Space · How it works
Zero g
Without a jetpack in weightlessness you cannot move: you drift. Stranded? Esc > Respawn.
In the game
How to get it
Wear a jetpack (parachute slot) before going aboard a weightless ship, out of a hatch or onto an asteroid: W A S D, Space up, Shift down.
What it is for
Move freely around your station, between ships (up to 2 km) and on asteroids.
Why it exists
Space does not forgive: the rule teaches you to prepare before leaving.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
The rule
In a ship or on an asteroid with less than 5 % gravity and no jetpack, you cannot walk, jump or push off: you keep drifting.
Stranded
After a second an amber card says why: "You cannot move: no jetpack" — put one on, or press Esc > Respawn (the pause menu gains the button). The chat tells everyone you died stuck in space; you respawn at your spawn point.
