Yup it works. Only thing is that since the holes need to be dug out first there should be a check to make sure the entrance is actually finished

support for Deep And Deeper would be nice! At a glance you may only need to add your comps to their ShashlichnikCaveEntrance def with an xml patch but I'll test it myself soon

I am also interested in this feature!

Much appreciated! Especially since those caves are more permanent. Pit gates only act as wastepack dumps until the boss dies of tox exposure, then ya gotta summon a new one lol

@Huehuecóyotl Yes, I believe it could be. I'll work on an update at some point.

Could this function be extended to the cave systems added by Odyssey, such as the bunkers and the insect tunnels?

Nice trash can!

A shame someone hasn't made a mod version of a pit to hold prisoners as well...

^___^

@Sean Wagemans @giimer @Tpicoo @LithoBreak Thanks for the suggestion! I will add that to my list of things to do. I don't know when I'll get a chance though since I have a lot of projects I'm already working on.

Could you give the pit exit in the undercave the same function? You can find ores and stuff in the undercave but there is no good way to move the resources out of it into your colony other than manually carrying stacks out individually

amazing idea

Can you make inside of the pit gate dumpable too? It would be nice if you could send someone in there to retrieve things and they would dump them back outside

@DartMada Click on a pit gate then open the dumping tab.

how do you access this? I can't find it

That sounds like a "future me" problem.

@₱ⱧØⱤØ₴ there is no penalty for dumping waste packs, other than having to explore a poisonous cave when/if you go down there to destroy the dreadmeld and close the pit gate.

Should i expect the wastepacks thrown in there backfire on my colonists?

lmao, I was talking to someone about being about to do this. Good work mate.

Nice

This is so dope it's now my 233rd mod for my current game.

yeah, why would you want to close it, it's a great dumping site for waste AND a free source of anomalies

i just love that you saw how players can throw their garbage in this giant gate to some hellish fleshbeast nest and went "but what if i automated it?"

hm funny idea just dumping tons of tox packs then send a single pawn with a molly down there to burn it all (send a imp with gasmask)

Also because I'm a dumb ass and didn't say this first, Thank you for this, super handy and will already save me tons of time on its own!

I dunno if it would be in scope, but could you do this in reverse? A "dumping" tab to let you push things out of the pit onto the surface, I have a bad habit of farming every ounce of mine-able material and deconstructing stuff and then shoving it back up. It can be done manually like this it's just a pain in the ass and I'd rather throw a few rock constructs down there and let them haul things up while I walk away and play the game xD

@Macropod Everything you dump will be down there waiting for you. I don't know if it's compatible with the hygiene mod, but feel free to try it out!

1. If you go down into a hole, will it be possible to find in it everything that was dumped there?
2. Is the "Dubs Bad Hygiene" mod supported?

Ah yes humanity. and eldritch gate opens to another dimension full of murderous flesh-beast. and what do we do? "hey guys threw the nucular waste down their!"

If I've learned anything from Rick and Morty, somewhere in that hole lives a little guy who loves eating yum yum trash

Finally an environmentally friendly way of getting rid of my toxic wastepacks!

Just to be clear, you can already do this without mods. This mod just automates it so you don't have to keep opening the caravan-style dialog to add items.

Finally, the money hole.

Tynan definitely did not expect this

as the on Grim Kleeper once said "The only thing better than dumping trash in your own backyard, is by dumping it, in your neighbors back yard!"

does ludeon approve of these shenanigans

"how goes the invasion of the overworld fellow fleshbeast, have the conquered them?"
"they use us as a dumpster"
"sad flesh noises"
