== Questbook ==

The Better Questing quest tab for rockets, "Space Race", unlocks upon completing the [[IV]] Circuits and [[HV]] Assembling Machine quests in the [[HV]] quest tab. It contains the progression for rocket tiers, space survival systems, and rocket fuels, starting with a quest to craft the NASA Workbench.

⚫

== Crafting a Tier 1 Rocket ==

⚫

=== NASA Workbench ===

⚫

The NASA Workbench is used to make rockets and other Galacticraft vehicles. Notable crafting components used to make the NASA Workbench include an [[HV]] Assembling Machine, 2 [[IV]] [[Circuits]], 3 [[EV]] Circuits, [[Energetic Alloy]] frame boxes, and 6 Nether Star Plates (requiring 9 [[Nether Star|Nether Stars]] for a Block of Nether Star).

⚫

=== Implosion Compressor ===

⚫

The [[Implosion Compressor]] is required to craft Galacticraft compressed metal plates, which are used in rockets and oxygen systems.

=== Storage Rockets ===

⚫

In the T1 Rocket craft, there is an optional slot below the rocket control computer to add a copper, iron, or gold chest into (these recipes are also available in [[NEI]]). This will add storage space to the rocket, but it will not be detected by the T1 Rocket quest in the Space Race tab. These can be converted to the normal rocket in a crafting grid.

== Space Travel ==

Line 64:

Line 53:

Upon selecting a destination, the destination will be loaded in, and the player will descend riding some form of a Lunar Lander (Parachute, Lunar Lander, Landing Balloons, etc.). For the [[Moon]], the player must press space to expend fuel and slow down the Lunar Lander to a descent rate slower than -20m/s to prevent an explosive crash landing. Upon landing, the player can exit the Lander by sneaking. The Lunar Lander will hold the rocket (with its fuel) and launchpads, used for a return flight. Punch to break it like a boat.

=== ~~Departure~~ Checklist ===

=== Moon Travel Checklist ===

* [[Moon Travel Checklist]]

* Equipment

** All your [[Oxygen Guide|oxygen gear]] - 3 light tanks at least, 4 recommended, for trips from your moon base.

*** Moon monsters can occasionally drop extra tanks

** Night Vision

*** The nights are LONG and dark; each phase of the moon lasts an overworld day; new moon marks the start of the night and full moon marks the start of the day. The Without Dying... quest tab has options, including the Bat Adventure Backpack, Night Vision Goggles, [[EnderIO]] Dark Steel Armor, or [[Thaumcraft]] Goggles of Revealing

** At least 16 stacks of light sources (more if you do not use automated miners)

*** [[Galacticraft]] glowstone torches or other non-vanilla torch light source

*** [[Ztones]] lamps are also good

** Food - Healing Axe or ~8 stacks of Tin Cans

** Weapons (A sword to break webs inside the dungeon)

** Repair materials

** Tool station

** Good armor, you'll have to go into the dungeon there at some point

** Armor repair

** Movement options (Mantle of the Raven, Coal Jetpack, Electric Jetpack, Copter, Hang Glider, Boots of the Traveller)

** Enough fuel to run miners and jetpacks

** [[Witchery]] Waystones

⚫

== Crafting a Tier 1 Rocket ==

* Base components

**An oxygen collector

** An oxygen compressor

** Some oxygen tubes to get the oxygen from the collector to the compressor

*** Note that if you bring LOX you will ''still'' need an oxygen collector/compressor to transfer it to your tanks

** A couple stacks of sheared leaves, to collect oxygen

** A power source

*** Galacticraft machines use TINY amounts of power, just bring a couple fully-charged large lithium batteries and you'll be fine for a LONG damn time

** Storage

*** Compressed chests are good for bringing back loot, or get lots of backpacks.

*** Also bring some throwaway chests for garbage loot you might want to bring back later.

** Oxygen bubble distributor, if you intend to set up a long-term base there

** Glowstone torches, HV monster repellator to keep 40 block radius around moon base clear (even without power), or a magnum torch

⚫

=== NASA Workbench ===

* Mining outpost components

⚫

The NASA Workbench is used to make rockets and other Galacticraft vehicles. Notable crafting components used to make the NASA Workbench include an [[HV]] Assembling Machine, 2 [[IV]] [[Circuits]], 3 [[EV]] Circuits, [[Energetic Alloy]] frame boxes, and 6 Nether Star Plates (requiring 9 [[Nether Star|Nether Stars]] for a Block of Nether Star).

** MV miner

*** Better to bring HV - covers more area, and also can recharge your nanosuit!

*** Don't forget: generator, chunk loader, mining pipes, output chests.

*** Stop when they hit a vein or reach Y 50, collect small meteoric iron

** Hand prospector or seismic prospector + incidentals. Digging on vein centers is so LV era!

⚫

=== Implosion Compressor ===

* Return trip

⚫

The [[Implosion Compressor]] is required to craft Galacticraft compressed metal plates, which are used in rockets and oxygen systems.

** Parachute

** A fuel loader and canisters of fuel, to get yourself back

** A few cells of fuel-just in case. Bring a few empty ones to empty the extra fuel out of your rocket.

** Plenty of storage to take all your ores and stuff back with you (Spectral Key is going to be gated with titanium) - Keep the tuft, dirt, and rock for centrifuging

=== Storage Rockets ===

⚫

In the T1 Rocket craft, there is an optional slot below the rocket control computer to add a copper, iron, or gold chest into (these recipes are also available in [[NEI]]). This will add storage space to the rocket, but it will not be detected by the T1 Rocket quest in the Space Race tab. These can be converted to the normal rocket in a crafting grid.

* Setup base with walls around landing location - will be same in the future.

* Setup lighting and monster repellator/magnum torch. For the servers, you will need to light up the area. Make sure you keep any monsters well away from your launchpad! A lightning infernal *can* destroy your rocket!

* Wall in an area large enough for a launchpad and other items like oxygen generators

* Build up walls. Make sure you put an anti-spider overhang. Lunar spiders can jump pretty high!

* Setup launchpad and fuel loader.

* Extract fuel and rocket from your lander. Place the rocket in safe place - obsidian chest for example. You can place the fuel in your fuel loader.

* Find and complete lunar dungeon. Pretty easy overall.

* Locate and harvest minerals

=== Returning home checklist ===

* Get at least 64 meteoric iron. Meteors hit the surface near players (anchors won't work). Find small meteoric iron ores between 50-70 height, mine manually or use an automated miner. You want at least enough for 64 meteoric iron for the T2 rocket. Medium air tanks take 21 meteoric iron apiece so if you want to upgrade, you will need at least another stack.

* Harvest the titanium and chrome from at least 1 vein, maybe more.

* Harvest bauxite and aluminium from at least 1 vein

* Harvest some neodymium (Can also get it from rare earths so not super important)

* Make sure you complete the dungeon quest appropriately. Dungeon blocks/key/blueprint/etc.<br />

The [[Rocket#~~Crafting_A_Tier_1_Rocket~~|NASA Workbench]] requires new schematics to craft higher tiers of rockets. These schematics are found in dungeons on planets in tier order. Tier 2 rocket schematics, for example, can be found in the reward room of Moon Dungeons. Dungeon entrances are deep holes on the surface that have unnatural brick blocks on the bottom.

Higher tiers of rockets require different kinds of [[Rocket Fuel|Rocket Fuels]].
