SummaryEdit
Efficient Thrusters are a starship technology and an upgrade for the Launch Thruster.
Game descriptionEdit
Upgrades the starship launch systems, decreasing the fuel cost of takeoff.
SourcesEdit
This technology can be acquired from the starship technology researcher on board the Space Anomaly for 120 Nanites.
CraftingEdit
Efficient Thrusters can be built using a blueprint and the following ingredients:
- Di-hydrogen Jelly x1 + Tritium x100 + Wiring Loom x2 → Efficient Thrusters
Efficient Thrusters can be repaired using the following ingredients:
- Di-hydrogen Jelly x1 + Tritium x100 + Wiring Loom x2
Efficient Thrusters can be dismantled after construction, returning the following ingredients:
- Efficient Thrusters → Tritium x50 + Wiring Loom x1
Additional informationEdit
- This technology provides a flat increase and does not benefit from an Upgrade bonus trigger by placing it directly next to the Launch Thrusters.
- When present in a ship, the launch fuel cost is multiplied by 0.8 (a +20% fuel efficiency bonus), taking the fuel usage from 25% per launch to 20% per launch.
- Although not possible in standard gameplay, adding more instances of Efficient Launch Thrusters to a ship will reduce the cost further. However, the added efficiency bonus decreases with each added unit (-5% for one unit (20% launch cost), -4% for two units (16% launch cost), -3.2% for three units (12.8% launch cost), -2.6% for four units (10.24% launch cost), so on) making the space requirements quite costly should the user wish to vastly increase fuel efficiency.
Release historyEdit
- NEXT - Added as a technology.
- Beyond - Blueprint location moved to the Space Anomaly from Space Stations.
