---This function sets the "autolaunch" checkbox on the rocket silo gui.
---This parameter is not exposed directly on `LuaEntity`.
---The workaround is to place a blueprint since the property is exposed on the blueprint string.

Fear

[snow tundra]

Is that an equipment to lock the slots to your special rocket design?

Utilizing the fact that equipment can be non-square

I love it so much
I want more mods using and abusing that fact

[crude belfry]

hrm it seems like the rocket entity is missing the "thrust" working sound

Most of the credit goes to @winter cipher . I just cleaned up the gui style a bit.
