VVE - Drop Pod Orbital Upgrade

VVE – Drop Pod Orbital Upgrade

This is a simple XML-only patch. It enables the Frog, Toad and Goliath drop pods from Vanilla Vehicles Expanded and Vanilla Vehicles Expanded - Tier 3 to travel to the Odyssey orbital layer.

Important notes

• Bug warning: when targeting orbital POIs, “drop at edge” can cause the drop pod to land where there is no ground. Until this is fixed, always use “drop at center.”

Requirements

• RimWorld 1.6 (Odyssey) • Vanilla Vehicles Expanded (and its dependencies, e.g., Vehicle Framework)

Compatibility

• XML-only; safe to add mid-save. Removing mid-save is probably safe, just make sure that no drop pods are flying. • Affects only the Frog, Toad and the Goliath (if VVE - tier 3 vehicles is present); other vehicles unchanged.

Roadmap

• May add extra chemfuel costs for reaching orbit. • Considering a buildable “orbital upgrade” module for these pods, similar to VVE – Upgrades.
