A '''small thruster''' is a building added by the [[Odyssey DLC]] that increases a [[gravship]]’s world-map range and improves launch ritual quality.

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
Small thrusters add 10 tiles max travel distance to a gravship. This means that a gravship using the maximum number of small thrusters (4) can travel 40 tiles using 400 chemfuel.

== Summary ==
{{Image wanted|section=1|reason=Exclusion zone}}
A gravship can mount up to four small thrusters. They must sit on connected [[gravship substructure]] within the build radius of a working [[grav engine]] or [[grav field extender]] to function.

Each small thruster allows a gravship to travel an additional {{+|10}} tiles on the world map, up to a maximum of {{+|40}} tiles will all four. Range stacks additively with [[large thruster]]s, which provide {{+|16}} tiles each up to a maximum of six large thrusters, for a theoretical maximum of '''136''' tiles with all 10 thrusters. Every tile traveled consumes {{Icon Small|Chemfuel||10}} [[chemfuel]], so a max-range jump with six large and four small thrusters burns 1360 chemfuel — almost two full large chemfuel tanks. Note that cost can be reduced with [[fuel optimizer]]s.

=== Launch ritual quality ===
During the launch ritual each small thruster contributes {{+|1%}} quality, up to a maximum of {{+|4%}} with four small thrusters. These bonuses stack additively with other quality bonuses, including those from [[large thruster]]s. Higher ritual quality shortens the relaunch cooldown and lowers the mishap chance on landing. See the [[Gravship#Launch ritual quality|Gravship]] page for full details.

=== Exclusion zone ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=What blocks the thruster is currently unclear - substructure and coolers and walls do, some other buildings and trees don't. May be impassible buildings and substructure?}}
The small thruster's exclusion zone (1ˣ5 white rectangle) is visible when the thruster is selected, or when placing the thruster blueprint. Any gravship substructure and impassible buildings{{Check Tag|Verify}} will block the engine and prevent its bonuses from applying to the gravship. The exclusion zones of several thrusters may overlap, so long as the thruster buildings themselves aren't in any of the zones. So long as the exclusion zone is clear, they will function, even if they are enclosed by walls or pointing in opposite directions.
