Power cores

Power Cores will appear when you place Propulsion blocks as an indicator of the power of your vehicle. Propulsion blocks are not the only block that require Power Cores, as gadgets such as the Electromagnet and Cannons require them as well.

In the Racing gamemode, vehicles are rated based on the amount of cores they use. Vehicles with similar amount of cores are put into their respective leagues for each race, such that different leagues have different leaderboards for each racetrack.

In the Stranded in Space Campaign gamemode, Power Cores serve as a limiting factor to the power of your vehicle. You have a limited amount of power cores to use, which can be increased by collecting certain scrap found around the map.

Each propulsion block has a power core requirement, which differs depending on the power of the block. Many of the gadgets also require power cores to function.
