Used in the production of orbital rockets. It is the most long-lasting of all the fuel types. As of version 0.13, Rocket fuel can also be used in burner devices to provide 225MJ of energy, however this is slightly less efficient than using 10 [[solid fuel]]s unless extra products are created using [[productivity module]]s.
Used in the production of orbital rockets. It is the second-most long-lasting of all the fuel types, beat only by [[Nuclear fuel]]. Rocket fuel can also be used in burner devices to provide 100MJ of energy, however this is slightly less efficient than using 10 [[solid fuel]]s unless extra products are created using [[productivity module]]s.


All origins of solid fuel (made from heavy oil,light oil,petroleum) stack together and provide the same energy. Effectively, they are the same item. Thus, any type of solid fuel can be used for this recipe.
'''Vanilla:''' 10 rocket fuel are required for each [[rocket part]], so 1000 rocket fuel are needed for each rocket launch.  Additionally 50 rocket fuel are required for each [[satellite]].
 
'''Space Age:''' 1 rocket fuel is required for 1 rocket parts, and 50 rocket parts are needed for a rocket launch. So 50 rocket fuel are needed for each rocket launch.

Used in the production of orbital rockets. It is the second-most long-lasting of all the fuel types, beat only by Nuclear fuel. Rocket fuel can also be used in burner devices to provide 100MJ of energy, however this is slightly less efficient than using 10 solid fuels unless extra products are created using productivity modules.

Vanilla: 10 rocket fuel are required for each rocket part, so 1000 rocket fuel are needed for each rocket launch. Additionally 50 rocket fuel are required for each satellite.

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