retrorockets useless?

[ScriptedSniper69]

So apparently they re supposed to save you from a lethal fall, but either dont work automatically or are bugged.

I have two of em installed and they dont do ♥♥♥♥

There are several things to keep in mind:
#1 You have to actually install the retrorockets -> a lot of people forget this but apparently you didn't
#2 The fall they save you from must be an otherwise lethal fall -> seems like you have that covered as well
#3 You need to have at least some fuel left in your jetpack to ignite the retrorockets with -> by elimination, I guess this is your problem?

how do you "actually" install them? i spent an lp and have two circles bottom right

[ScriptedSniper69]

nevermind i did not install them and they do actually activate without any fuel but theyre still useless i gues since you only need a tiny bit of fuel to not take any fall damage. I hope they atleast dont cost lp to refill ..

I think I understand. First, you have to 'buy' the ability to equip retrorockets. After that, you can equip x amount of retrorockets by using the workbench but this does not require any LP.

It's like the ability to increase your total fuel capacity: you have to 'buy' the ability to increase your rocket fuel capacity but after that you just need to 'install' all rocket fuel you find (up to a max of 50) by using the workbench but this does not require LP each time, only the initial purchase of the ability does.

They are pretty useless anyway. Even a pixel of fuel enough to nullify fall damage.

True. I think retrorockets saved me one time when I wasn't paying attention. Let's say two times to be on the safe side.

I\m almost level 50 and regularly get one shot by skull mobs, landing is the least of my problems :).
