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.

@Amroth Take a BP in a singleplayer world.

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 :/
Lordshadowdragon1 17 Oct, 2024 @ 11:56am 
this is as of the contact update
Lordshadowdragon1 17 Oct, 2024 @ 11:55am 
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.
Jakewhistler 29 Jun, 2024 @ 12:31pm 
Has anyone converted the wheeled pod for atmospheric flight?
Xx_BrooklynnTheMamagen_xX 30 Oct, 2023 @ 10:49am 
how do I enable it?
Raynor 31 Aug, 2023 @ 6:00pm 
Well I think this is the best respawn mods I've found to date.

Thank you @ATF_Coldblooded Carebear || !
I'm aware of both issues, but the small grid space pod is on purpose, because i want to have the space and planet spawn relatively equally balanced
With the rework of the mod I will fix the issue with the O2 generator :)
ATF_Coldblooded Carebear || 29 Aug, 2023 @ 6:24pm 
ok i just use the planetary spawn rover and instantly found a slight issue.. no large cargo access to pull the tank out of the o2 generator
ATF_Coldblooded Carebear || 22 Aug, 2023 @ 12:41pm 
Hope you don’t mind a small reflection on the subject of the space pod?

While I understand to a degree using small grid for the space spawn pod, but the benefits of the large grid cousin would be a more fitting for the space environment.

The pros and con of both can be argue, but here the gist of it while the small grid are flexible and nimble, it need a base or outpost to work from to be efficient, while large grid have the utility to be completely self reliant on both gathering, processing & production.

So all that can be sum up as would it be possible to have a complementary mod but replacing the space pod with your unique ecstatic in ship building??

Sorry for the wall of text.
Raynor 12 Aug, 2023 @ 11:31pm 
Did you go into the Mods tab and activate it?
PHANT0MB 12 Aug, 2023 @ 5:31pm 
so i have a problem where i load a new game with this subscribed to and it doesn't work, i get no new respawn pods
Raynor 5 Aug, 2023 @ 1:52pm 
Ok I just tested these and I love them. If you're re-working these, could you please add a DNSK version?

Also could you upload a blueprint of these and the new ones you make?
Torqs  [author] 11 Jul, 2023 @ 12:14am 
@Nox4d I wanted to rework all the respawn pods anyway so why not adding a hydrogen version ;)
Nox4d 10 Jul, 2023 @ 3:41pm 
I'd love to have a Hydrogen Version of these I've never gone back to using anything else and a modified version of these respawn craft have followed me on countless games from spawn to capitals
Buttlord Supreme 23 Apr, 2023 @ 1:44pm 
For some reason only spawns the default rover to Pertam? The other Planets/Moons/space works fine.
Soul 23 Apr, 2023 @ 1:34pm 
i got the same problem
George32 11 Feb, 2023 @ 7:05am 
How can i enable the spawn mod in private server? Just loading the mod gives as result NO spawn option other then the Spacesuit. Please help??
Notacultist 8 Dec, 2022 @ 5:08pm 
ayo im playing with eat drink sleep repeat and starting with the miner, cus i love mining, and small problem, its got nothing for the mod! a few emergency ration makers or a water purifier would be nice
molotovick 13 Nov, 2022 @ 11:13pm 
is it just me but using the corvette ship crashes the game when i shoot someone with the rail gun
\\,[†],// 5 Oct, 2022 @ 7:44am

Torqs  [author] 30 Sep, 2022 @ 3:31pm

Bro, your link for the Earth Only version is broken, redirects to the same mod :steamfacepalm:
Phantomwolf 18 Sep, 2022 @ 12:55pm 
I figured out what my issue with moving things around was, if I use the ports on the sides of the cargo box they are the same as the large ports. I built up just the equipment on a bench and had a good go of figuring it out. learned something new I had missed for two years, LOL. (This game always with those little nuggets hiding right there.) I thought all the smaller ports were indeed small conveyor ports, but this is not so.
Torqs  [author] 16 Sep, 2022 @ 12:33pm 
thank you for your feedback @Phantomwolf !
I will soon revise my design, if you feel like it you can send me a version how you would design it
Phantomwolf 16 Sep, 2022 @ 10:52am 
I find this rover to drive and handle really well. My only complaint is the difficulty accessing and moving cargo in and around the rover. you have small port access but getting the oxygen, hydrogen bottles into and out of the rover to recharge them is not a smooth process. The work flow from one module to the next needs some tweaking.
I do like that it was easy to add a second battery quickly by simply ducking under the vehicle. I also was able to easily place a solar panel onto the roof to supplement the power generation. Very easy to modify and add to the design as needed.
After I had my base up and running I quickly converted it to a more modular minded flat bed/cargo hauler. I have not needed to build another vehicle yet, which says a lot about how good the design is. having tried and used a number of workshop rover designs, this one is a 8 out of 10, and on my short list of go to mods.:steamthumbsup:
Blaze212 7 Sep, 2022 @ 5:24am 
Alright so im getting a little confused and feel like im missing something here. When i respawn in the Space pod, the thing doesnt have gyros, and no survival kit. Did i miss something?
Torqs  [author] 28 Aug, 2022 @ 10:52am 
lol
Asmodai 28 Aug, 2022 @ 3:04am 
nvm got them to work the breaks were stuck on
Asmodai 28 Aug, 2022 @ 3:00am 
wheels turn but the rover doesnt drive. playing on earth like planet
F1LL3R 24 Jun, 2022 @ 2:23am 
Excellent :)
Je viens de l'utiliser sur TITAN et ce fut parfait pour rejoindre un emplacement idéal.
(I just used it on TITAN and it was perfect to reach an ideal location.)
Torqs  [author] 5 Jun, 2022 @ 1:28am 
I can assure you 100% that this mod does not disable or breakes the jetpack, check your world settings @crashdodgers
crashdodgers 5 Jun, 2022 @ 12:41am 
I do not know if any one has posted about this, but this mod stops the jet-pack from working, i.e. you can press the "X" to use the jet-pack but nothing happens.

Is there a gravity generator on the space pod?
Whistler 13 Apr, 2022 @ 10:01pm 
Mate, love the idea, but got a couple suggestions for the Explorer-MK5.
Things I had to add
1 solar panel, top and bottom.
1 Programmable Block (I use Automatic LCDs, awesome script https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=822950976) .

Also, I suggest NOT hiding the thrusters group, as with limited power they're not something you want running all the time. Personally, I get up to speed, turn the dampeners and thrusters off and just drift to extend battery life (while keeping one of the solar panels facing the sun), or turn them off when I'm mining for the same reason.

Otherwise, the Explorer-MK5 is an EXCELLENT replacement for the vanilla space pod.
Thank you!
CurmuGenX 31 Mar, 2022 @ 4:28am 
That's awesome, I'll test it asap. Thank you for responding so quickly.
Torqs  [author] 31 Mar, 2022 @ 3:32am 
@MarcMyWerdz i have fixed the rover let me know if it works for you now or if i can improve something
Torqs  [author] 31 Mar, 2022 @ 2:45am 
@MarcMyWerdz There are left and right acces ports to the cargo, somewhat hidden behind the grille in the holes of the side armor.
the parachute I made a mistake, I'll fix it right away then the rover should fit for your server
CurmuGenX 30 Mar, 2022 @ 4:08am 
My friends and I are loving these rovers but they need some work for my our server. Not sure why, but on our server only the left parachute opens and with the speeds we are playing lots of the time the rover smashes into the ground. I'd like to modify your rover for our server to fix the other parachute and change the autodeploy height. I'll probably need to add a solar panel to it too, since if the rover's power dies, there's no way to add ice to the o2 gen unless I cut the cryo out (unless I'm missing something).
Torqs  [author] 27 Mar, 2022 @ 12:49am 
@Bad_Rambo the mod is compatible with Eat. Drink. Sleep. Repeat! and has an emergency ration unit at the bottom, if you do not install the mod there is a gap but the rover is fully functional for vanilla
Torqs  [author] 27 Mar, 2022 @ 12:47am 
@consule7 no but you can simply spawn with the mod and make a blueprint
consule7 26 Mar, 2022 @ 12:23pm 
is there a blue print for the ship and rover? they look amazing.
Δ DeltaIguassu 24 Mar, 2022 @ 10:14am 
This the best mod for survival
BeerGuy (* ̄0 ̄*)o日 24 Mar, 2022 @ 1:56am 
for some reason, my game is not loading some blocks of rover and pod.
Siv 20 Mar, 2022 @ 4:08pm 
Working on an RTG and TPV mod. Mind if I mod these for it and reupload?
