Grav engine
The ultratech heart of a gravship. The grav engine generates lift by inverting and intensifying the effect of gravity in a field around itself. This engine can lift upwards, but does not produce forward thrust. It can't function far from a large gravity well like a planet, so it is useless for interplanetary travel. When launched, anything on substructure that's connected to the grav engine will be transported to a new map. Without a grav anchor, launching a gravship will abandon your current map. Glitterworld engineers use gravships to launch orbital platforms and build skyrippers. They require massive and hyper-specialized facilities to produce, making them a rare sight outside of glitterworlds.

Acquisition[edit]
A singular grav engine is obtained from a mechanoid ship that crashes onto the map after accepting a quest, alongside corpses of various Mechanoids, ship chunks, and a large quantity of gravlite panels.
Alternatively, one is included in the The Gravship starting scenario.
If the initial grav engine is lost, stolen, or destroyed, the gravship wreckage quest provides a map location in which a replacement may be fought for.
Summary[edit]
The core of the gravship, the grav engine is required for Gravship substructure to be placed as well as any accompanying structures. By default, it allows up to 500 substructure in a radius of 18.9 cells, however installing Grav field extenders allows up to 2000, with the maximum of six field extenders.
