Rocket Boost 1.3
Bubbles and butterflies are fine and dandy. But there comes a day when you want something more, something fast, something life threatening dangerous! And to quench your thirst for danger, my friend, I offer you the Rocket Boost!
Danger has never been this fun! With your very own Rocket Boost you'll soar through the clear skies leaving a trail of fiery hell in your wake.

Controls
Since version 1.3, the rockets now have two speeds, top speed and maneuver speed. You can toggle between them by pressing the F key.
The top speed consumes a fair amount of energy, while the maneuver speed consumes exactly half as much.
The only rocket that, so far, doesn't feature this is the Mk1, but I can add it if anyone requests it.
How to install and use
Just extract the folder "Rocket Boost 1.2.zip" and place it in the mods directory "Starbound/mods", simple as that.
The mod is compatible with tabula rasa.
The recipe should be available in the robotic crafting table. It costs only 1 pixel in this first version, for testing purposes, but in a later update I'll put proper materials and tier.
If it doesn't show up for you, please tell.
Plans for the future.
Phase One
Phase two
- Different recipes for survivalists and testers.
- Rockets backpacks that show up on your back when you use the tech.
- Tiered rocket boosters, more dangerous each tier!
- Tiered animations displaying the power of each rocket boost!
- Directional animation so that the origin flame points to every direction properly.
- Completely new items to craft your rockets!
- Different sounds for each tier of rocket power. So you can hear the danger.
- More danger.
- Rocket based items!
- Rocket powered weapons
- Rocket powered armor
- Rocket powered tools
- Rocket powered furniture
- Rocket powered food
- More danger.
Incinerating Bugs.
This is my first complex mod, and god knows how much it beat me to a pulp until I finally got it working. If you experience any bug or crash or anything really, please report back, preferably with a pastebin link to your starbound.log file, so that I can examine the problem and try to fix it. It will help me a lot. Thank you.
