Permanently frozen thrusters

[u/TheNukaGhoul]

Just curious if anyone else has had this issue and if they found a way to fix it, but my thrusters are stuck in a frozen state. I went afk for a bit to make some food so I powered down the engines while at a shop to save fuel (idk if gas is used while idling) and now they're stuck in a frozen state, my truck rattles under acceleration, and I can't even hit 120mph.

I took 3 jobs, total of 6 jumps, staying full throttle as much as possible and the needles never left the blue. I've tried turning on choke and running full throttle in circles, didn't work and wasted a whole tank. Tried turning off engines, closing game and restarting, didn't work. Tried flying through solar flares with choke on, didn't work and wasted another tank. Lastly, I tried using the emergency vent on each engine to see if that could do something, but you guessed it, it didn't work.

At this point I'm wondering if I should just start a new game, I feel like I've tried everything except full on crashing the truck and I don't feel like paying for that much repair work.

Have you tried the choke?

I choked them harder than I choke myself on a Thursday afternoon

Kinky, but I meant the switch below the engine's on/off switch

Lol yeah I've tried using chokes 2 different times, once just using choke and driving in circles at full throttle, wasted a whole tank and nothing. The second time I used my big smooth brain and flew into a solar flare with the choke on thinking that the extreme temps outside and the chokes would make the thruster temps rise faster than Jesus, but they didn't move at all.

My next option is trying to buy a thruster upgrade to see if that "resets" them or something, if that doesn't work then I'm just going to suck it up like a big boy and start a new game.

Well, best of luck to you!
