The universe is big. It’s vast and complicated. Then why going from one edge to another only costs you 100 fuel?! Fret not! This mod aims to fix that.

The higher fuel cost is accounted to the amount of energy the FTL engine uses to travel long distance. The game doesn’t show us actually travelling in normal way (which would benefit from inertia), but always in "jump to hyperspace" way.

Gameplay-wise, this mod also makes you plan your space travel and puts that Mechanic crew[starbounder.org] (fuel cost decrease bonus) to some use!

Features

  • Far away systems cost more fuel;
  • Closer systems cost cheaper than farther systems;
  • Fuel cost accounts for ship size.
    The bigger your ship (ship upgrades), the costlier the travel;
  • Your fuel hatch now can store up to 10000 fuel.

Mod is safe to install/uninstall at anytime.
Special thanks to AngleWyrm for helping me calculating the balance!

Doesn’t feel balanced? If you feel the cost is too expensive or too cheap, do let me know. 🙂
