Do I need a cosmic fuel station?

[ucaptain lole]

Hi All

Can someone please explain to me why i might need the cosmic fuel station? I read somewhere that without it you need to spend cash for launches. But I have not got one and do manage to start my own launches without spending greenies. I'm missing something I think.

Many thanks

Assuming you have plenty of neighbors with the right buildings to click no you don't need the cosmic fuel station as the fuel you get from them have very long usage time.

I'm guessing it was alot more useful back when they first came out but today they seem like more of a waste of space to be honest

You don't need but you will have a task and in that task is required to build the Cosmic fuel station.

Thanks Fencat

Oh, I've just cottoned on, the fuel station produces these?


I'd never noticed that fuel was needed for launches.

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

And once you build it, you can't get rid of it. Space hog!

No - cosmic fuel station produces solid fuel - for launches only. The majority of launch ready chests you get will contain solid fuel. (at least it seems that way) I have over 2300 of them now - without a cosmic fuel station. Other folks here have way, way more.

Yes,I did the same

Fuel supply is require for flights using Turboprop but not for space flights.

Wait what? I did managed to move it to inventory, somehow.
I agree it's useless, but unlike Duty Free, it can be stashed.

I did it the same, moved to Inventory.

Didn't think of putting on inventory so I stashed it to free room. As others said, when you first start with space missions, it's required for a task and it might be useful but with planétariums and other space buildings, you complete collections and get launch chests. In no time, you will be overflowing on Solid Fuel.

The first time I played (nearly 2 years ago), it wouldn't let me put it in inventory or sell it. Or it's possible I was thinking of Duty Free. When I restarted my game last December, I just never built one. Still have the task on the side.

You can gain some coins and experience by building it and completing the task. But you don't need it for launches.

Thanks guys. I got it anyway, though I seem to survive without it. Have to complete the task.... does this game make you OCD?

My biggest problem with launches is completing the Experiments in space collection. THe blue-green algae is so rare it seems, to get the notebook. I always click on the space buildings first when visiting and always use my visiting allowance every day, but I seem to get the algae only once a month or even two months. Any tips?

THanks again all.

I have 6, totally useless.....
But it is cool to have 6, since you will have an empty spaces in airport side.....
To have 6 means...... you are rich....

Yes, and then you probably have thousands of Solid Fuel in Warehose. Like me

 

[Kesh]

I have only one, but still have 5k + of solid fuel in the warehouse

Same here, would be nice to have a building, that you can import Solid Fuel and produce Large Fuel Tank, MS or PEB.... building with Level 1, 2 and 3.

or just that it drops any space fuel item in random ratio to space chest.

That would be great!

 

[Xilikon]

Agreed, that would be better even if it exclude the last 3 items which cost green.
