Hover Thrusters

Hover Thrusters are an engine Mod for holding a steady elevation over an extended period. That supports working above a large field without making the Mod a replacement for Skyblazer continuous flight. The current customization system separates tools, parts, modes, and the Mods added to them, so an engine Mod should not be mistaken for a new body appearance. The public release descriptions confirm the effect but leave the recipe and milestone unspecified. Historical fuel points describe the oil supply rather than a published hover duration. When planning a planting workflow, combine the elevation role with Seed Shooter upgrade information; do not infer a fixed number of planted mounds from a marketing screenshot or an assumed tank size.

Hover thrusters are the 1.0 engine mod for staying at one height while you seed or place parts, which is a different job from Skyblazer's continuous flight. The notes call it an engine mod that holds elevation. They skip the craft cost and the milestone, so both of those stay blank on this page. If a 0.8 guide tells you thrusters only exist as a boost you toggle while rolling, that is the older fuel rule. In 1.0 the empty tank still lets the mech walk, and this mod is the piece that keeps a steady hover once you have fuel enough to run engine extras. Use the fuel page for oil values and this page for the job the part does.
