Space Travel

Building Rockets

Building a rocket first requires constructing a Rocket Platform and adding modules from the menu. All rockets will require an engine, a nosecone and a Command Module piloted by a Duplicant possessing the Rocket Piloting skill or higher. Note that the Solo Spacefarer Nosecone functions as both a Command Module and a nosecone.

Space Travel

To scan space and see nearby intersteller destinations a Telescope must first be built on the surface of a Planetoid. Orbital Data Collection Lab in orbit around a Planetoid, and Cartographic Module attached to a rocket can also reveal places on a Starmap.Always check engine fuel to determine if your rocket can reach its destination, keeping in mind rockets can only land on Planetoids with a Rocket Platform on it although some modules like Rover's Modules and Trailblazer Modules can be sent to the surface of a Planetoid from a rocket in orbit.

Space Transport

Goods can be teleported between worlds with connected Supply Teleporters through Gas, Liquid, and Solid conduits.Planetoids not connected through Supply Teleporters can use rockets to transport goods, either by landing on a Rocket Platform or a Orbital Cargo Module deployed from a rocket in orbit.Additionally, the Interplanetary Launcher can send Interplanetary Payloads full of goods through space but must be opened by a Payload Opener. A Targeting Beacon can guide payloads and orbital modules to land at a specific location on a Planetoid surface.
