Astronautics (0.1)

Astronautics adds functional rocket engines to Create with real thrust, fuel, and control.

This is not just visual content. Engines actually generate force through Sable physics and can move contraptions.

Features in 0.1

• Rocket engine block
• Fuel system using UDMH and N2O4
• Internal fuel storage inside the engine
• Continuous fuel consumption while running
• Ignition system with startup time
• Real thrust output based on throttle and fuel

Control Panel

• Detects all engines in the same contraption
• Allows enabling and disabling engines
• Adjustable throttle per engine
• Rename engines for easier control
• Live status (fuel, ignition, thrust)

How it works

Engines require both fuel types to operate. When enabled, they go through an ignition phase and then start producing thrust. The amount of thrust depends on throttle and available fuel.

Fuel is automatically pulled from connected systems.

Notes

• No advanced UI features yet
• Physics is stable, dynamic mass is disabled for now

This is an early version focused on core mechanics. More features and visuals will be added later. Our discord: https://discord.gg/EDvKUtTN87
