Humanoid's rocket propulsion systems pack

!!! MOD REQUIRES MATH'S ANIMATION ENGINE !!!

This mod supports mexpex's ThrusterFX framework, but it's purely visual and optional feature. If you want fancy particle effects for rocket thrusters put this in your mod list: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2844945145

This mod adds 9 unique blocks for both large grid and small grid, 25 new block models with animations, LODs and BS models, majority of them are thrusters.

In order to build these, a new production step was introduced by bringing you a brand new piece of heavy machinery - manufacturer block. This marvelous piece of engineering (and horrible 3d model) is required to make new type of components called "advanced components". These 3 new components - structural plating, turbopump and construction framework are made of multiple vanilla components combined. Keep in mind that manufacturer block can only make advanced components, you will still need a vanilla assembler to make vanilla parts.

Some thrusters have animated heat. This effect is purely visual and shouldn't affect your gameplay

Another big addition is a fusion reactor, fusion drive and fusion power cell system. These blocks will only work if connected to Fusion reactor properly and consume hydrogen as fuel - power cell converts it into power and fusion drive is a strong thruster for both atmospheric and vacuum flight. These blocks use your hydrogen supply much more efficiently than any other block in the game.

Finally, this pack includes reworked an slightly buffed versions of RCS thrusters and retractable thrusters from my other packs. They have different subtypeIDs and should not conflict with teach other, but it's still not recommended to use these mods together.


Full list of new blocks:

- Advanced components manufacturer - IS REQUIRED TO MAKE NEW PARTS, large grid only, animated production cycle
- S-4 RCS thruster (1x1) - 8 variants, both large grid and small grid
- R-01A "Sparrow" retractable thruster (1x2x2) - both large grid and small grid, is animated
- R-5 "Spark" rocket thruster (3x3) - 2 variants, small grid only, has animated heat
- R-20 "ZAC" rocket thruster (2x2) - LG only, has animated heat
- R-33 "Dragon" heavy rocket thruster (3x3) - 2 variants, large grid only, has animated heat
- R-70 "Falcon" heavy rocket thruster (5x5) - large grid only, has animated heat
- X-12 "Hius" Fusion drive (5x5) - REQUIRES FUSION REACTOR TO WORK, large grid only, has animated emissives
- Fusion Power Cell - REQUIRES FUSION REACTOR TO WORK, large grid only, has animated emissives
- Fusion Reactor - large grid only, animated, plays animation whenever it has access to hydrogen (due to technical reasons it's actually a thruster with 0 thrust)


The mod is still WIP since I'm planning to add even more blocks to it eventually. Also some models might get reworked as well.
