	— In-game description

The Rocket Booster is a late-game item that is only used to construct a Ballistic Rocket at a Rocket Launch Site. It is one of 2 parts needed in order to the construct a Rocket.

Production

The Rocket Booster can only be produced in a Factory under the 'Utility' category.

Must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structures Tech Tree in order to be produced.

Tips

Due to its high cost, and limited use (due to only being used in a Rocket Launch Site), it is only recommended to produce one if you are able to launch a Rocket.

Trivia

• Unlike most items produced in a Factory, the Rocket Booster cannot be produced in large quantities, as producing one order will only produce one item.
• The Rocket Booster was removed in Update 1.52, and reintroduced in Update 1.54 ('Naval Warfare'), with the entire Rocket process being reworked.
  • In this rework, the Rocket Booster was replaced with the A0E-9 Rocket Booster.
  • It was changed from a regular item to a small shippable structure, and its production location went from the Factory to the Small Assembly Station.
