The  Rocket is an ammunition item. Players need to have this ammunition in their inventory to be able to fire handheld RO-1 Rocket Launcher and PRO-1 Rocket Launcher. It is also the ammunition used for Rocket Turrets, Rocket Launchers, and Reloadable Rocket Launchers in ships. Rockets can only pass through large Conveyors.

Damage

If it's raw firepower you want, the Rocket does 500 explosion damage against blocks, which is less than a Warhead. Their advantage over a warhead is that you can fire them in a direction using launchers and turrets to aim them. Their downsides are that they are expensive to craft and that they take up a large volume in inventories. After being launched, they are unguided.

In the World Settings, you can choose whether you want to "Enable friendly missile damage": This means that the backsplash of Rockets can affect its own grid -- at the risk of destroying the launcher.

Trivia

This ammunition originally used to be called "200mm missile container", was then shortened to "Missile", and was finally renamed "Rocket" in Version 1.202.
