[ES] Rocket Landing Pad

This Mod introduces a basic Rocket Hardstanding to Surviving Mars. This can be found in the 'Infrastructure' build category. It does not effect Rocket operations, although a more advanced Mod may be developed in the future.

The Hardstanding is ideal for reserving dedicated areas for Rocket operations, and for general cosmetic use. It requires very low maintenance and can tolerate the high quantities of Dust generated by Rockets (although other nearby structures may be affected as normal). The Hardstanding can be demolished as usual.

The tarmac / gravelled area closely approximates the 'footprint' of a landed Rocket, while the additional rough concrete surround prevents blast scarring to nearby terrain. Rockets should be landed with the Lamp Projector in the rear 'notch' of the Rocket footprint. Power is connected by running a Cable into (or under) the Wall Node behind the lamp. This Wall Node has been pre-positioned to allow use of the 'Base Walls' Mod to enclose the Hardstanding.

Unlike most Mods, 'Rocket Hardstanding' can be activated and will appear within a previously saved game.

[KNOWN ISSUE: Drones can 'clip' through the Wall Node. This is necessary to ensure the Hardstanding can be maintained even when occupied. Without maintenance being enabled, no visual Dust accumulation could take place when the Hardstanding is in use.]
