Midnight Drive Systems

Midnight Drive Systems is a non-tiered thruster mod with unique balancing and custom flames using Mexpex's Thruster FX framework.

It is the first of the three planned Midnight mods ready for release. It will likely receive both new content as well as updates to existing models or particles in the near future.

This mod is incompatible with VSI Recolorable Thrusters!

Alternative version that doesn't add any new blocks, just the FX: here.

---

• Hull thrusters, vanilla thrusters that look armored (fully sealed and airtight), but don't actually have any more health. Also comes in sloped variants, as well as a new "medium" variant of hydrogen thrusters.
  
• Overthrusters, which give twice the force of a standard thruster, but still uses a proportional amount of fuel/power. These are intended to be limited by a server's ruleset.
  
• Stealth thrusters, which have modified vanilla particle effects. This is for compatibility with the Stealth Drive mod, which does not hide Mexpex Thruster FX particles.

---

• Large-variant hydrogen thrusters are no longer useless as they are in vanilla and most mods. They now give more thrust than 9 small-variant thrusters.
  
• Ion thrusters have received both a direct thrust buff as well as a reduction to how much rare ingots thruster components cost, making them worth using even on warships.
  
• Atmospheric thrusters had the least changes, but were still slightly buffed overall.

If you're interested in the exact stats of all of the thrusters, use BuildInfo. I highly recommend always having this mod - it's even available as a plugin!

---

• Thruster burn ranges are turned down significantly with this mod.
  
• The particle FX in this mod were made specifically to work with Rendering Improved.
  
• Due to the nature of the particle FX there are no idle flames, and they tend to visually break when looked at head-on. I will try to look into a fix for both of these.
  
• All blocks currently lack LODs. This is intentional as thrusters with LODs have a tendency to simply not render; until this bug is fixed or a workaround is found there will be no LODs. No performance impact has been observed.

This includes Mod.io, do not reupload this mod to Mod.io. It won't work anyways, as the Mexpex Thruster FX Framework isn't on there.

The mod was made specifically for the Sojourn Rim community, which is a group of SE players centered mainly around an ongoing large scale survival scenario. We play plenty of other games too, and if you'd like to check out the community you can join the discord here: https://discord.gg/kK7pAVUB2v
