Trouble finding a working shuttle engine in Rimworld? Read our guide to learn how to scavenge or find one with ease.
Rimworld’s procedurally generated world offers players many opportunities to build their unique sci-fi colony. The game is inspired by sci-fi media and video games like Dune, Firefly, and Dwarf Fortress, and is available on PS4, Xbox One, Windows, and macOS. Rimworld’s Odyssey expansion was released on July 11, 2025, and features several new landmarks, quests, biomes, and enemies to expand on the base game. This article will explore the various ways to acquire a Shuttle Engine in the game.
There are various ways to get your very own Shuttle Engine in Rimworld Odyssey. You can either find and deconstruct a crashed shuttle or purchase one from specific traders or quests. There isn’t a single sure-shot quest, but there are multiple reliable ways to get one.
Where To Get the Shuttle Engine
Buying from Traders
Shuttle Engine can be found with various traders like:
- Orbital Combat Suppliers
- Random Faction bases (usually for 4000 silver)
- Orbital Goods Ships
Prices will vary. You can check the price manually if you’ve got a trade beacon, comms console, or a caravan set up.
Deconstruct Crashed Shuttles
You can acquire the Shuttle Engine by breaking down crashed shuttles, which show up from:
- Abandoned Shuttles on Space Platforms
- Royalty DLC Crash quests
- Orbital Maps via Orbital Scanner or Ancient Uplink
When you come across a downed shuttle, you can check if it’s salvageable. You need to deconstruct it fully to get the engine. You won’t necessarily always get one, but your chances are pretty good.
Quest Rewards
A few select quests offer a shuttle engine as one of its reward choices. Due to the procedurally generated nature of the game, these aren’t common, but they exist. You might not know about the reward beforehand, but it’s worth a try.
Shuttle Research Tools
You need to unlock Shuttle construction in the Research lab before you can build or install a shuttle engine. You’ll need to type “shuttle” in the lab search menu to find it. This will enable the build options when you’ve gathered all the parts.
Conclusion
There isn’t a specific or certain quest to obtain a shuttle engine. You’ll need to scavenge, take risks, or trade to find one. Be on the lookout for crash sites, scan orbital zones, or loot platforms. Always remember to deconstruct a busted shuttle, even if it may seem empty. You can get more than one shuttle engine per map, but due to the game’s randomised nature, it’s uncertain.
