Solid-Fuel Thruster

The Solid-Fuel Thruster is a medium (Tier 2) attachment found in caves, spaceship wrecks, on the surface of a planet, or researched and crafted. Solid-Fuel Thrusters are single-use, allowing one way travel thus it is important to create an extra thruster but kept in packaged form on your backpack should you want to go on a return trip to a planet.

The Maximum number of maneuvers is 2. Lifting off from a planet will consume 1 of the maneuvers. Travelling to another planet will also consume 1 of the maneuvers. Fortunately landing does not consume any maneuvers.

If for example you wanted to travel to the Tundra planet to collect resources it would be wise to wait for the planet to come into flight range to fly directly to the planet as you cannot planet jump to the Tundra planet using solid-fuel thrusters. With roughly a 20 minute day/night cycle, it will be a long wait for the Tundra planet should it move out of flight range.

Obtaining
They may be crafted with 1 Ammonium and 1 Aluminum, found in the lower levels of caves, spaceship wrecks, or in some cases on the surface of a planet.

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. Because these are single use, you may carry an extra in your backpack for a return trip if packed in a crate.
