Vacuum Cells– Buoyancy control!
As seen on Wrong Way Out!
Float like a balloon, soar like an airship! (or sink like a submarine)
Vacuum Cells provide lift using pure buoyancy, letting your ships rise effortlessly without thrusters or fuel. Instead of burning propellant, these cells naturally provide lift, keeping you afloat in planetary atmospheres (and underwater).
How They Work:
Buoyancy-Based Lift – Vacuum cells generate just the right amount of force to counteract gravity. Mass Matters – Heavier ships need more Vacuum cells to stay afloat. Centre of Mass – The Vacuum cells apply their force at the average position so make sure to balance the craft. Control – Vacuum cells don't work like normal thrusters they always provide force in the up direction regardless of orientation, They also disable ship dampers in the direction axis of the arrows so keep that in mind when building. Pressing C or Space will cause the grid to sink or lift but they wont stop once they get moving so manual counteraction is required. Info – The thrust override slider will show how much the Vacuum Cells total lift is used so keep an eye on it
NEW -15/2/26 added water mod compatibality so vacuum cells can be used underwater and behave like balast
