Solid-Fuel Thruster

The Solid-Fuel Thruster is a (Tier 2) vehicle attachment that is crafted. They are expendable, with enough charges allowing a maximum of four take-offs and planet hops, thus it is important to create an extra thruster but kept packaged on your backpack should you want to go on a longer trip.

The maximum number of maneuvers is four. Lifting off from a planet will consume one maneuver. Travelling to another planet will also consume one maneuver. Fortunately, landing does not consume any maneuvers.

Usage
Solid-Fuel Thrusters can be attached to any vehicle or structure with 2 slots available. They are best used with the Small Shuttle early on as a way to explore other planets before acquiring the Hydrazine Thruster and Medium Shuttle and Large Shuttle. Because these are single use, you may carry an extra in your backpack for a return trip if packed in a crate.

Solid-Fuel Thrusters may also be placed on Rovers and activated to boost the rover and possibly launch it into the sky. Doing so may result in the rover getting stuck due to the way physics work in the game.

Bugs
As of 1.1.3.0 you can repair a used (but not broken) Solid-Fuel Thruster by repacking and unpacking it. Essentially changing the price for a round trip with a Solid-Fuel Thruster from one Ammonium and one Aluminum to two Graphite.
