Overview

In-game description
A thruster module salvaged from crashed satellite remains. The more fuel left in the satellite when it was brought down, the better its condition.

Salvage from orbit. The game text says thruster modules come out of crashed satellite remains, and that the more fuel the satellite still had when it came down, the better shape the module is in. It is new enough that the export has no Russian name for it yet.

The export lists nothing it goes into, so for now its value sits in the recycler. A green one returns 20 explosives, a red one 30, a yellow one 16. Twenty is exactly what one C4 takes, so a thruster in your bag is close to a free charge for the next raid. A worn module may give less, which is where that fuel line in the text matters.

The row also shows a recipe of 40 explosives, but the module cannot be crafted or researched at all, so it only comes from salvage or a trade. The aiming module mentions satellite control terminals, so more of this content may follow; keep an eye on the components list.

Recycling

Recycler

At power grid stage 2 a green recycler works at 60% instead of 50%. Yields depend on the recycler.
