The Refueler is a structure used to refill the fuel reserves of nearby Ships and Jetpacks. It consumes **Natural Gas** and holds up to **500 liters** of fuel. Two non-gas-powered Refuelers are also found on Earth.

Cost & Input[]

  • **Factory cost:** 200 Metal units
  • **Input resource:** Natural Gas :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Appearance[]

Refuelers feature three color-coded pumps (red, green, blue). Beneath them is a green panel indicating:

  • Remaining fuel in liters
  • Access mode: public or private

Clicking toggles between public/private.

  • Earth-spawn** variants lack the green panel and instead charge **$0.80 per liter** without needing gas supply.

Functionality[]

  • Automatically refills any ship or jetpack in proximity
  • Holds a maximum of **500 L**
  • Requires connection to a Natural Gas source
  • Earth versions draw no gas and operate on microtransactions

When a vehicle enters range, it receives fuel until either the Refueler is empty or the vehicle is full.

Usage Tips[]

  • Place near your colony or mills
  • Connect to gas-rich supply lines (e.g. via a Pumpjack or Depot)
  • Keep public in multiplayer to support others
  • Critical infrastructure on planets lacking easy gas imports

Earth Variants[]

These built-in Refuelers:

  • Are pre-placed and non-moveable
  • They can refill automatically if there's natural gas - they can be connected to a Junction or a Depot,through the output.
  • Charge **$0.80 per liter**, ideal for beginners
