Title: Compressed Fuel Storage System
Post by: waresky on November 14, 2009, 07:56:40 AM
a damned strange artifact my engineer Rgt gave recover from Giclas 99-43 ruins..

Am send a transport for load and turn to Earth for further studys..

What damned it is?

It's a ruins only available tech.  If memory serves correctly, you can store something like 5x the fuel that a standard tank of the same mass/hull space will store.

Lucky you.  I had Compressed Fuel Storage in one of my early games and loved it.  I haven't had it since and miss it very much.

Cool:)) 75000 Lt fuel vs 50000..or more?..no problem,now am study it

How do I study this, it shows up at my Class Design, but can´t find in Research?? 125000 liters :D

When u found on a Ruins,u "disassemble" for studying.
Steve know better than me method.

Ok, so transporting it back to Sol and Earth was not the right move? :?

You have to finish the research where you disassembled it.
So unless your Labs are somewhere else, that was precisely the move you had to do.

Yes it should be a good move if your main research are done on earth. Drop it on earth, open production window, click stockpile then find your compressed fuel tank, dissassemble it, then go to your research window and find the new tech you just found, research build/add to your new ship

Perfectly!!! First time I do, I  got 100 reserch points to CFSS, but I cant find it and do standard research... :(

For tech like this (Precursor or Invader) you need to get enough points from disassembling to complete research to the first level.  So if CFSS required 5000RP* to research, you would still need another 4900RP from disassmbling components before it would appear as a research item.  You would then have CFSS level 1 available as a system to manufacture and you would then be able to research CFSS level 2 etc.  
*- I have no idea how many RP CFSS does require.

Amount Required: [spoiler:2w81aa6l]The compress Storage Tank require 1000Rp before appearing in the research list, i hope you got more you can disassemble[/spoiler:2w81aa6l]

Are there pre-requisites as I just dissembled 29 of them to get 29 messages of there was no new technology found when this item was dissembled. :cry:

Maybe you got an old version?
In 4.91, every single component had a chance of I think around ~2.5% to yield the tech.
As such, reload an old database.

If no new technology has been found it mean you already have it researched, i dont know if there is a *technology tree* for the compressed fuel storage. Go into design mode and see if you have it in your component list?

As you may have seen from the bugs list I did have the tech, just didn't know it :(

I cannot see any advances connected with compressed fuel storage in the logistics/ground combat research screen, where you normally research fuel storage.
