Carbon Dioxide Engine

Carbon Dioxide Engine

Uses pressurized Carbon Dioxide to propel rockets for short range space exploration.

Carbon Dioxide Engines are relatively fast engine for their size but with limited height restrictions.

Engine must be built via Rocket Platform.

Once the engine has been built, more rocket modules can be added.

Rockets can be used to send Duplicants into space and retrieve rare resources.
