Cargo Pod Transport Mod

Author of the Cargo Pod Transport Mod: mlie

Cargo Pod Transport Mod is a transport-focused mod that adds a reusable cargo pod vehicle to RimWorld. Similar to vanilla transport pods, it offers much higher carrying capacity and can travel anywhere on the world map without disappearing after landing.

Cargo Pod Transport Features

  • Reusable world travel: The Cargo Pod Transport Mod can fly anywhere on the world map and does not disappear after landing.
  • Higher capacity: It works similarly to a transporter pod, but carries more than the vanilla version.
  • Transport pod tech integration: You can build the Cargo Pod Transport Mod after unlocking the transport pod technology, under the Misc category.
  • Downed pawn transport: Downed pawns can be carried inside the Cargo Pod Transport Mod.
  • Edge drop support: The Cargo Pod Transport Mod is compatible with Edge Drop and will move to a suitable landing location if you click near the map edge.
  • Updated visuals: The mod received a new name and updated textures.
  • Source code available: Source files were shared by the updater for anyone who wants to continue development: http://www.mediafire.com/file/hmu952kf79e641i/Helicopter.rar/file.

Old name: Helicopter Mod.

Tips: If you cannot find your cargo pod, check your pawn inventory.

  • RimWorld version support: RimWorld 1.2 is supported.
  • Mod compatibility: Rimefeller Mod support was added.
