Prototech blocks are end-game blocks that were introduced in release 205. The Prototech Thruster is similar to a  Large Ion Thruster in function.

Usage

The Prototech Thrusters have the same functionality and usage as Ion Thrusters. It uses power and works best in space where it has extremely high acceleration with twice the thrust. In contrast to Ion Thrusters, it works in atmosphere with greater, but still reduced efficiency.

Construction

Prototech Thruster can be built on large grid and small grid. Being 3x3x8 LG blocks in size, the large grid Prototech Thrusters are the largest blocks in the game, consider that before placement. The small grid Prototech Thruster is also 3x3x8 blocks in size, making it considerably larger than any other thruster in both grid sizes. Being akin to an  Ion Thruster no Hydrogen is needed to power the Prototech Thruster, and thus it has no conveyor ports.

To place a Prototech block, you need 1  Prototech Frame in your inventory. You will need  Prototech Panels and other components to build it.
