Ion thrusters are propulsion modules that create thrust from energy.

**Crafting**
- **Assembler**: Assembled from [Reinforced Carbon Sheets](@oritech:reinforced_carbon_sheet), 
[Advanced Batteries](@oritech:advanced_battery), and [Flux Gates](@oritech:flux_gate).

**Usage**
- Used in the [Accelerator Motor](@oritech:accelerator_motor), flight-focused augments, and advanced mobility gear such 
as exo flight upgrades and boosted elytra recipes.
- If you are building toward the particle accelerator or permanent player flight, ion thrusters are one of the main 
transition components for that tier.
