Fuel optimizer
A gravtech unit that allows grav engine lift to coordinate more efficiently with traditional thrusters. It reduces the fuel needed for gravship flight. A gravship can support two fuel optimizers.

The fuel optimizer is a building added by the Odyssey DLC that reduces the amount of chemfuel consumed per world tile travelled by a gravship.
Acquisition[edit]
Fuel optimizers cannot be built. They can only be acquired through Odyssey-related quests and locations discovered with the orbital scanner.
Summary[edit]
Fuel optimizers can be placed anywhere within on the gravship. Each fuel optimiser reduces the chemfuel required per tile traveled by the gravship by 
−3. Up to two optimizers can affect a gravship at one time, reducing the chemfuel cost per tile from 10 to 4. Note that this does not affect the minimum take off cost of 50. In other words, the fuel consumption of a gravship can be stated as follows:
| Gravship base | 50 or (World Tiles Traveled × 10), whichever is greater.
|
|---|---|
| Gravship + 1× Fuel optimizer | 50 or (World Tiles Traveled × 7), whichever is greater.
|
| Gravship + 2× Fuel optimizer | 50 or (World Tiles Traveled × 4), whichever is greater.
|
| Passenger shuttle | 50 or (World Tiles Traveled × 3), whichever is greater.

Analysis[edit]
While fuel optimizers are not strictly necessary, as chemfuel is renewable and not difficult to farm, they can save significant amounts of chemfuel and thus colonist time. They primarily appear in "gravship upgrade" loot piles, so it is likely that fuel optimizers will be obtained if looking for gravship upgrades in general.
Two fuel optimizers is enough to reduce the fuel cost to the point that a single large chemfuel tank can support the maximum possible travel distance.
