This is just a getting started guide. Back when this was made, there were no insulated tanks and it never froze or condensed... Did purge it sometimes though as the fuel temp has been managed at the refueling station.

Might want to put in some form of temperature control. Not sure what the best route for this would be, but eventually the oxidizer and fuel will freeze or try to liquify

is there any changes on the O2 modification, as i remember that the ratio was 1:2 O2/Fuel.

You can find it among the screenshots here

Where is the video for the rocket assembly guide and part counts

I hope someday you made liquid rockets too :D

Yea plenty room for improvement left I can imagine. Rather meant as a "getting started guide" to long range rocketry. But good to know for when I have to update this once we get new rocket parts.

Empty space at 3 lvl is special? If you place angle on 1lvl, you can change 1x1 fuel tank on 2 to 1x2 tank on 2+3lvl

But in any case great work

Thank you... Made it in Blender mostly. Also used OBS and GIMP

Very cool video, how you made it?

Thanks... isn't it amazing what they did to the rockets? haven't experimented with O2 rockets on mars yet but same principles should apply. Temperature as low as possible within its gaseous phase. The max. liquid temp for oxygen is 162 K (-111°C). Setting it to 165 K will prevent all condensation despite high pressures. O2/Fuel ratio as you probably know is 1:3 and I'd start with an O2 feed pressure of around 15000 KPa and test my way down to maybe 10000 KPa. This fuel gives you lower thrust and I'd try three rocket segments first to test fire and see if it is in the 1.5 ballpark with its thrust to weight ratio while tuning the feed pressure.

This is awesome! I'm on Mars so N2O is virtually nonexistent. Any hints on using O2 instead? Yeah I know I can use a Nitrolyzer but looking for a lazy option

Thank you... yea had to show off my SimpleHatsMod ;) there is still plenty of room for improvement left... script, build and information wise but I reckon it is pretty solid for folks that are just getting into Stationeers rocketry and don't mind babysitting the rocket a little bit.

Animation and video editing all happened in Blender.

Damn, thats a really good rocket!
I love the end of the video! xD

Btw how did you made this video where the rocket gets assembled step by step?

Thanks a ton. I enjoyed making this very much. The rocket update turned out really good... so curious how they will evolve over time.

This is amazing, especially the video is just super cool!
