Planetary gearbox

Space Engineers equip their orbital constructors with planetary gearboxes to manage complex gravitational interactions and rotations across diverse celestial bodies. The system allows operators to regulate transmission forces while shifting gears through variable velocity ratios for maximum propulsion performance in response to varying planet or moon conditions. It effectively controls high-stress environments during rapid deceleration or ascent on heavily atmosphered worlds by reducing torque peaks to the structural integrity of spacecraft systems, ensuring optimal fuel efficiency. Its adaptability proves particularly advantageous when working near a variety of asteroid sizes with significantly varied rotation speeds.
