[ES] Expanded Basic Depots

In 1 collection by ErrantSword
[ES Collection] ErrantSword Mods: Surviving Mars
27 items
Description
This Mod adds 4 additional, high-capacity resource Depots to the game (for Metals, Concrete, Food and Fuel). These hold 360 units of thier associated resource. Additionally, an expanded 50-unit Universal Depot is also included.

For balance purposes, each of the new Depots requires a small amount of Concrete to construct, plus a Drone to complete the work. You are still able to constuc the original 'free' Depots for all resources. This allows flexibility over the storage of the more common resources.

Additionally, the capcity of the Waste Rock Dumping Site is increased to 100.

[NOTE: This Mod must not be combined with the alternate 'Expanded Depots' Mod, nor any other Mod that changes the Depots. It should be compatible with existing saved games unless the Depots in those were modified.]

Does this still work?

@rdr99 - Don't forget you can force a RC Cargo Carrier to unload on the ground! So you don't actually need to build anything to start off at a new location :)

@ErrantSword... Don't get me wrong, I like them. I did confuse this with the Expanded Depots mod which I am using. And yes, the "temporary depot" is lovely and allows you to place an autonomous hub that will still call for shuttles, so that's good. So yes, I did confuse the two... sorry about that. It works great, but when you use it you have to remember to bring a little concrete with you with your first cargo rocket or you have a problem unloading resources unless you can use the game's new 4000 unit storage pallets by bringing sufficient resources to build those if you unlock them early enough.

@rdr99 - I think you have this Mod confused with another. With this one installed, you retain all the original build options, plus the expanded 'basic' depots. If you use my 'Expanded Depots' mod, you lose the original options, but gain a free 'Temporary Depot'.

As always with Mods, you aren't forced to use the. Everyone has a different opinion, but over 800 people seem to liek this version.

You, the author, commented below that some people thought the cost was "too low". That's strange since the standard pallets have NO cost at all and these replace them... completely! You don't any longer have any option but to use these if you install them, so frankly I think they should be free to build also. Why the originals are so small is beyond me, so thanks for this "upgrade" to the standard pallets, but really... these should be free to build also in my opinion.

I think you could double the price and still it would be widely used. Metal and concrete in 1:3 or 1:4 ratio.

I just wanna say thanks for this great Mod. My drones hate you though. I had them re-organise my 35000 food into half the size last night and laughed for the whole 40 minutes it took them. Much neater colony now though.

@Inglorius - I don't want to drive the price too high, buut if other epople think the cost is too low I'll certainly review it.

@Runaurufu - I too enjoy having some fairly extnesive dumps, hence making only a relatively small change with this Mod. Next time I'm working on thing maybe I'll split the Waste Rock Depot off so people have more flexability.
