Building a silo requires, among other things, [[Electric engine unit]]s, [[Engine unit]]s, and [[Processing unit]]s, which must be produced in [[assembling machine]]s and cannot be crafted by hand from raw. The rocket itself can also only be produced in the silo.

Output slot can hold up to 2K [[Space science pack|space science packs]], so launching rocket when rocket silo already has more than 1K of science packs causes loss of science packs (as opposed to assembling machines which stop producing when output is full). You should ensure that space science packs are removed from silo at enough rate when having "Auto launch with cargo" setting enabled.

Player.png

The Rocket Silo is currently the only win condition. Once the silo has been built and placed it can be filled with low density structures, rocket fuel, and rocket control units which will allow rocket parts to be created within the silo.

In order to launch a rocket, 100 rocket parts need to be crafted. Each rocket part needs 10 low density structure, 10 rocket fuel, and 10 rocket control unit.

When all rocket parts have been completed the rocket silo interface will be at 100% and allow the player to input a satellite component. Launching the rocket with a satellite will complete the game and a win menu will be displayed that shows all kills and the playing time, asking the player to exit the current game, continue, or view the replay.

However, launching the silo without the satellite is sadly pointless, as it won't count as a win, and will be a massive waste of resources. More resources will be needed to make another rocket.

Building a silo requires, among other things, Electric engine units, Engine units, and Processing units, which must be produced in assembling machines and cannot be crafted by hand from raw. The rocket itself can also only be produced in the silo.

Output slot can hold up to 2K space science packs, so launching rocket when rocket silo already has more than 1K of science packs causes loss of science packs (as opposed to assembling machines which stop producing when output is full). You should ensure that space science packs are removed from silo at enough rate when having "Auto launch with cargo" setting enabled.

Achievements
