Hello, so my "first time" making a custom part for SFS also for now I'll just make custom engines.
This is a basic mod that adds for now 12 custom engines to the SFS game.
This mod adds for now a decent variety of engines into the game that can offer an interesting alternative to the already well known Vanilla engines, this mod can include engines that can extend, from some simple engines for some missions were you would need another type of engine, to an entire version of an Dahzito version of the AEP mod made by Orion (also the suggestion of this was made by Orion) and some Soviet-tech rocket engines (note: this is not finished)
Planned future releases & other small updates:
- 0.7 update: bug fixes, plume and engine specs rework;
- 0.8 update: going to add my whole version of the AEP mod and maybe other engines related to it;
- 0.9 update: going to add some Soviet rocket engines technology;
- 1.0 update: might add some rocket engine technology (real designs and concepts) made by the United States, suggestions about this update and future ones are obviously welcome.
---- Here are some of the engines that this mod adds to the game:
Obviously these are not all of the engines that this mod adds to the game
---- Here are also the specs of all of the engines on this mod:
Changes through the update of this mod:
Newest Version of this mod: v0.6
This mod doesn't have support for MacOs and it's very unlikely that It will have in the future, also if you are having troubles with downloading the mod and how to put it in the game check this thread: Mods and installation: Questions and answers

Engine that can be used as a first stage engine for some rockets.
Mass: 6.5 Tons
Thrust: 130 Tons
Efficiency: 230 Isp
Mass: 6.5 Tons
Thrust: 130 Tons
Efficiency: 230 Isp
An engine that can be used on some landers and small service modules, like the apollo service module, or as an engine for simple and small space stations.
Mass: 5.5 Tons
Thrust: 70 Tons
Efficiency: 230 Isp
Mass: 5.5 Tons
Thrust: 70 Tons
Efficiency: 230 Isp
Useful for "light" second stage rockets and when used on space when thrust isn't much of a problem.
Mass: 5 Tons
Thrust: 70 Tons
Efficiency: 300 Isp
(Made some changes to its design on the 0.6 version)
Mass: 5 Tons
Thrust: 70 Tons
Efficiency: 300 Isp
(Made some changes to its design on the 0.6 version)
A SRB (Solid Rocket Booster) that can help your rocket when the first stage engine doesn't have enough thrust to launch.
Mass: 55 Tons
Solid Fuel: 48 Tons
Thrust: 140 Tons
Efficiency: 180 Isp
Burn Time: 61.7 s
Mass: 55 Tons
Solid Fuel: 48 Tons
Thrust: 140 Tons
Efficiency: 180 Isp
Burn Time: 61.7 s
While the DIAASE (dahzito space agency) and the USSR tried to collaborate they designed the Lioness Engine, it's a powerful engine that can be used to launch heavy rockets/payloads (works well on Realistic mode). Suggestion made by MonkeSpaceflight and inspired on the NK-33 and F-1 engine.
Mass: 12 Tons
Thrust: 500 Tons
Efficiency: 260 Isp
Mass: 12 Tons
Thrust: 500 Tons
Efficiency: 260 Isp
A small and simple engine that can be useful for some types of landers, including small and light landers
Mass: 2 Tons
Thrust: 15 Tons
Efficiency: 245 Isp
Mass: 2 Tons
Thrust: 15 Tons
Efficiency: 245 Isp
An engine similar to the famous RS-25 used on the SLS Block 1, can be used for rockets with a purpose similar to the Artemis missions, and other types of missions of course.
Mass: 9 Tons
Thrust: 200 Tons
Efficiency: 250 Isp
Mass: 9 Tons
Thrust: 200 Tons
Efficiency: 250 Isp
Just an simple engine inspired on the NTR engines and on the NERVA engine, useful for some space missions.
Mass: 5 Tons
Thrust: 65 Tons
Efficiency: 450 Isp
Mass: 5 Tons
Thrust: 65 Tons
Efficiency: 450 Isp
Just a simple engine inspired on the NTR engines, and more on the NERVA engine, useful for some deep space and outer solar system missions.
Mass: 6.5 Tons
Thrust: 40 Tons
Efficiency: 690 Isp
Bugs: for some reason the heatbox of the engine is not working but its not much of an problem however its going to be fixed on the 0.6-bug_fix (0.6.1) update

Basically its just the base of the SRB I made but its "just" the engine and only uses liquid fuel.
A SRB (Solid Rocket Booster) that can help your rocket when the first stage engine doesn't have enough thrust to launch.
Mass: 4 Tons
Thrust: 100 Tons
Efficiency: 220 Isp

Efficiency: 220 Isp
(Doesn't have an description yet)
Mass: 0.05 Tons
Thrust: 0.3 Tons
Efficiency: Infinite Isp (since it only "uses solar radiation" to propel itself)
!!Highly recomended to not use it!! Since its not an stable "engine" and there are some bugs on it, this engine had the purpose of being used on an project (Project Kairos) formed by me and some other people.

The dahzito version of the Daedalus Engine, pretty useful when it comes to interstellar or when needed to also reach for example the Oort Cloud.
Mass: 60 Tons
Thrust: 1000 Tons
Efficiency: 600000 Isp
Bugs: please only use the engine at 85+ throttle because of an bug with the heatbox that can make the rocket to heat and make it explode itself, you can also observe that when igniting the engine and/or using it at 80 or less of throttle.
This engine and the Nuclear Thermal Rocket are engines that are in "beta" since they are part of the future 0.7 version of this mod that is going to include an Dahzito version of the AEP mod made by Orion (suggestion made by Orion)
