Tritium Thruster

Description
Powerful Reactors, Powerful Batteries and Powerful Solar Panels highly recommended in order to power these blocks.


The tritium thruster is designed to move very heavy things, very fast. With 100 and 1000 times the thrust of a large hydrogen thruster you'll be at the speed cap faster than ever before.

This is always going to be balance breaking but to mitigate it somewhat it has ridiculous power draw, 10 or 100 GW for the thruster and 10 MW when the tank is running. The amount of ice required to produce tritium is also much higher than hydrogen and more power intensive to process.

Adds 4 blocks:
Tritium Thruster
Tritium Thruster x10
Tritium Tank
Tritium Generator

Dude your Tritium Generators suck. How my game is modded the Tritium thruster at full load is using 22.49 KL's of fuel and your pathetic Tritium Generator is only pushing out 50 L's DID YOU READ ME? 50 LITERS THAT'S ONLY 0.05 KL'S. At that rate i'll need to build the whole damn ship out of just Tritium Generator's WORTHLESS MOD DUE TO THE PATHETIC GENERATORS ONLY and cause you can use Hydrogen the whole mod is worthless even for small ships. Man just do us all a favor and Take this BS down.

Good afternoon, I'm facing the same problem as your mod. for your tritium blocks work quietly on hydrogen and tritium. have you tried to solve this problem?

What's the chances of this being modified with the new industrial blocks?

Does anybody know how many blocks of space is needed to not damage things with this engine?

i really do wish this also had a small size, because it be great for a few design for a quick boost in stoping power to land bigger ships.. that way you could use gravity to get down to a planet then punch these to slow down and then land.. and i feel the fuel requires are honestly good.. just wish there was both large and small.

Can't see the output flames.

Needs a more powerful generator.

mods like this are lifesavers, helps to keep block counts smaller so perfect for just avarage PCs with no dedi server. many thanks for the Powerful parts as well o7

@McCloud Jr It works just like hydrogen but requires far more ice both for balancing and because in real life tritium is a much rarer hydrogen isotope so it makes sense that it would require far more ice and power to produce it.

@Azirahael I'm glad you like it. I originally made it for an orbital cargo cannon but thought other people might find other useful applications and I'm glad to see that's the case.
RE the tank power use: The tank itself uses 10MW whenever it is turned on so its effectively an extra power cost whenever producing tritium from generators or running a thruster since the tank will only supply and recieve the tritium when turned on. It's probably an unnecessary complication from a gameplay perspective but I thought it seemed thematically appropriate with the idea the fuel is very unstable.
