Object description

Rocket fuel is a fuel that is used in the production of orbital rockets. Unlike solid fuel, it's made in assembling machines. Rocket fuel can be used in burner devices to provide 100MJ of energy. Since 10 solid fuels it's made of would provide 120MJ, this is slightly less efficient than using solid fuels, unless extra products are created using productivity modules or productivity research. It is the second-most long-lasting of all the fuel types, beaten only by nuclear fuel. It is also the second-best fuel for vehicles, providing 115% top speed and 180% acceleration, again beaten only by nuclear fuel, which provides same top speed but 250% acceleration.

Vanilla: 10 rocket fuels are required for 1 rocket part, and 100 rocket parts are needed for a rocket launch, so 1000 rocket fuels are needed for each launch. Additional 50 rocket fuels are required for crafting each satellite.

Space Age: 1 rocket fuel is required for 1 rocket part, and 50 rocket parts are needed for a rocket launch, so 50 rocket fuels are needed for each launch.

History

• 2.0.24:
  • Changed rocket fuel from ammonia recipe to require the same amount of solid fuel as the main rocket fuel recipes to prevent a recycling loop.

• 2.0.7:
  • Increased rocket fuel stack size from 10 to 20.
  • Decreased the crafting time of rocket fuel from 30 to 15.

• 0.17.60:
  • Rocket fuel requires light oil.

• 0.17.0:
  • Relative fuel value of rocket fuel decreased by 10.6%.

• 0.15.0:
  • Fuel type now affects vehicle acceleration and top speed.

• 0.13.0:
  • Rocket fuel can now be used as fuel.

• 0.12.0:
  • Introduced
