Thruster fuel is a liquid and is one of the two main ingredients, along with thruster oxidizer, for running the thruster to allow a space platform to move from planet to planet.
Because thruster fuel cannot be barreled, each platform must produce its own fuel by collecting asteroids.
Thrusters have a maximum consumption of 120 fuel per second. It requires 3.2 chemical plants producing fuel to keep a single thruster operating at maximum consumption. It also requires nearly the full output of a single chemical plant executing ice melting to supply this amount of oxidizer production.

It requires less than one chemical plant producing fuel with this recipe to keep a single thruster operating at maximum consumption. Half the output of a chemical plant melting ice can keep up with this chemical plant.
