Guys this mod is breaking Launch Pods! It might just interfere with Save My Ship os Giddy Up.
But seriously. I just can't use this instead of the others.

hell yeah man!! thanks so much for the update

yaaaaay. Man, thank you!

woooo let's gooo

still hoping :)

Can someone fix and create continued mode?

1.4 update when?

yep, absolutely should be a standard feature.

also still waiting, this is so much more realistic and should be in the game already tbh

I really love this mod, it made transport podding much more viable.. also with the small pod to send gifts or small items. Is this coming to 1.4 eventually?

In the meantime, i edited out the code hooks in the xml to at leat have compatibility and the small pods.

1.4!!

1.4 plz?

1.4 please please please

Please update to 1.4

Incompatible with Vanilla Power Expanded gas-powered transport pod launchers. It doesn't recognize the pod launcher as having any fuel in it, so it cannot be launched.

Woo back to being rocket man

yea 1.3

1.3 please please please

#additional_1.3_spam 2.0

#additional_1.3_spam

Does anyone know if this still works in 1.3, besides the error on start-up?

There you got one more 1.3 comment ;)

1.3?

is there gonna be 1.3?

This is really cool, can you make it for SRTS as well?

small but epic mod, now I can feel less guilt when I send small amount of food to my starving caravan.

Well tbf the red text bug fuel_e generated didn't really impact the game much at all. if you generate two or more red texts people panic.

please don't do that on purpose.

This is actually... the only mod of mine that needed an update for 1.2 And only one comment. Huh.

thanks. as always, thank you for this wonderful mod. so many fun toys. without being just op overkill crap.

Yah dude that's the 1.2 update borked it. Fix incoming.

If the dev is interested, I'm sick of this red text, doesn't seem to crash anything but still:

search for "fuel_economy.mod"

this mod worked great with srts and srts expanded in 1.0. i haven't gotten to try it out in 1.1 yet

is this compatible with SRTS expanded?

how does this interact with srts?

OH YES TY FOR THE UPDATE!!!!! oh YES YES YES!

The same happens to me

I want to use the small pods but I have run into an issue where I can construct one but it will immediately disappear afterwards. I use quite a few mods so that may be the issue but I cannot be sure.

WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! Small Transport pods? LETS GOOOO AHHH!!! YOU ROCK !!!

Thanks for this; without it I wouldn't ever get off my island at the end of the world. The 66 tile range puts me in the middle of the ocean or on the southern ice sheet.. I didn't realize we can't somehow caravan across ocean tiles!

Alas, my choices! Forward the 20kg drop pod unto friend and foe and open field alike!

thanks for your mods too btw, ive been using some of the medicine ones, and the bedrolls so far :)

ah of course :) ive only been playing with the 1 colony so far, and thats true, i might need to send meds to a caravan, ok no worries :) (the gifts without people could be cool if it works) :)

You can send things to a second colony, or your own caravans.

and I do think faction bases would accept drop pod gifts. Probably should test that!

hi, sorry for a noobish question, im only 3 in-game years old lol
but i thought the reason for drop pods in general, was to transport animals/ people with or without some extra items, to save on travelling time?

ive seen some people on youtube sending boomrats across their existing current colony when raiders appear (to launch them a bit nearer the raiders for fun :)

your mod with lighter pods requiring less fuel, sounds cool :) and ive actually installed a couple of extra / longer range drop pod mods for future... but, why would we only need to send items of not much weight somewhere, without people or animals too?
(as far as i know, when a faction asks for a batch of items to be delivered, we need to visit them in person and then deliver the items)?

Oh gee, the thought was not to allow people in them

can't have everythin' right?

any chance of a 35 or 50 kilo pod? IIRC pawns are ~35 kilos and i think it might be cool to have individual drop pods ODST style

I've been launching hype everywhere. Sometimes 20kg, sometimes 150kg. All filled to the brim with man eating visceroids. Or doomsday launchers.

For real though, this mod sure is convenient to have! Customizable yet balanced. It makes having multiple bases/caravans easier to work with, even if they are spread out. My rampant deforestation for chemfuel on the other hand, oh boy. Gotta fuel Chemfuel launching chemfuel!

The amount of hype for small transport pods is not high enough

Small Transport Pods!

Transport up to 20kg for less cost than a nearly empty 150kg pod

Alright. I'll play around with it later.
Thanks.

Yea ~ If "increase mass" means starting at 0kg contents

An empty pod takes 50% the fuel (variable in settings) as a full pod.
Simply adding more contents increases the fuel requirements,
and then a full 150kg pod behaves the same as vanilla, at 100% fuel.

So the range that an empty pod can go on 25 chemfuel is twice that of a full pod.

But when you have 150 fuel, another setting lets you extend the absolute max range of that pod:
150 fuel at 150kg lets you go 66 tiles,
150 fuel at 50% would let you go 132 tiles, or keep the limit at 66 tiles, using less fuel to do so.
