not possible to make 5 point engines, not capable in SE, well, could be possible with a script, but then think it would be a magic block
nukeguard  [author] Nov 13, 2022 @ 11:52am 
the ions are so negligible in atmos it doesn't matter
Erikan39 Nov 11, 2022 @ 11:21am 
And 3) Shouldn't the Ion Thrusters not work at full percent in atmosphere?
And 4) It seems like the Hydrogen thruster model is slightly offset forward?
Erikan39 Nov 10, 2022 @ 10:28pm 
1) chance of adding Atmo versions?
I wanted to make a little hover bumper car,
but Ion Thrusters have Thruster Component which are a little expensive for a cheap hover car, and Hydrogen needs hydrogen which I'd be fine with but the piping would take up a lot of space

And 2) Is it possible to make a 5 pointed RCS block? Instead of having to use a convayer block and 5 of these? Or do blocks only allow one thrust direction?

yes, you may Siv

Heya, can I tinker with this and upload it for my server (unlisted) ?
nukeguard  [author] Jul 7, 2022 @ 4:21pm 
yes, you may

May I repack this to unlisted server mod for adjustments?

I guess that video wasn't on my channel, I don't have a video, thanks for letting me know

Hi, thanks for your mods. The video for this mod is marked as private?

Also, I have a feedback on keen's support that requests the addition of a thrust-limiting slider, so that one can limit a thruster to some percentage of it's max potential, like real world thrusters (excepting solid fuel of course).

https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/24187-for-all-thruster-blocks-the-ability-to-limit-thrust-from-0-to-max

I also have another one that requests a small, weak rcs thruster block that can apply thrust in up to 5 directions, also like rw ones. Our suits can do it, so obviously the game engine can handle the concept.

https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/23248-space-engineers-needs-rcs-thrusters

Feedback's on keen need a threshold voting value of 50, I think, before keen will consider them, and there's no limit to how many items you can 'vote' for.
nukeguard  [author] Apr 24, 2022 @ 10:00am 
well, guess I need to revisit and adjust since I think they adjusted power
Metallumere Apr 23, 2022 @ 11:35pm 
I can also confirm that the fuel consumption is wrong. I fixed it by just adding an additional 0 to the MaxPowerConsumption decimal of the hydrogen thrusters. Also the inventory icon is a door... for some reason.

Really nice mod though, it's surprisingly difficult finding something that adds smaller thrusters for large ships. Trying to make compact large grid builds is difficult with small engines being as big as they are, these fit far better!
nukeguard  [author] Sep 7, 2020 @ 6:05pm 
something has definitely changed then with fuel use
jackryan529 Sep 7, 2020 @ 2:28pm 
they burn through a whole tank of Hydro in 3 seconds.. that's not good.
AngelMarc Dec 9, 2019 @ 12:13pm 
will do, thx, not sure what happen, was working fine and suddenly got this criticals, possible after some update for SE
just reporting, as i see most people dont do that
nukeguard  [author] Dec 8, 2019 @ 4:14pm 
AngelMarc, I do believe those three mods you have left that same comment error on, it is likely that they failed to download or downloaded corrupted, try and delete those three you have an error with and redownload, also try and sub/unsub

Ya know, maybe I'll redesign them a bit, fit the hydro type to cover the port, and make the ion type round.
Animus Oct 26, 2019 @ 12:18pm 
Nuke, any way I could convert these to round versions, like Darth Biomech's? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=391667552
nukeguard  [author] Aug 24, 2019 @ 6:32pm 
these are not OP, they barely have any thrust
xterrylorakhx Aug 23, 2019 @ 8:05am 
Please make a version that is not OP? Thanks. Love the models.
nukeguard  [author] Jul 25, 2019 @ 7:07am 
Thank you!
Planewalker Jul 24, 2019 @ 3:00pm 
Nice and concise mod; kudos!
matthewvogt Apr 4, 2019 @ 8:51am 
oh and this mod is working great
Skallabjorn Jan 2, 2019 @ 8:12pm 
ah kk
nukeguard  [author] Jan 2, 2019 @ 7:56pm 
that is intended
Skallabjorn Jan 1, 2019 @ 3:28pm 
Only thing i would do is I noticed the hydrogen RCS when idle is the ion blue....
nukeguard  [author] Jan 1, 2019 @ 2:36pm 
Nice you both found this mod!
-₪EPIC₪- Fail Jan 1, 2019 @ 1:26pm 
I was just thinking yesterday... "man, my small ship eats so much hydrogen just sitting here." then while looking through somone elses collection at a whim I find this! Nice! :cozyspaceengineersc:
Skallabjorn Jan 1, 2019 @ 9:51am 
I love these lil guys, they are perfect :)
ᐺ ᗩ ᒪ ᗩ ᖽᐸ Oct 19, 2018 @ 6:33am 
Could you not make an OP version?
nukeguard  [author] Oct 18, 2018 @ 10:59am 
these are the smallest variation of thrusters, and I would prefer someone not 'just make a OP version' without permission
ᐺ ᗩ ᒪ ᗩ ᖽᐸ Oct 18, 2018 @ 9:08am 
Could some make a OP version?, Even though its immersion breaking these are possibly the smallest varient of thruster I've found yet
nukeguard  [author] Jan 28, 2018 @ 12:52pm 
fixed the bug with build functional level
McCloud Jr Jan 27, 2018 @ 4:25pm 
That bug is still there the functional line is at the very bottom being UNABLE to use it
Starry Jan 14, 2018 @ 10:13pm 
its so fucking weak, please increase the power by even a little bit
nukeguard  [author] Jan 7, 2018 @ 1:32pm 
hmm, thought I uploaded a fix for that bug
McCloud Jr Jan 7, 2018 @ 11:19am 
Says it is incomplete even when placed in Creative Mode
nukeguard  [author] Aug 4, 2017 @ 9:03am 
all block files are in cubeblocks.sbc
you have to search for one of the thrust definitions
C4PTRAMPAGE Aug 4, 2017 @ 7:33am 
ok i have the issue that i cant find the sbc file for the thrusters. umm that killed my excitement...
C4PTRAMPAGE Aug 4, 2017 @ 7:24am 
whoo! overpowered is underrated!!!
C4PTRAMPAGE Aug 4, 2017 @ 7:21am 
thx
nukeguard  [author] Aug 4, 2017 @ 6:44am 
modify this line <SlowdownFactor>10</SlowdownFactor> the higher the number the faster the slowdown
C4PTRAMPAGE Aug 4, 2017 @ 6:27am 
so i could make a thruster that has no normal thrust but extream dampining? awesome! i'm starting to get into modding and i dont have stuff that can edit dds correctly (it was hard enough just to find anything that could open dds at all) and have no idea how to do anything with moddels, but code, that i can mess with! *cracks knuckles* "alright, time to destroy some game balancing!" :steamhappy:
nukeguard  [author] Aug 4, 2017 @ 5:03am 
yes, that is definitely possible
C4PTRAMPAGE Aug 4, 2017 @ 2:57am 
is there a way to set this up so that its normal thrust is the same as it is now but that dampining is stupidly overpowered?
nukeguard  [author] Jun 8, 2017 @ 12:28am 
they have all the same tags as the normal thrusters, not sure why they are doing this
Giant Metal Devil Jun 7, 2017 @ 9:38pm 
I've noticed the same thing. The thrusters don't obey the Realistic Sound profile and just pump loud noise
Engi Jan 13, 2017 @ 6:44pm 
Oh and a full block depth version with conveyor ports on 5 sides so we can have 3 of them facing 3 directions in a very tight space. Basically fit them where the two H thrusters are in this picture and if the design calls for it you could have 3 there facing 3 different directions.

Here's a little recon drone I made with these so that it can fit into a large block parking space attached to a rotor. It is balanced as well regarding thruster forces.

Great mod. Thank you
Engi Jan 13, 2017 @ 1:12am 
@nukeguard thank you for adding in the thruster component for ion. Have you considered a sloped block for ion and a hydrogen with two conveyor ports?
