I noticed that the engines can be changed alot. Basically you can create your own engine. But what does the different fuel types and engine types do to the engine. And I mean each one individualy. Like what is methalox going to do. Or what will thermal generator(I think) will do?

    Its long, but it gets into the basics of efficiency, twr, and fuels of various engines

    @CoBros2 pay attention to the efficiencies and TWR of the power cycles, also mess with the fuels and look at isp when switch aswell as propellant mass

    @MarioG @CasualCrusade lol everyone is recommending the same video I watched when it first came out, I even watched the Scott Manley video about fuel pumping hours ago. But I'm still missing a bit of information.

    Different fuels have different densities and energy yields which will affect your Delta V. A higher ISP and thrust is what you want to go for. Here's an informative video explaining engine configurations in the game https://youtu.be/p-Acf28aSik
