Reuse Pods [DEPRECATED]

Description
Reuse Pods - finally build the satellite colonies of your dreams without pouring endless steel and components into pod construction!



Reuse Pods is a simple mod that adds the pod funnel. This spacer-tech building will automatically scoop up inbound pods and try to soft land them on vacant pod launchers nearby, enabling their indefinite reuse.

Warning: this mod is deprecated and does not support Rimworld versions >1.3.
See KarateMaccie's updated version here.

Details:
  • A pod funnel costs 50 plasteel, 10 uranium and 2 advanced components to build. A level 8 constructor is also required, and you'll probably want to build at least two of them.
  • The option to build a funnel is unlocked once you've researched Fabrication, Shield Belts and Transport Pods.
  • Funnels only have a range of 20 tiles. Pod launchers outside this radius won't be considered for a soft landing target.
  • If there are more inbound pods than vacant launchers, the excess will hard land in the spot you originally designated and be destroyed as per usual.
  • Pod funnels are self-powered by a shielded uranium energy cell - they'll still work during flares.
  • Only your pods are affected. Enemy, neutral and allied pods behave as normal.
  • Reuse Pods is compatible with:

Other stuff
  • Github link for non-Steam players is here.[github.com]
  • Reuse Pods should be safe to add to an existing save. You can also remove it mid-save, but deconstruct any pod funnels first.
  • Don't hesitate to leave a comment if you run into a bug, but PLEASE include any relevant information from the debug log if you do so. Especially if said bug entails your podding colonists being eaten by the Void-Between-Methods and never arriving at their destination.
  • If you enjoy Reuse Pods, be sure to give it a favorite and a thumbs-up so the Workshop algorithm gives it some time in the limelight!
  • Oh, and - if you enjoy my mods, consider buying me a coffee on Kofi :) I'll use the money to help me make better mods!

Thank you for creating the mod in the first place and thank you for taking your time to update the description and linking to the fork. Best

This mod is now deprecated - please see Karate's excellent 1.4 fork below.

I have updated the mod and posted an updated version on: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2879963161

Beware: the support for VFE: Power has been removed and replaced by VHGE, as the Vanilla Expanded team has made the gas launchers a seperate mod.

@SomewhereOutInSpace I have submitted a pull request on GitHub. If this workshop listing will be updated, I will ofcourse delist my listing and refer to the original listing again.

any plans to update this to 1.4?

Afraid that you need 2 launchers and that single pod travels between if you have these have these "Pods Funnels" next to launchers on each destination ... so you it wont be that cheap D: only as if you made a bus stations and just refuel, load with stuff/people and send again again .. probably for multi-base playthoughs .. i dont see any other use, cause you cant really just go for mining mission unpack this and send few boxes of ore home ...

Does these pods fly back home on their own? or needed a lancher to do so? am looking for a mod that can send the pods back him, for delivering quest items, shooting good back and forth from a crash landed ship site. Anyone know such a much or an mod the might have it? :)

Are you still to busy with school to add support for advanced transport pods?

Does this work with Transport Cargo Pods?
