Aerial Transport Vehicles! SRTS Expanded - Rimworld Mod Showcase

A mod for Rimworld 1.0 that adds in the ability to have reusable drop pods, of sorts. Allowing you to quickly go between different tiles on the world and return at will.

'These are flying caravans, meant to load people and cargo and bring it somewhere else -- potentially a very long distance, and back again. These act like drop pods, but are not one use -- when you bring it back home you choose where to land and disembark.

Great for hauling cargo, trading with factions, assaulting points of interest on your world map, and so much more. Acts as both a caravan and a drop pod.

A few additional role-specific short range transport shuttles (or SRTS) so you really can fly across the whole world and back again. All ships require their own research project, and they're not cheap. All passengers heal, rest, and eat while on board all transport shuttles, but some shuttles are easier than others to rest in.

Want to add your own? No problem! Support for unlimited types of ships: draw your own designs.

Add it to a save.

SRTS is not required, but works well with this mod!

The Superpod
An amped up transport pod with engines and steering so you can return home.

Carry weight: 240
Fuel tank: 600L
Fuel Efficiency: Standard
Total HP: 200
Work to build: 2,400
Passenger rest rate: 60%

Recipe: 200 steel, 20 plasteel, 8 components.


The Skip
A small transport ship designed for 1-3 people, and a little bit of cargo. Small and quick. Relatively cheap and built with off-the-shelf components.

Carry weight: 420
Fuel tank: 800L
Fuel Efficiency: 20% better than Superpod
Total HP: 450
Work to build: 7,200
Passenger rest rate: 70%

Recipe: 340 steel, 50 plasteel, 25 gold, 10 components.


SRTF
A simple freighter design used across nearly every homeworld. It's very large.

Carry weight: 15,000
Fuel tank: 5,000L
Fuel Efficiency: 10% worse than Superpod
Total HP: 6,000
Work to build: 32,000
Passenger rest rate: 60%

Recipe: 2000 steel, 150 plasteel, 350 gold, 18 components, 2 advanced components.


The Albatross
Originally designed for exoplanetary exploration, a stripped down Albatross X-11 makes for a perfect SRTS replacement.

Carry weight: 4,000

The Phoenix
This design washed up in our databanks a long time ago, but it wasn't until recently that we understood what it meant. This new ship design uses an intricate chemical process to infuse the building materials with a mesh-network, effectively removing the need for many ship-components we use today.

Carry weight: 6,000
Fuel tank: 2,000L
Fuel Efficiency: 25% better than Superpod
Total HP: 3,500
Work to build: 32,000
Passenger rest rate: 120%

Recipe: 800 steel, 450 plasteel, 150 gold, 100 neutroamine, 20 components, 10 advanced components.
