Drone Fuel test comparison

Satisfactory Drone fuel test comparison

[@finlay9260]

My assumption as to why fuel and turbofuel ascended before landing is the landscape. Their ports are closer to the coast and as they fly towards this big mountain when approaching the port, their programming tells them to prepare for ascend, even though they don't technically have to. The bad news is that if that's correct, it's not a fair comparison unfortunately :/

Still, you can clearly see that they are way slower compared to the others

[@finlay9260]

@@uxiz8805 Yeah, fuel is about 1.5x slower than ionized/plutonium. I tested it myself and made a video, referencing this one.

only video on yt covering this in detail, thanks man

[@Rons-yz5qt]

Great video!

[@TheXeioken]

Thanks for this, need more details on this before I setup drone life

[@tylocook]

Are you sure it is the fuel causing the different flight pattern and not the locations of those bases? Have you tried shuffling around the fuel types to see if they behave the same way?

[@piplupz132]

They fly up because they are closer to the cliff

[@Afro__Joe]

This was a great test. For just a little bit more evenness, I wonder how going high enough to avoid all terrain between the two locations would go. Thanks for sharing. :)

Wow that's really interesting! Really good test and comparison of the different fuels. Even though there's a little difference, it's not really all that much of a difference in the overall big picture. Not really. I plan on using Turbofuel, and then Rocket Fuel for my drones when I tech up to that point and finally get drones. Not because of flight speed, but because that's the fuel I'm making for my Fuel Gen powerplant and it's there and it 's available. I'll just make a little more than I need and package it for use and distribution for drones. So whatever fuel I'm mass-producing for the powerplant is what I'll use for my drones. Really interesting video though. Good comparison! Thanks for this!

Uranium rods ftw

Nice test, thank you, I'm about to build a radio control unit Factory in my 1.0 run and then I'm gonna use these wherever they make sense. Have you tested the max reach on them yet?

[@ikorbln]

Now that i can use turbofuel i dont care about the other because turbofuel i have a lot. No need to do the battery anymore 😂

[@reapertemptations]

When you can, conver it to rocket fuel because it turns 60 turbo into 100 rocket fuel. Its very nice
