Hello Isotobe, thank you for your comment.
The Ship relys on roling the Ship first and the puling up to Turn. Therfor its importent to roll as quickly as posible. Think of it as a Fighter Jet from today. its uses its winglift and flaps to push up in this case the Tauro uses its imensly powerfull downward facing Thrusters.
Hope you have fun.

why is there 10 gyros on a ship so small ???

Hello DNBANB thank you for your comment. about the Problems connecting it to a connector: The Tauro hase great Forwar Up and back thrust. but not so great left right and down thrust. Try aproching the connector headon in a 90° angle then tur around 180° and use the back Cammera (Hotbar 2 Button 2) and aim on the left side of the Connector circle and fly slowly back. if you want to use the down connector fly over the connector. when its below your cockpit switch to the down Camera (Hotbar 2 Button 5) Aim below the Connector and fly down

Great looking design and well laid out. Only issue I'm having is the lack of control over the ship. I can sometimes get it steady but landing it on a connector is next to impossible for me....any tips...

Check if the grid has Power if not Built a smal Battery. conveyers dont work without power.
Dilbert Oct 9, 2019 @ 9:29am 
is there a way to check if all the conveyors are built without completely disassembling? i cant get my hydro tanks to fill. ive tried everything in the comments. so my last idea is a conveyor is finished.

Hi Christopher, try turning the entire grid off and on again by pressing y make sure it wont fall down. Try puting the Engien on and off
you need to put Ice in Both h2 generators
Hope that helps

hi! I have a problem to load Hydrogen... engines aren`t working but i put a lot of ice...
DerMakrat  [author] Oct 1, 2019 @ 5:48am 
just a Update.i simplyfied the hotkey blocks and uploaded instruction pictures to refit the Tauro with a Turret. Have fun

By Using this methods and climbing to 5000 meters using only the atmospheric thrusters. The Tauro should achieve breaking free of the gravitational pull with only 16 % hydrogen fuel consumed.
DerMakrat  [author] Oct 1, 2019 @ 5:27am 
Regarding the question about the operational range. I built in some hotkeys to help increase the range and decrease fuel consumption. In the first hotkey block you can press the 3 Button to deactivate all front facing thrusters. This way the Pilot dose not have to keep pressing forward constantly to hold the velocity.This greatly reduces fuel consumption because you don't have to constantly accelerate and can let the ship just glide. Breaking free of the Gravity of a Planet you can use 2 other features to reduce fuel consumption. The cruise mode deactivates half the thrusters. Go to the 3. Hotkey Block and Press 3. The second feature is the manual thrust calibration.On the 3. Hotkey Block Press 1 or 2 to increase and decrease the thrust of the rear hydrogen thrusters. As the Tauro climbs in altitude the Gravitational Pull gets less. By holding the velocity of 100 m\s and reducing the thrust But still holding velocity. you can reduce fuel consumption.

Hello again Seren, thank you for your feedback. First regarding the question about Ion thrusters. designing the Tauro i tried to reduce the dead weight of thrusters. Atmospheric and Ion -Thrusters only generate thrust in or out of atmosphere.The need for a fuel Effective thrust is the greatest in Atmosphere cause by the Gravitational Pull of the Planet. Therefor the need of Atmospheric Thrusters that can keep the crafts Altitude without the help of Hydrogen Thruster.
The Hydrogen consumption would be to great without them. In spacey with the exception of maneuvering, accelerating, decelerating and combat the need for Thurst is largely not existent for the majority of travel time. So not a huge need for Ion Thrusters. On Moons, they would be usefull. But the smaler Gravitational Pull make Hydrogen Thrusters Effective again.

haven't played in a while. but somehow i figured everything out, i think. you ship is awesome! took off into space with it. just...the hydrogen wont last too long. i dont know how long it takes to get away from earths gravity (its really annoying). so i was thinking about replacing the atmospheric thruster with ion thrusters. i dont know how long it would take to get to any asteroid with possible water and such. i dont even know if it's possible at all to get to other planets or anything. (i play survival with a star system) i really would like to encounter other space stations and find raw materials such as plutonium (was it?)
thx for yuor caring response!

Thank you all for 1000 subscriptions :) Check out my new creations "Idris" Interplanetary Mining Ship MK 1.1

If the start energy of the Batteries is drained you can't use the conveyor system of the ship. Build a small Battery somewhere on the Hull Get and the ice into the h2/o2 Generators. The start energy of the battery should be sufficient to start you h2/o2 energy production.

Let me know if you need help with anithing else
DerMakrat  [author] Sep 20, 2019 @ 12:33am 
Hello thank you for your question and sorry for the late response. You will need to put ice into both h2/o2 Generators. Mine some ice with you hand drill. Use a connector by pressing F navigate to the H2/o2 Generators on the right side of the screen. You can type in generators in the search bar.Then drop the ice from your Inventory to the h2/o2 Generators Inventory. You have to put ice in both to fuel the hydrogen engiene. You will need around 100.000kg of ice to fill the hydrogen tanks and charge the batteries. the charging time will take 150 minuntes. I would suggest building a base first to charge the Tauro on the large grid h2/o2 generators and get a second energy sauce like solar panels ore wind turbines. To reduce the charging time.

this is awesome! but...i'm a newbe...could you please tell me how i can tank/refill the ship? i am still figuring many things out in this game :D
DerMakrat  [author] Sep 10, 2019 @ 1:07pm 
Thank you I hope you like the handling too :)

Nice ship Bro

That looks cool
