Liquid Echirus, meanwhile, can be bought at the outpose or found under the surface of a moon. Uranium is often on radioactive planets, Plutonium can be found deep beneath the surface of moons, and planets near a hot star are most likely to house Solarium. While Core Fragments are naturally generated on some. 20 Core Fragments must be obtained to repair the engines and 20 Erchius Crystals must be obtained to repair the FTL Drive. When a player first starts his or her game, their engines and FTL Drive will be offline. Each of these sources can be mined on planets and moons. Presumably an acronym for 'Faster Than Light' Drive, FTL Drives are warp drives which make travel between solar systems possible.
There are four sources of fuel within Starbound: Uranium, Solarium, Plutonium, and Liquid Echirus, which replaced Coal as a fuel source a while back. Travelling within a star system is free, but travelling between these systems will cost fuel proportional to the distance traveled, with a 500 max cost. Starbound is all about surviving as you travel across the galaxy, and to do that, you’re going to need plenty of fuel for your ship.
