Hi Cit,

Thanks for the scene.

To get to the Default scene, please look at the image below. You can also drag any Simulation Scene into the Pyro Output See image. I assume that is the missing part. If you want to place the Pyro Output back to Default, use the button.

The Simulation scenes work independently. So you can have more setups in the same scene, and those will not interfere with each other. If you don't need separation, you don't need to work with the extra objects. Use the default.

To have both "Kill" options as discussed. Use the scene's two set-ups and save each as preset with a proper name.

All the best

Thank you very much for the reply and feedback, pizza-revenue.

My best wishes for the project.

Hi, pizza-revenue,

Yes, that is my impression. As long as the Connectors stay 100%, the energy doesn't change based on the connectors. So, the energy must come from the energy that the simulation calculates. I would say that the initial state holds old energy, but there is something working on it; otherwise, it would be static.

Example:
CV4_2024_drs_24_SIis_11.c4d
Press play and observe the slider Target Length of the Connector.
This is how I explore those things. Make little test scenes. Then, different ones to double-check.

I thought about making it editable, but not knowing in which state they are when connected made me uncertain. I like to work with files here, not guessing.
This doesn't mean I have a solution in the "drawer". Sorry.

Cheers
