Fuel Tanks

[Sarkonis]

Just an idea but it may be a nice way to keep progression now that you guys have put in the new piping system. Fuel tanks that can be piped into engines.

Already planned :)

This is a great idea. To be implemented well -- there should be a way to see your reserve fuel from the cockpit. So, one bar (fuel in engines) and another bar for reserve (amount + type of fuel).

While we are at it -- a command screen could be cool. It'd show the above information, but also water reserves for gardening, ship damage, ship power (if implemented) ... that whole deal.

Engines run so long on Crystal Fuel, it's not really an issue.
And I certainly do not want the nightmare and mess of piping to my engines.

And where do you get the crystals from? I collected all the crystals in the first tower, but their number was limited. I decided to return to the first tower again... No crystals, no oxygen tanks, how is that? Crystals require new equipment and charging, but there are no crystals and there is no place to get them from

Find new towers. The world is procedurally generated and infinite, so just head in a random direction until you see an icon for the POI you want.

Quest towers with crystals are generated empty. You fly away to a similar one, you go down and it's empty

Sorry if I was not clear. There are multiple (4?) types of lift towers. They are tracked separately. Find a _new_ type, one you haven't seen before. Each type should be worth a pretty big haul of crystals if you explore completely.

I suspect the future story chapters will include more expansions to the underdust, so I don't think we will have to worry about running out before the end of the game. (Although you might not be able to play the same save for an infinite amount of time.)
