A simple mod that makes the destruction of fuel tanks truely explosive! When a fuel tank is destroyed, an explosion will both destroy and push away parts in its area of effect. Customise the explosion's settings by editing the values in the mod's settings.txt file (Created when the mod is first run). Direct download link here.

And can I make the shockwave extend further than the destruction radius?

Does the velocity of the object matter?
Only for initial destruction of the fuel tank by another part (but that's how vanilla SFS works). The explosion can inherit the velocity of the exploding fuel tank if that setting is enabled (which should make the mod work better in orbit where everything is moving past the explosion).

How many times must this be said, Saying necropost alert doesn't help the problem. If you believe somebody is necro-posting then send them a private message about it; This lazy-ness of calling out necro-posting is in-itself, spamming and necroposting. And to give this a bit more of a personal touch to make it truly stick; Calling out necro-posting publicly is mere vanity, doing it merely to make yourself seem more impressive.

Here's a slighly modified bible quote that'll fit if you're one of those christian folks:

And when thou comments on necroposting, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to comment on necroposting standing in the big threads and in the profile posts, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou comments on necropsoting, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, send a private message to the person who necroposted which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

It isn't necroposting if someone already revived the thread. Relax a bit. That gif is a bit of a community tradition.
