Space Efficient Thruster Pattern
Posted: Fri Nov 01, 2024 8:11 am
Thruster can't be rotated , or flipped, this leads to quite the variety of possible way to place them. Some more or less "efficient", here the goal was to have the maximum amount of thrusters in a single row, without having gaps between them and have it be a straight line so it's easier to scale for large ships
The bp just contain 2 thruster and the pipes that need to be placed next to each other.
If you want to use some fuel throttle mechanism with this, i would recommend activating the chemplants producing it based on circuits condition, this is because you may be required to use too many pumps (3000/s max ) if you start using quality thrusters and like 20 of them whereas for chemplants with beacons and modules the ratio to thruster will be much better, as 1 chemplant can produce more than 3000 fuel per second.
