Apply proliferator to space warper

[Los]

Is there any point of spraying space warpers with it?

[Rekal]

At the moment, no. Warpers are currently not used in any recipes for constructing something else and the usage of them is binary on/off. As such there is no benefit to spraying the item with proliferator.

The description has the default extra product text, but is not actually used anywhere. Perhaps in a future update we'll have warp capable cruise missiles or disposable drone warships, or perhaps not.

I so want that, and I'm not even particularly interested in combat. Interstellar ballistic missiles and drone cruisers sound awesome.

i was hoping it would have a similar effect to proliferating fuel

They could implement that proliferated warpers use less energy but that is not done (yet). Also by the time you need to produce warpers in significant numbers energy is usually no problem anymore so it probably will never get implemented.

Power production itself isnt a problem...but ILSs can only charge so fast, thus theres a limit to how fast you can launch vessels. It would be nice if proliferated warpers reduced the power consumed so you could launch vessels quicker. The only work around to this is just building more ILSs.

Have you adjusted the ILS charging power? It can go from 60MW (default) to 300MW.

Bit of a necro (not sure how people even find these threads from years ago).

It's possible they knew about the power slider, very late game even 300MW is not enough to keep an ILS topped off when transporting huge quantities of stuff.

There is a mod that can lower the power requirements for launching vessels that can help considerably though.
