Description

This is a complete remake of cz01doly™'s now defunct Solar Escape Pod. This was a fantastic respawn ship that proved very popular among many players and is still in the "Top Rated All Time" category on the Workshop. My goal with this mod is to modernize the Solar Escape Pod to enable it to work again and to more or less stick to the original design (aside from a few deviations here and there).

Just after the blueprint? You can find it here!

What is it?
A small grid respawn ship designed for survival PvP servers with a minimum 3x inventory multiplier. This mod replaces all stock respawn ships with three different colour variants of the Solar Respawn Pod.

What does it have?
Oriented towards minimalism, the Solar Respawn Pod comes stocked with all the materials required for starting out fresh without handing everything to the player on a silver platter.

Within the pod's inventory are enough components to build...
- 1x Small Reactor
- 1x Oxygen Generator
- 1x Oxygen Tank
- 1x Medical Room
- 1x Assembler
- 1x Arc Furnace
- 1x Small Cargo Container
- 5x Light Armor

With a bit of extra Silicon to aid in the future construction of a Refinery (ie. Computers).

What's it made of?
The pod utilises a combination of Solar Panels and a Battery for power and is completely independent of Uranium. It has a simple yet stylish design and incorporates all the standard blocks one would expect of a modern respawn ship, including Oxygen Generator, Oxygen Tank, Antenna, Remote Control, and Ore Detector.

A small quantity of Uranium (to power the constructible Small Reactor) and Ice is supplied with the pod to give the player just enough time to track down new sources. Emergency player tools and Oxygen/Hydrogen Bottles are also provided.

----------

Some special features worth noting are...
- Constructed entirely of vanilla blocks
- Oxygen and Hydrogen ready
- Fully functional conveyor system from the front to the Cargo Container
- Easily modified into a combat or utility ship
- Early warning enemy detection system

I just had the best solo survival round starting out in one of these and gliding it through the Earthlike atmosphere and crash-landing. This is truly a great mod.

Hey Kothe Great Mod, I've used this on my server however there seems to be a glitch with the hand held drill people are unable to see it or use it..
Not sure what is causing the issue.

Thanks jarhead, will give your suggestions a try later in the week. I won't be adding atmospheric thrusters to this pod though - I'll be making a brand new atmospheric pod for planetary use.

For 1x inventory it will need 2 medium cargo, 1 o2 gen/tank (recommend both), relocate battery to between the o2 and cockpit and add conector to rear, add 1 small atmo thruster next to each ion thruster (extra length will allow 2 solar on each side)

Alright, thanks a lot.
Kothe  [author] 17 Nov, 2015 @ 7:15pm 
Ah, righto. So you're after 1x inventory support. Sure, I'll have a crack at it next week. I don't have access to a computer until then.
sysbr34kr 17 Nov, 2015 @ 4:21pm 
Right, my fault for beign lazy, did not ready that part about the 3x Inventory. Could you make a version of this with 2 cargo containers? :steamfacepalm:
Kothe  [author] 17 Nov, 2015 @ 3:03am 
Hey, can you be more specific please? I've been without a computer for a few weeks now so am not sure what components you're referring to. If you mean planet-capable, I intend to create an atmospheric version of the pod when I'm able to (sometime next week).

I really like this mod, but you need to update the components for the new update.
