Hot Air Pod

Description
A retexture mod of the air pod and the Comms Console.

This mod retextures all instances of these items including enemy raids and enemy bases not just the build function!!

Nothing is worse than having your ancient roman colony invaded by space drop pods. This mod is meant to bridge the gap.

I have re textured three items in this mod, the comms console, Pod launcher and the drop pod. All items work the same and require the same components (I tried to add changes but any modifications involve changing the base game).

Air Pod
Retextured to look like a hot air balloons that floated so wonderfully in the skies of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Pod Launcher
Retextured to match the air pod. Has barrels to still hold that fuel and still shows the fuel level.

Comms Console
Retextured as the ancient means of communication using notes attached to birds.

Hope you all enjoy the mod as always suggestions appreciated.

Looking back on comments, I agree with it being its own thing for sure, or at least something that works as a low-tech option for air pod transport with the resource requirements to match.

Retextures are great, but if you still gotta use funky things like components and loads of steel for something that feels like it shouldn't require that, plus needing to still research space tech, it kinda kills the immersion.

Definitely in favour of this being a standalone - allows for "tech progression" runs

If you could make the a buildable item and make it medieval tech that would be awesome! This version will work well for SteamPunk runs.

I would like that make so it doesn’t go as far normal drop pods and use wood as fuel.comma console could use hay to run it.

I can make it into its own mod if that interests anyone. the only downside is that the raids would be back to the old texture

This is an override of the original texture
