Roboport planet landing

Post by 470lm »

Is there a mod for Space Age that can deploy a roboport on an uninhabited planet, instead of the player?

You suggest him an overhaul, but maybe he want's just an option without overhauling the game.
Personally I also seek for this option: start on a planet without sending my character there. And I see more options than just a roboport: a vehicle or a spidertron (spiderling) is also an option.

For now I have to land just to build a rocket and depart, leaving a spider behind, then play with it for final build.

But... there are planets that forbid dropping pods and forbid leaving (until reaching some research).
Here some options instead of player would be... interesting... and maybe a just a little cheaty but still viable...

...and no. That mod completely removes the player character. What this person is looking for almost certainly is just to be able to deploy a roboport on new planets instead of players, not to remove the player entirely.

Orbital Vehicle Deployment lets you deploy a Vehicle (Spidertron or Tank) directly to the Surface of a Planet. It even allows you to include Equipment Grid items, Construction Robots & Repair Packs as Cargo.

Good Luck!
