Lunar Landings


A small overhaul which expands the factory onto Nauvis' moon: Luna. Launch reusable rockets to and from Luna at mid-game. Process moon rock into silicon (for circuitry) and oxygen (for diffusing to nearby machines). Generate research data from telescopes, and conserve water from turbines using steam condensers. Unlock advanced aluminium smelting processes and a unique late-game quantum challenge... Compatible with 2.0. Not yet compatible with Space Age: expected by July-August 2025.

g Used rocket parts staying on home planet

1 year, 2 months ago

so I am sending a rocket to Luna. A Luna landing pad i placed there. I was expecting the used rocket parts to be on the landing pad, not the rocket silo on Nauvis. Is this the intended gameplay or a bug?

The behaviour you’re seeing is correct. When rockets launch irl, most of it falls back to earth. In the case of LL, it is more like SpaceX’s ships where they have controlled landing for reuse. I just haven’t implemented an animation for re-landing yet.
