Example Thruster section inside Jbeam

    "thrusters": [
        ["id1:", "id2:"],
        {"factor": 1000},
        {"thrustLimit": 1000},
        {"control": "T"},
        
        ["node1", "node2"],
    ],

Placement and direction

Think of node1 as the top of the rocket, and node2 as the base when placing your thrusters, the thrust will start at the top and shoot downwards.
