Deadlock! solid fuel thruster and petrolium engine problems

solid fuel boosters are usable on steam rockets, oxidizer tank isnt.  you can get to 20000 or even 30000 using solid boosters on steam.  They will hand deliver the oxylite.

Solid boosters have their own "internal" oxidizer tanks, they do not need separate tank.

ok, thx , I rebuilt rocket with petroleum engine and cargo bay, filled tank with petroleum and now i stucked with 0km range

That's because you didn't add oxidizer tank.

ok i was fooled again, because before of that it didnt use oxidizer, and now there is no description in engine or game-wiki about its  true requirement

Check out the ONI Rocket Calculator. It's not perfect, but it gives a good guide for 90% of rocket builds. The only thing it doesn't do correctly is recalculate required field if you add empty fuel/oxidizer tanks (you can use research modules in 2:1 ratio instead). That's the only way I was able to get a handle on how rockets are supposed to be structured.

 

Ugh sorry for necro. Thought I was on main bug page not a search.
