Q: what are 3 bars in the bottom right corner? 

A: Blue – Shields

Red – power of Weapons/Mining Lasers

Green – Engines

Q: Why do the bars go to 150%?

A: Because depending on the situation you may want to “overload” them. Setting them at above 100% for example at 150% will consume more power so you better watch the % of power core indicator above the bars.

A: The current Trilite Concentrate Fuel Canister recipe can be found by opening the in-game market tab, clicking resources, and searching for “Trilite Concentrate Fuel”.
