fuel rods

[Best4Gamers]

how the hell i change the fuel rod ???

[DivineEvil]

- make sure the rod in the fuel chamber is not bolted on. If it is, unbolt it using the Bolt Tool right-click.
- press F on it to pick it up. Drop it somewhere or pick into inventory using P.
- grab the spare rod with F and drag it to the fuel chamber. Press C to engage snapping.
- position the spare fuel rod to the fuel chamber for it to snap into it. Release by F.
- rods do not need to be bolted to remain in place, but you can bolt it just to make sure.
- profit.

Not quite right. E to pick up and let go of an object.
If you need to turn the object in your hands into other positions hold down X / Y / Z while moving the mouse.
Everything else DivineEvil said is correct.

REmember to adjust the generators output down to 22 if you are flying an unmodified a beginners laborer ship.

You have major problems when building an entirely new ship in easy build because the generator doesn't come with a working fuel rod lol
You have to build the ship then pay to spawn it some place else and fit the fuel rod before the despawn timer runs out lol

Some people have issues with Fuel Rods. Recommended to double tap e on it once placed and throw a bolt in it just to make sure it's more secured and hopefully updates correctly.

Actually, you can turn off easy build mode and attach the fuel rods then.
