Disable "Space Pod" and "Space Suit" respawns without disabling planetary drop pods?
I've been able to restrict respawns on my dedicated server to: Survival Kits/Medical Rooms, Earthlike Drop Pod, Space Pod and Space Suit by adding the following text to the "atmospheric" and "non atmospheric" ship sections of RespawnShips.abc:

<PlanetTypes>
<PlanetType>EarthLike</PlanetType>
</PlanetTypes>

I would really, really like to disable the Space Pod and Space Suit spawns as well, but after hours of web sleuthing, I've been unable to figure it out. Is there a way to disable the "Space Pod" and "Space Suit" respawns without having to disable Respawn Ships in the main dedicated server config file (which also disables the desired Earth Drop Pod).

Thank you.

HI, I just used the Wokshop search tool and noticed there are available ones you could try.

As usual, I strongly recommend to test one Mod at a time in a testing world before adding to your Favorite save, in case it can break your save if broken/not up to date.

Here are the one I would try first :

Planets Only Respawn Pod Example Mod (no moons)

Respawn Earthlike only
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2531411773
Respawn Ships on Planets Only
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2664323316
Respawn Earth Only
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2469916472
Respawn Ships with Tools on Planets Only

I appreciate the quick reply Dan2D3D.

I was able to quickly iterate through those add-ons, as I'm in the initial steps of setting up a dedicated server and can quickly try one mod, verify it does or doesn't do what I want, then revert and try the next. Unfortunately, they all run into the same issue I described in the initial post. They're able to suppress drop pods for atmospheric and non-atmospheric planets other than earthlike from being displayed... but the "Space Suit" and "Space Pod" respawn options still persist.

Do you happen to know if there's anything that can be added to a dedicated server's configuration files, short of setting "Respawn Ships" to false (and disabling all spawn pods) to prevent specifically the "Space Suit" and "Space Pod" options from being presented?
