Fuel optimizer

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 fuel consumed per tile travel by a gravship.

Acquisition[edit]

Fuel Optimizer cannot be built, and 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 Chemfuel −3. Up to two optimizers can affect a gravship at one time, reducing the chemfuel cost per tile from Chemfuel 10 to Chemfuel 4. Note that this does not affect the base take off cost of Chemfuel 50. In other words, the fuel consumption of the a gravship can be stated as follows:

Gravship base Chemfuel 50 or Chemfuel (World Tiles Traveled × 10), whichever is greater.
Gravship + 1× Fuel optimizer Chemfuel 50 or Chemfuel (World Tiles Traveled × 7), whichever is greater.
Gravship + 2× Fuel optimizer Chemfuel 50 or Chemfuel (World Tiles Traveled × 4), whichever is greater.
Passenger shuttle Chemfuel 50 or Chemfuel (World Tiles Traveled × 3), whichever is greater.

Analysis[edit]

Two Fuel Optimizers is enough to reduce the fuel cost to the point that a single Large chemfuel tank can support a full set of thrusters to travel the maximum possible distance.
