A fuel management module that cuts the Tadpole's engine power consumption by 20% per copy installed. Since the Tadpole has 4 upgrade slots, you can install four Engine Efficiency modules for a combined 80% reduction in power draw — essentially making your Power Cell last five times longer between charges. The Blueprint is found in the Observatory biome (~1,313m east of Lifepod). A must-have for long-range expeditions to Karakorum Metal Farms.
Effect
-20% engine power consumption per module. Stacks up to 4× for -80% total.

Notes
Effect: -20% engine power consumption per module installed. Up to 4 can be equipped for -80% total (5× effective cell range).
Tips:
- For maximum efficiency: equip 4× Engine Efficiency and rely on [photovoltaic-charger] for passive top-ups in shallow water.
- Only one slot needed if you carry spare Power Cells; use remaining slots for [strike-armor] or [cavitation-muffler] for survivability.
- Stack stacks but each module takes up one of your 4 upgrade slots — consider the tradeoff.
