The following page is currently in the process of being created, is undergoing a major structural rework and/or is being moved.
The reason for this is: "This page is not finalized"


FTL Manifold.gif Thirring Drive Manifold Instructions

  • Pylon Control:
  1. Contains information about the various Pylons linked to the machine
  2. Toggle Power: Activates/Deactivates the Linked Pylon, starting to spin it up
  3. Close Shield: Makes the Blast Shields close down around the Pylon, protecting you from electrical shocks at the cost of increased nucleium draw.
  • Manifold Controls:
  1. Spool Drive: I don't know, makes the thingies go zoom and charges the FTL.
  2. Enable Autospool: Self-explanatory.

  • FTL Pylons use nucleium and a handful of power, as a treat, to spin up.
  • Keeping pylons spinning will increase their power draw, and if they are closed it will instead increase their nucleium draw.
  • When the pylons are spinning the FTL manifold (main drive) goes zoomie mode
  • So in short: spin up the pylons before spooling the FTL, and it will charge a *lot* faster, after that you turn the pylons off again to avoid creating a power sink.
  • We must construct additional pylons (the max amount per drive is four)
  • If there is not enough Nucleium being pumped into the FTL Pylon then it will start spooling down, eventually shutting down.
