What?
This mod introduces an intermediary step to rocket construction - the Rocket Assembly Kit. Rocket assembly kits have the same production cost and time as Rocket Parts, but are made in regular Assembling Machines. The Silo will construct Rocket Parts out of Rocket Assembly kits at a ration of 1 to 1.
Why?
I see Rockets as the trains of Space Age and Rocket Silos as the stations. As such, I wanted to simplify the "fuel" that rockets cost to operate down to just 1 part, but without simplifying the process of producing it. As such, you can build "what may as well be rocket parts" off-site and bring in just one type of cargo.
How?
This mod adds one new item (the Rocket Assembly Kit) and the recipe to make it (the same as for Rocket Parts). It changes the Rocket Part recipe to require Rocket Assembly Kits instead, and adds the Rocket Assembly Kit recipe to the Rocket Silo technology. That's about it.
