Ozcuraz Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 You can use an auto-sweeper as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see the point of boosting when your fuel is not full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper materials, lower cost investment, lower space requirements for the rocket silo, less gantries, etc. It's the intermediary step from steam rockets to petroleum.

psusi Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 What do you mean the booster doesn't need to be refueled? I thought it used up iron and oxylite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzionut Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Quote I thought it used up iron and oxylite? It uses. That is the reason why i don't use them. To much iron. So i skip it and wait the petroleum engine I prefer use the iron for converting it to steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There`s a bug where it`s not using the fuel and lands full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My petro tanks and lox are coming back full too. Now Klei should teach spacex about these truly reusable rocket designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
