WasteHeat dissipation #15

While using only solar panels (OX-4L 1x6) that generate heat and having a small radial radiator attached to the probe heat keeps building up without beeing dissipated. After several years i reached 44302 units of WasteHeat. Max. Heat production is 4x1KW.

The same happens with the small solar panel or the small inline radiator.

Maybe the HeatProduction is to small so "HeatreductionFunction" rounds it down to 0? Atleast thats what it feels like to me... without ever having have looked at the sourcecode... will give it a try tomorrow... or maybe i misunderstand how it should work?

Nice Mod!!

Further playing arround.... seams that this happens when you have 1.25m engines attached... with the 2.5m engines and fuel (from an earlier stage) still connected there is no wasteheat buildup as described... only when the last stage with the 1.25m engine is activated the buildup starts.
