Solar Turbine

"Requires altitude to function at Max Power."

The sidebar for the Solar Turbine

The Solar Turbine is a slow but long lasting stage that can be unlocked via the cards. It (may) be classified under the Mechano Madness card and so to unlock it quickly you should choose that card after completing Story, Classic, or Payload mode.

Performance

The Solar Turbine is a fairly weak and slow stage. However, it has masses of fuel, and is fairly cheap, though it does require a good amount of altitude. Due to this, it is the primary form of propulsion for most speedruns. Base Cost: $1400
