currently, when using heat missile and vent together, one must micro vents on and off constantly
to fix:
i am already doing 2 manually and it is not fun or very interesting micro

As this seems like the most relevant suggestion:
Thermal storage flickers when heat dissipation is greater than heat generation (curiously at different intervals between two mirrored designs). Having heat prioritize missiles > vents > storage could also prevent this kind of visual annoyance.

it's not just a visual annoyance, parts jus do not function without excessive manual intervention
you can have 2 different heat circuits but then you have to have 2 different heat circuits

Bumping this because working with thermal missiles is a pain for this reason

It depends on it thermal canisters are a primarally a weapon, in which case Missles>Vents>Storage, or if they are heat disposal, in which case Vents>Canisters>Storage makes the most sense.
It could go eithe way. Perhaps two different firing modes on a launcher set for thermal canister missiles? "Missile mode" vs "Canister mode"?

A priority on heat accepting pieces would be nice. Either numbers like with crew or at least a high priority toggle that makes them be considered first when looking to store heat.

Are there any other parts that care what order they are in? Vents and unpowered thermal beams passively drain heat from the system, thermal storages HAVE to be last to function properly (a thermal storage that doesnt let you vent or launch missiles until it's full is, at BEST, a timing tool for AI), and everything else is heat generation that doesnt care where it goes as long as it goes SOMEWHERE. Only thermal canisters care where in the priority they are.

Yeah heat missiles are hard to use without micro, maybe a mode for heat sinks that prioritizes them to be filled and have heat missiles be the highest prioritized for heat storage so the priority heat sinks could dump heat into the heat missiles automatically. I agree that at least heat missiles should have top priority for heat dumping but I would like to see more.
