The emitter carries the invisible material, whose alpha is 0, so an exhaust prefab left at Unity's default (Use Mesh Colors on) emitted nothing. The shipped thruster prefabs only worked because theirs is off. ThrusterHardpoint .WireExhaust now owns the wiring and turns it off; ShipInstance calls it. The preview smoke wires a default particle system to each emitter on the clone and requires every particle emitted and none transparent. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
