Better Respawn Pods | V1.1

Description
Replaces all vanilla respawn drop pods with custom but vanilla-like pods.
Optionally compatible with Eat. Drink. Sleep. Repeat!
Big advantage is the Emergency Ration Production Unit, Hydrogen Tank with Engine, backup parachute, Cryo Tank and a massive off-road mobility with roll function in case you flipped.

Mod includes:
  • Replaces planet and moon drop pods with Explorer-MK4 rover
  • Replaces space pod with Explorer-MK5 ship

Last update:
  • Second parachute also opens - softer landing
  • Changed top right cockpit LCD background to black

Here is a version with only Earthlike spawn option.

This uses DLC blocks.

On the rover I have noticed that the hydrogen engine and what i think is the battery (mine blew up) are quite unprotected although it might just be my bad driving :D 4 stars.:steamthumbsup:

As LordShadowdragon1 said, the cockpit is not connected to the conveyor grid at all and there's no good way to fix that - the H2/O2 generator is placed right behind it emphasizing the big downside of the industrial cockpit. Worse, there are no easy-to-reach inventory ports at all - you have to jetpack up on top and aim down to get to one. At the least, adding a small cargo on the bottom in some of that free space would allow getting to the inventories without using fuel.

It's also clearly built for atmosphere, with an air vent as the only thing connected to the cockpit. I can't recommend it for a moon or any non-oxygen start.

I like the attention to stability and rollovers, but I think it could use some iteration, especially on the non-atmosphere design.

Is there a way to spawn this in as a blueprint?

I want to use it with the real solar system mod, but that mod strictly starts in creative mode without any vehicles :/

hate to say it but the design has on flaw i have seen across all the respawn pods hdrogen tank under the cryo pod is not properly connected it need to be modified on start up to get it to work properly and would recomend putting a oxygen tank in the open spot to tto the right of it as u look at it

Why is it impossible to access the survival kit without tearing down half the vehicle? There is no easy-access to the conveyor system for using the middle mouse button to withdraw components either.

Has anyone converted the wheeled pod for atmospheric flight?
