Thrust override consume H2 while the thuster block is toggled off

Thrust override consume H2 from hydrogen tank while the thuster block is off.

Steps to reproduce:

-Connect any hydrogen thruster to a hydrogen tank.

-Toggle on the hydrogen thruster, set any thrust override value other than 'disabled'

-Toggle off the thruster

Observed behavior:

The hydrogen tank is still outputing H2 for the toggled off thruster.

If I set back the thrust override to disabled, then consumption stops.

I have to manually toggle off the thruster and set the thrust override to 0 to guarantee

my hydrogen thruster to not drain any H2.

Expected behavior:

The H2 thruster should not consume fuel when toggled off even while the thrust override is not disabled.


Notes:

Was creating a large grid ship on Survival.

From the visual I dont get any flame out of the thrust-overrided thruster while the H2 tank is getting drained out, this being because its toggled off I assume.

On the other hand, setting a positive thrust override while the block is off will not provoke the unexpected behavior, until you toggle it on and off.

This bugs happens only after turning of the thrusters.


How to reproduce:

Connect a thruster to a filled hydrogen tank or a gas generator with ice in it.

Turn the truster of. No hydrogen is taken out of the tank and no ice is used in the generator.

Set the Thrust override of the Thruster to any value except Disabled. Still no hydrogen or ice is used.

Turn the truster on and it's using hydrogen or the generator uses ice to produce hydrogen.

Turn the truster off again. Now it's still using the same amount of hydrogen as if it's working but it doesn't produce any thrust.

Set the Thrust override to Disabled. Now there is no usage of any resources anymore.

If you increase the Thrust override again, while the thruster is switched off the usage of hydrogen doesn't happens again.


This means if a thruster is switched on once in a loaded world, the trusters uses hydrogen of you used Thrust override while the truster was active.

You have to set the thrusters Thrus override to Diasabled once to get rid of the bug.

I also have this bug and it is causing issues with my hydrogen vent mod because people prefer to use override for it to dump H2.
