Thanks so much for the feedback!
We actually only planned for the first(and only) ring to only have three fuel pickups, but then after play testing we realized that was too punishing for a game jam, especially since you didn't have much room to mess around with designs. So then we added like a bunch everywhere lol.
Also, one control we failed to mention in the game itself is that could can rotate thrusters before you place them with right click! Not sure if you knew.
That thruster damage thing is actually SUCH a good idea, honestly it wouldn't have been too bad to implement either I wish we thought of it!
