A quick thing, we'll never have emission-less engines for space flight in reality. Keen has always tried to base their tech level on 'achievements humanity can make in x amount of years' which always made me chuckle since gravity generators are ridiculous, and combat-grade lasers are capable of being produced today... But whatever on that.

TL:DR - Gravity based drives can't be made in RL that's why keen didn't add them.


Although, I'm so fucking happy that they exist here. God am I glad. I hate having these stupid knobs and nozzles sticking out in random stupid places.

It seemed too heavy on its own, which I hadn't taken into account.
Maybe I'll make a new version, but I'm not sure when.

wonderful mod.
I miss this from the beginning.
how can anyone imagine that in the long-term future we will still depend on engines that emit jets. And just now someone has been able to do magnetic propulsion.
I'm very hopeful that you make a more powerful version, one that pushes in all directions, and that consumes less energy as you still need to place a lot of blocks to be cost-effective. I'm trying to renovate my old ships putting gravity engines in them but they end up not being enough or consuming too much (and I'm already using the 5x version).

It still works, this is a great mod :)

Doesn't appear to work

Awesome mod.

can you make the engine power depend on their number on the ship? to feel like a vanilla paradox engine

Please set the categories correctly on your mod - this is not a planet or asteroid and shouldn't be in those categories as it just makes it harder to find those things.

You should add a version of this that has capabilities to thrust in all sides. So with one block you can move in all directions with only one thruster

@GrynnReaper
You can try the 5-fold version. The normal version is only 3 times the thrust of the ion thruster, which is slightly weaker than the atmospheric thruster on the planet

how many of these do you need to get a small ship off the ground? 10 wasn't enough

然而一开始没有铀的话还是得插满推进器的....

好!终于不用浑身插满推进器了

I love you thank you for making this
