[No Mods, DLC, or scripts] Planetary Escape Pod

PLANETARY ESCAPE TIMES:

~7:30 to escape the Alien Planet (uses ~95 - 100% of the Hydrogen Tank),
*needs testing* for Earthlike,
~7:20(ish?) for Mars (uses ~80 - 90% of the Hydrogen Tank),
and is just excessive for Moons.

This is a simple escape pod I built because I couldn't find anything simple that lets you escape from a planet.

It's sort of pricey (large grid Hydrogen Thrusters are no joke), but it's about as cheap as I can make it. Maybe I'll make a small ship version later though, it depends.

Build it, supply it with the items listed on the text panel, remove the extraneous parts (all painted red), then hop in and launch it.

Built for 1 - 3 players, but more can be added if needed. Not sure what the upper limit is though, but let's say 6 - 8 for now.


There's instructions on the LCD panels, but I'll put them here as well:

- Fuel the Hydrogen Tank (to maximum)
- Wait for the battery to charge to 100%
- Place in the required items (on adjacent text panel)
- GRIND or DESTROY all blocks painted RED (Solar Panels too)
- Get into the Flight Seat and launch (click 1). Will take 10 secs.
- Be sure Inertia Dampeners are OFF!


Don't build passenger seats if you don't need them.

When you get to space, build a basic base with the following:
9 Light Armor Blocks (arranged however you want,
but I'd say 3x3)
1 Medical Room (or Medical Cube, if the mod is installed)
1 Battery
2 - 3 Solar Panels

NOTE:
Building the Beacon is OPTIONAL! It's just nice to find your base.
Though you could use a GPS signal I suppose....

I recommend that you grind down the red blocks first and store
their components for use in constructing your space base.
