Will this mod get an update just to ensure functionality? I mean i understand it's a simple mod just the last time it was updated was in 2020

it's annoying that you have to place it down and test it to see which way is the front and back, but if you could add an arrow or a marking telling us which way it should face that would be nice.

Hey, fantastic mod, but i have found a bug. if you place one (Creative, I haven't tested survival) then reload the world, they almost entirely disappear. the block is still there, but all of the model except for the little spinning things are invisible. Great mod, I'd love it if this gets fixed.

Ok, thanks

Apothicon [author] 27 Oct, 2021 @ 8:44am

same amount of reduced thrust as ion thrusters have

luftmann 26 Oct, 2021 @ 7:05pm

How much Reduced Thrust for planets?

Boldtaar 19 May, 2021 @ 3:45am

Was hoping to use this for my Stargate Puddle jumper but the drive was almost the same size as the ship. Any plans for adding a small version?

Apothicon [author] 12 May, 2021 @ 3:56pm

lol

swerdna.jack 10 May, 2021 @ 9:40am

"Has two spinning things" he has no idea what they are though.

kinngrimm 24 Apr, 2021 @ 11:43am

sounds good to me :)

Apothicon [author] 24 Apr, 2021 @ 6:42am

iirc it works but with reduced thrust

kinngrimm 23 Apr, 2021 @ 5:42pm

Does the gravity of planets have an effect on the performance of this drive?

Fuedrakia 24 Jan, 2021 @ 4:40pm

Thank you for this mod, with this I was able to refit my mobile station which made it less of a hassle to dock ships with it.

@Aki Gravity Drive, uses the same icon as the Warp Drive, think you have to do a search to find it. Icon threw me when I was looking for it

Maku 27 Sep, 2020 @ 8:19am

i cant find it in the menu anywhere, what is it called?

Apothicon [author] 1 Sep, 2020 @ 11:25am

It provides thrust in 1 direction just like thrusters do so yes you would need one pointing in each direction.

Sacrid Author 1 Sep, 2020 @ 10:53am

Does it inertial dampen itself, or do I need a second one pointed in the other direction?

Apothicon [author] 27 Jul, 2020 @ 11:15am

did u enable the mod?

Dice 27 Jul, 2020 @ 10:58am

im not finding it in the G menu

Apothicon [author] 3 Jun, 2020 @ 8:47am

Yes, but with reduced thrust.

VoidNightmare 3 Jun, 2020 @ 5:02am

Does it work in atmo?

Mighty_Assa 26 May, 2020 @ 4:47am

works fine, looks good, has moving parts. that's awesome and i'm gonna use it for the rest of my SE life ;)

Mort 12 May, 2020 @ 6:30pm

once created, is it efficient, is it a better choice than hydrogen?

Simaster48 11 May, 2020 @ 3:48am

Nvm, figured it out.

Simaster48 11 May, 2020 @ 2:05am

Despite having subscribed and added the mod to a world I can't find the block in the G menu.

Any ideas as to why?

Zachery 2 May, 2020 @ 4:33pm

100/10

Zachery 2 May, 2020 @ 4:33pm

these are amazing can u make a sub-light engine from halo

Apothicon [author] 29 Apr, 2020 @ 4:52pm

theres a small grid version and a large grid version but there are no variants for specific grid types.

ЧВК "ЧЕРЁМУХА УШАСТАЯ" 29 Apr, 2020 @ 9:21am

Small version?

Apothicon [author] 7 Apr, 2020 @ 5:36am

lol

Not VanLanyrinth 6 Apr, 2020 @ 6:06pm

you had me at spiny things

Apothicon [author] 12 Mar, 2020 @ 7:15am

it is the same way that ion thrusters work. If you are in gravity then they provide 80% less thrust then if you were in space. Placing 5 times as more is not recommended as that would make the ship very heavy with little benefit. These are designed for use in space.

SmellySeal 11 Mar, 2020 @ 10:09pm

So what does it mean for only provide 20% as much force? does that mean I'll need 5 times more of gravity drives to achieve same acceleration in natural gravity?

Ghosty 8 Mar, 2020 @ 8:55pm

ight

Apothicon [author] 8 Mar, 2020 @ 4:25pm

it requires no gravity gens to work. Just a power source.

Ghosty 8 Mar, 2020 @ 4:25pm

so does it need gravity gens to work or does it not because i have a large ship with 8 gens and i want to put it in but im not sure if it will work without more gens

Apothicon [author] 20 Feb, 2020 @ 3:29pm

yes, but it will only provide 20% as much force.

Iamcrapatgames 20 Feb, 2020 @ 2:11pm

Can it be used in natural gravity?

Apothicon [author] 19 Feb, 2020 @ 4:17am

correct

DragonLoon 18 Feb, 2020 @ 9:57pm

@Carl, if you are asking if inertial dampeners work with these the answer is yes they do. They act just like a normal engine/thruster except with no flame/thruster damage and can be hidden inside a ship (and protected from enemy fire that way)

Jockey_Strappers 18 Feb, 2020 @ 9:35pm

does it also cooperate with inertia dampening?

Apothicon [author] 18 Feb, 2020 @ 10:48am

Update:
- Added small grid variant
- Fixed parts of model being invisible
- Scaled up UV maps in order to remove the blurry effect on the textures.

Hesa_Heart 14 Feb, 2020 @ 8:40pm

Why am i not getting a file when i download, downloads are working as i have grabbed others mods after yours, thank you

Apothicon [author] 14 Feb, 2020 @ 3:19pm

A small grid variant is coming within a few days.

DragonLoon 14 Feb, 2020 @ 1:47pm

I already love this mod, thank you for making it. Once last quick question, is there any plan for having a small grid version of this item in the future?

Apothicon [author] 14 Feb, 2020 @ 8:56am

Update:
- Replaced with new model to make it easier to tell which way it should be facing
- Added a 2nd build stage

DragonLoon 14 Feb, 2020 @ 6:47am

Or maybe even Red for "Danger" (even though there is no danger from thruster damage and all)... (Most ppl (including myself) might think about having these still sticking out side the ship because they are thinking of thruster damage and all that...)

Apothicon [author] 14 Feb, 2020 @ 6:37am

oh i just thought of an easy way to do that, i can make those parts that stick out on the end darker on the side that it thrusts from

Skallabjorn 14 Feb, 2020 @ 6:29am

Needs somethign to show Front and back of thruster is what they are saying...

Apothicon [author] 13 Feb, 2020 @ 5:07pm

im not sure what you mean by face the ship, its susposed to go inside the ship
