how are tholins supposed to work now? I understand that you get them from the payload the rocket returns. and you can reuse the tholin vessels, which i like.
but you still need to "pay" 100 rocket parts for 50k tholins, or am i missing something? that doesn't seem to be worth it at all.

I agree. 100 rocket parts is a lot of stuff for 50k of tholins.

that sounds like we would get back rocket parts. i thought well maybe it is just not shown in the capsules description and tried it out. but no, you do not get any back. rip :)

so while that may be realistic, it kills the usage of tholins in my opinion.

for 100 rocket parts (lets say built with prod2 modules in mk2 buildings) you pay 2k circ2s, 2.5k circ1s, 80k formaldehyde (only for RF Gel) and lots of other stuff.

you get back 50k tholins, which you can get 25k formaldehyde for - wow!
