In this video I will be going over everything you need to know about the different types of thrusters in space engineers. I will cover the Pro's and Con's of each thruster type and I will also cover how you can work out how many thrusters you need to land on all the different planets in the game.

Thank you so much for this. I wish I had this guide years ago. My first ship had so many thrusters on it that I’m not sure if I was lifting off from the planet or pushing the planet away from me.

Large thrusters are more fuel efficient then the equivalent in small thrusters. For example the large grid large hydro is ~6.66x times as powerful as a large grid small hydro but only consumes 6x the fuel. A large grid Ion is ~12x as powerful as the small but only consumes 10X the energy. The main reason for going with large thrusters is the fuel/energy savings.

Clarification - the ratio between thrust and weight does matter in outer space as well. The more thrust per kilo you have the more quickly you can change your velocity (accelerate/decelerate). Of course, you're correct that the T/W ratio is much more important on planets.

I'm glad to see a video with the math behind it it's so hard to find this info as most people know by experience or guess. Thank you so much

I just got into SE, and not much into the YouTube side of it, but I truly believe that you are a pinnacle of what YouTubers should try to be, a concise no nonsense explanation, being understandable, and admitting your mistakes and acknowledging the ideas of your subs in the comments. 10/10 man I commend your great work

By far the absolute best thruster video and it being newer than 4 years old helps as well
-
I have used this video as a reference so many times. It's great work.
-
Super easy to understand and follow. Great explanations!
-
Well as we say in ksp in thrust we trust
-
love the interior ship design
-
i've learned so much important things, thank you
-
Really helpful, appreciate the video
-
Very NICE! I am a new Player and your videos are extremely helpful thank you
-
Great Tutorial! Thanks a lot!
-
This video is excellent. Thanks!
-
Gave me some great ideas thanks ☺️
-
I would also say that another con for atmospheric thrusters is that they are a high energy demand, because they only work on planets, you will always be fighting gravity to go any distance with them. Ions are better provided you can get to space and up to the speed you want to.

great video thanks for sharing

Great video!

one of the most underated videos on SE
