| − | 2023 December patch overhauled the rocket system. Instances of the old modular rocket disappeared when loading old saves.
| + | All moved to [[Rocketry]] main page. |
| − | | |
| − | The new system is even more modular that the old system. Under the old system you started with an engine and fuel tanks, and then added mining and storage modules and capped it off with a control nose cone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The new system still has a vertical stack, but you have to arrange discrete components like fuel tanks, wiring, chutes, and pipes inside a grid within the rocket.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Before you even get started, you will need to make a [[Rocket Manufactory]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Building the Base Station ==
| |
| − | You need a [[Computer]] with a [[Rocket Control Motherboard]] attached to a [[Logic Uplink]] tuned to the [[Logic Rocket Downlink|downlink]] component on the rocket.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A [[Launch Mount]] must be built on a set of 4 ([[Steel Frames|steel]] or [[Iron Frames|iron]]) frames.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Add enough [[Launch Tower]] parts to support umbilicals corresponding to each of your umbilical sockets (Power, Gas|Liquid, Chute). Leave 2 metres between the rocket and the tower so the umbilicals have room. Warning: retract your umbilicals before launching.

| − | == Building the Rocket ==

| − | | |
| − | ===Propulsion system===
| |
| − | * [[Engine Mount]]. This must be built on the Launch Mount.
| |
| − | * Some kind of engine: [[Pressure Fed Gas Engine]], [[Pumped Gas Engine]], [[Pressure Fed Liquid Engine]] or [[Pumped Liquid Engine]]
| |
| − | * One or more [[Fuselage]]s for fuel tanks
| |
| − | * One or more fuel tanks matching your engine: [[Special:MyLanguage/Kit (Rocket Gas Fuel Tank)|Gas Capsule Tank Small]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Kit (Rocket Gas Fuel Tank)|Gas Capsule Tank Medium]], [[Liquid Capsule Tank Small]] or [[Liquid Capsule Tank Medium]]
| |
| − | * [[Umbilical Socket (Gas)]] or [[Umbilical Socket (Liquid)]] depending on your engine
| |
| − | * [[Kit (Pipe)]] or [[Kit (Insulated Pipe)]] for connecting the fuel tanks and engine
| |
| − | Gas-fuelled rockets use a 2:1 [[Volatiles]]:[[Oxygen]] mixture. You can fit about 30,000 moles of gas in a medium capsule tank.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Power payload system===
| |
| − | * One or more [[Fuselage]]s
| |
| − | * One or more [[Battery (Medium)]]
| |
| − | * [[Umbilical Socket (Power)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Scanning payload system===
| |
| − | In order to map space you will need a rocket with the following:
| |
| − | * One or more [[Fuselage]]s
| |
| − | * [[Rocket Scanner]]
| |
| − | * [[Rocket Scanner Head]] (this is a consumable)
| |
| − | You do not need to put these on the same rocket as your mining equipment. Keeping them separate will allow you to map and mine separately.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Mining payload system===
| |
| − | * One or more [[Fuselage]]s
| |
| − | * [[Umbilical Socket (Chute)]]
| |
| − | * [[Rocket Miner]]
| |
| − | * [[Rocket Mining-Drill Head]] (this is a consumable)
| |
| − | * One or more [[Cargo Storage (Small)]] or [[Cargo Storage (Medium)]]
| |
| − | Use [[Chute]]s to connect your miner to the storage and the storage to the umbilical socket.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Guidance system===
| |
| − | * [[Logic Rocket Downlink]]
| |
| − | * [[Rocket Avionics]] (must be built or the rocket will not even show up on the computer)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Rocket top===
| |
| − | * [[Fairing]] on the top
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Note===
| |
| − | Important: You do not have to build all of the systems from scratch and/or separately: you can combine parts of the payload and guidance system into the same Fuselages to optimize and keep the rocket as small as possible.
