Summary

The EM-Rail Ejector is used to propel Solar Sails into an orbit around a star to form a Dyson swarm.

In order to launch a Solar Sail, the EM-Rail Ejector must have direct line of sight to the point the Solar Sail will occupy in the swarm. Therefore, players usually construct EM-Rail Ejectors at the poles of the planet, to ensure continuous operation.

Player Tips & Tricks

The pitch angle (vertical angle) must be between 5 degrees and 60 degrees to allow firing. When the pitch angle is outside these ranges, the EM-Rail Ejector glows orange instead of blue, and the "Target Status" info will read "Pitch limit" instead of "Active".

Additionally, the line of sight to the targeted Solar Sail position cannot be blocked by a celestial body (which may commonly occur on satellites of gas giants).

A sorter can take excess Solar Sails from the EM-Rail Ejector so that they can be fed into another Rail Ejector, either via a conveyor belt or directly.
