[Obsolete] Floating Respawn Pod and Drop Containers

Description
Not currently compatible with WaterMod 3.0
I recommend using the container replacement by PepperJack https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2814647993
For use with Water Mod
This is best used on worlds or servers that use a single planet. This disables all other respawn methods, and also prevents strong signals from appearing in space (I may adjust this depending on feedback).
Respawn Pod Features
  • H2 tanks for floatation
  • Balanced Center of Mass and Center of Buoyancy
  • Collector and ejector for ballast
  • Rifle, ammo, bottles, and ice
  • Tools included
  • Similar comps to default lander pod
  • Beacon for servers to avoid essentials cleanup
  • Atmosphere and moon spawn in case you use a moon with water
  • All other respawn pods are disabled
Drop Container Features
  • H2 tanks for floatation
  • Balanced Center of Mass and Center of Buoyancy
  • Working button and cargo for unk signal system
  • Roughly 50% average spawn rate with vanilla prefabs
  • No beacon so they get cleaned via essentials cleanup
  • Atmosphere and moon signals in case you use a moon with water
  • All space unknown signals are disabled
You may customize this mod and reupload for your server, but please link back to this mod and leave credit. I left notes in the SBC files that will help you with making adjustments.

Finally had some time to finish my starter ship. The current one is for my server so it needs an industrial overhaul. But if anyone asks ill modify a version for just vanilla.

Looks good! I'll throw a link up to yours. Thanks for doing that!

Upgraded your special container and it is now compatible with water mod 3.0 with some extra tweaks. I didn't do the respawn ship in my mod. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2814647993

@Jayce probably not, I'm gonna add an obsolete tag since I don't have time to update it.

With the changes to the water mod, do these still work?

does not float with the Industrial overhaul mod by default

Flip over after landing. Copying and pasting in every which way always ends it it being bottom up. Small-block ships seem to be less stable overall with water mod than large-block ships currently, so that might have something to do with it.

like they flip over after landing?

I'm betting it has more to do with updates to the water mod, but after trying these, the spawn pods always ended up upside down.
