  • Colony Base: This building is the main base of the colonies.

    • Materials
      • 7 Tons of construction Material

  • Refinery: The refinery will allow you to recharge your rocket fuel. This building needs electricity to work, so you will need to create Solar Panels

    • Materials
      • 12 Tons of construction Material
      • 10 tons of electronic components
    • Building
      • When you are near the colony you can press U to open a colony window. This window shows a button for each building that can be created, so to create a refinery you have to press refinery button.
  • Solar Panels: The 'Solar Panels' will allow you to recharge the batteries of your rockets and provide electricity to other buildings that need it to function.

    • Materials
      • 4 Tons of construction Material
      • 13 tons of electronic components
    • Building

Once the antenna is implemented in the rocket it will need electricity to work and it is necessary to activate the antenna, to activate it press the letter Y. Once activated, the antenna will connect to the space center antenna and allow the rocket to be controlled.

Once the rocket is in orbit, it needs to have a connection to the space center antenna. This connection can occur directly or indirectly.

Custom Parts🆕

Also some new parts are added to the game. Some of them are listed below:

  • Balloon: This part adds a balloon to the game that allows you to lift objects without the need for motors. The thrust force of the balloon is calculated by the atmospheric density, so in an environment with low atmospheric density, the thrust force is less.

  • Piston: It is a simple piece that is used to push things.

  • Cargo parts: These parts are used to transport materials used to create colonies.

  • Rotor: Add a rotor to the game that allows you to fly in the Game. The Rotor needs electricity to work, so you need to install Electricity Part Pack.
