Thruster utilizing Fuel and Oxidizer + new fuel option

Rocket engines burn fuel and oxidizer.

We have H2 and O2 tanks already available in SE. Thruster need connection to both kind of tanks to work. Fuel and Oxidizer can be supplied via one conveyor port. An additonal RP-1 fuel tank offers more options to refueling rockets and can also be used for motors/generators.


New Voxel material:

-> "Oil sand" as alternative source of fuel for dry planets


New blocks:


-> "Linde Destillator" to produce liquid, pure O2 (LOX) from planetary atmosphere

-> "RP-1 Refinery" to produce Refined Petroleum Rocket Fuel from oil sand


PS: please give H2 thruster selectable smoke effect depending on thrust output

New system proposals are best when they interact with existing systems and provide emergent game play. As described, you have proposed a new type of thruster that requires a new voxel material (with no other purpose) that requires a second block to turn into fuel (and has no other purpose). And you have proposed a third block that serves no purpose except to support the first block you proposed. Your heart in the right place, but this is far too narrow a system proposal.

no new thruster. the actual one should consume both fuel and oxidizer.

you can produce everything from ice. oil sand is just an optional new feature for planets without ice.

after reading a bit more on this support page, I dont think keen is caring about anything here. some basic features were copied from mods. everythings else is ignored since years.
