Is it going to be possible to manufacture the new pos fuel blocks at a pos?
I'm thinking that a lot of Wormholers have spent a lot of time and effort building up reserves of current pos fuel items, ice product and PI. Will they now have to haul it all out to a station and replace it with the new blocks?


I like the block Idea, it's going to same a ton of labour, it's just the change over that is a concern.

Did you actually read the devblog?

The four racial fuel blocks will be built in batches of four in all stations, plus starbase ammo assembly arrays


So, yes.

I think that the POS Tower itself should have a fuel-block manufacturing ability.
Why do i need a goddamn ammunition assembly array? It costs isk. It wastes CPU/PG. It wastes space.

So much whining... an ammo array doesn't have to be onlined all the time, just when you feel you want to make fuel.
if you can't afford the 4M for that then why are you running a tower?

component assembly might've made more sense but whatever floats their boat. less hassle fueling pos's, i'm all for it

Latest update from a few hours ago - the component assembly array can *also* be used to manufacture the fuel pellets (in addition to an ammo array).

Reading is hard.

Posting threads with questions is much easier.

Good work OP.

I would say that the ammo assembly is the best choice of the ones available because the fuel pellets are charges that make a tower work, much like cap charges make your cap booster work. However if they apply this change to jump capable ships, where you then compress isotopes into pellets that are consumed by distance, is might be prudent to create an additional assembly array, say the Fuel compression array.

Maybe you should quit.

This just in... you will not only be able to manufacture the fuel blocks at the ammo arrays but also at component assembly arrays.

Six months in the hole... it changes a man.
