Bringing it back - Solid Fuel

[Arggers]

I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but also believe we've all recognised there's an issue with Solid Fuel here.....except GI. So, using @Navigata07 's suggestion, I thought I'd collate ideas here, so I can point at them to GI.

I'd be interested in the forum's ideas on how to make Solid Fuel more relevant...as it stands there's no real benefit to keeping Cosmic Fuel Stations, except for helping out neighbours.

Here's a couple of mine - I'm sure they've been mentioned before.

Make the reset timer quicker - 30 mins perhaps?
Make them more valuable to points in the launch?
Develop a conversion building - xx Solid Fuel = yy aircraft fuel or zz PEBs

Please feel free to add your own!

I love the conversion idea, which pairs very well with my idea of a new Aerospace Laboratory. Here is the thread for those interested in learning more about it:

Or maybe if solid fuel was combined with another fuel type on the list then the points are doubled?

How would you combine them?

 

[Chazzy999]

How would you combine them?

Click on one of the other fuels, then the solid fuel would need to able to be clicked on afterwards and if you do, then the combination of the two doubles the points.

Oh ok.

I think green prep are not difficult to obtain. So, you can have a lot of green prep.
Having more than 100 solid fuel allows you to join a lot of launch with only 12 points. Of course, you will not be captain, nor 2nd/3rd place, but you will be able to earn some token/coins/fuel for a little of ressources !

For me, spacesuits and treadmills are a pain in the backside to complete.

You just need to go to Cap Canaveral to have spacesuit ! I have to confess that, since I have stone castle, I do not have any problem to have Treadmills !

Totally agree. One stone castle and never worry about treadmills again.

The odd alliance task to Cape Canaveral helps with the rest!

I mentioned this a couple of years ago how solid fuel in a conversion building to create PEB would be great

You can join a launch with zero points and still get token / coins / fuel --- I've been fortunate to take third a couple of times with zero points and on rocket I started someone took second on it with zero points.

Congratulations..... Next update, treadmill will be gone from stone castle.....

Is this a fact or speculation?

You do remember the Incredible Golden Dice?
I bought it once in every 2 days.......
Why? Its magic....
After 5 years, they call it bug....
5 years.......
We dont know it is fact or speculation.......

Hm...True. I hope it's just pure speculation or a conspiracy theory I put NOTHING past them now. I just hope 72 greenies on Stone Castles doesn't go to waste...it'll for sure make me wary of buying any building's requiring greenies again for them to claim years later it's a bloody bug

Yes, you're right ! I prefer put in 12 points than nothing ! But it is almost the same !

Sometimes it launches before you can get any points in!

It never happened to me ! But it is rather a good thing ah ah !
