Engine heatsinks not counting towards heatsink capacity during tutorial

[CptMoore]

I'll try it to reproduce it on my end, is the engine fully installed on the tutorial mech? core, engine, gyro, engine heat block..

[SteelShrike]

The mech used during the tutorial is just a standard BJ-1 Blackjack before they take away your jumpjets, so it shouldn't behave any differently. I had made some modifications to the items in MechEngineer so I thought maybe that was it, but I tested it with the latest version, no changes and no other mods active, and it still occurred. All engine items were present.

I suspect it's something to do with how heavily scripted that first mission is and how it disables certain abilities until you're required to use them, but it's just a hunch.

ok just started the tutorial, moved, shot 4 MBL

init

sourceID = EngineCoreEffect_HeatSinkCapacity_ec9d2280-ca9a-4d90-8a20-963d8a4c0a39.0, statName = HeatSinkCapacity, op = Int_Add, variant = 21
sourceID = PassiveEffect_ec9d2280-ca9a-4d90-8a20-963d8a4c0a39.0_36, statName = HeatSinkCapacity, op = Int_Add, variant = 3
sourceID = PassiveEffect_ec9d2280-ca9a-4d90-8a20-963d8a4c0a39.0_37, statName = HeatSinkCapacity, op = Int_Add, variant = 3
sourceID = PassiveEffect_ec9d2280-ca9a-4d90-8a20-963d8a4c0a39.0_38, statName = HeatSinkCapacity, op = Int_Add, variant = 3

21+3+3+3 => 30
looks alright

4x12 -> 48
makes sense to me

2021-07-07T18:48:02 CombatLog.Heat [LOG] Mech Blackjack sinks 11 points of heat; result heat = 37

37 left??
-11??
what?
48-30 = 18 left

2021-07-07T18:48:02 CombatLog.Heat [LOG] Mech Blackjack final heat = 37 out of 100

lies!

2021-07-07T20:08:02 Changed stat to 21
2021-07-07T20:08:02 Changed stat to 24
2021-07-07T20:08:02 Changed stat to 27
2021-07-07T20:08:02 Changed stat to 30
2021-07-07T20:08:10 Changed stat to 11

yea someone hardcodes this to 11

That's VERY bizarre. The only way that makes sense from an unmodded perspective is if that number is meant to be multiplied by 3. 10 internal heatsinks by default and then the one external heatsink the BJ-1 has in the vanilla game.

If I turn off the HeatSinkCapacityStat setting in the MechEngineer Settings.json, it actually sinks the appropriate amount of heat. Obviously the rest of the game breaks then at that point.

[CptMoore]

int num = (int)mech.TotalHeatProducedByWeapons - 45;
num = Mathf.Max(num, 0);
mech.StatCollection.Set("HeatSinkCapacity", forced ? num : 0);

[CptMoore]

I fixed it by just disabling the offending code that does the StatCollection.Set .
See upcoming automated latest build.
