The bottom node turns on while the ship is actively in FTL flight. The middle node turns on while the ship is speeding up to or slowing down from interstellar FTL flight. If that weren't cool enough, the drive also has three wire output nodes that can bring your fancy ship builds to life as they sail the stars! The top node turns on whenever the ship is moving. Once you've made the base drive, you'll also learn the recipes for six colored variants so your engine room can match the rest of your ship!
This mod adds exactly what it says it does: a Faster-than-Light Drive object (based on the cockpit view from <1.3) which, if placed on a ship, will animate in time with your voyages, complete with whirring cooling fans, erchius fuel flowing through a sciencey condenser coil, and a dramatic flashy reaction! The drive is 8×10 tiles, so it fits exactly into the teleporter-sized 'closet' rooms on most vanilla ships.
