Thruster utilizing Fuel and Oxidizer + new fuel option
Not Enough Votes
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.
