Tiered Thrusters

Description
Tiered Thrusters
Are you tired of building a nice ship just to realize you have to add one milion thrusters to make it fly so it effectively turns into a ball of thrusters? Well so am I and it annoyed me so much I decided to make a mod that adds tiers of thrusters.





How does it work
Each tier increases the thrust of the block by the corresponding multiplier, to put it simply:
Tier 2 = 2x Force Magnitude
Tier 3 = 3x Force Magnitude


This mod also changes the build times and components needed to assemble higher tier thrusters and it follows the same principle as with the force magnitude multiplier. For example a Tier 2 thruster will cost twice as many components and will take twice as long to weld compared to it's T1 counterpart (which is the default thruster).

Also adds gyroscope tiers that follow the same scaling as thrusters.




QA

Whats affected by a higher tier:
- Component cost
- Build time
- Force magnitude (thrust power)

What is not affected by a higher tier:
- Fuel consumption

What tiers are available:
- Tier 1 (default thrusters)
- Tier 2
- Tier 3
- Tier 4
- Tier 5


But there are already mods with tiered thrusters, how is this one different?
Well I couldn't find a mod that uses all the DLC thrusters and to me thats a deal breaker, since I paid for the DLC so I want to use the damn dlc thrusters. Also other mods introduce custom thrusters which is something Im not really interested in.

I did upload a version of it with Flatmos ( https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3577680655 ) if you do wish for me to take it down I will and will even give you the files if you want to update this one.

Hi,
i have a done a Version with increased power usage and research. If anbody want it, tell me here.

Hi,
has anyone an updated version with realistic power consumption values?
thx

@Lord Skarra
well there are multipel different mods with tiered thrusters with different maultipliers for the different tiers, some with and some without the dlc thrusters.
some are even absolutly brokenly overpowered cause they just increase the thrust massivly (just as an example thrust is increased over t1-t4 by x4, x16, x64, x256 with t0 beeing the vanilla thrusters) but not the energy or fuel requirements.
so every tiered thruster mod is different.

This has already been done by someone else.

Also what are the thrust amounts?

Hey?
