Allow modded Landing Pad Unloading Bay to unload from Space Platform Hub
The Landing Pad Unloading Bay can currently only unload from the Cargo Landing Pad prototype, but should be modified to be able to unload from the Space Platform Hub prototype for mods that modify the unloading bay to be buildable in space.

Given you can insert into the hub and extract with the unloading bay - this is functionally item teleportation. Mods can already do that with a linked container or proxy container if they want to allow teleporting items.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

That is true, though it could still be a useful feature for things like modded cargo pads.Rseding91 wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2026 6:29 pm Given you can insert into the hub and extract with the unloading bay - this is functionally item teleportation.

If it's true for vanilla it's true for mods. Meaning mods can still do the proxy optionchloeispink wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2026 10:33 pmThat is true, though it could still be a useful feature for things like modded cargo pads.Rseding91 wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2026 6:29 pm Given you can insert into the hub and extract with the unloading bay - this is functionally item teleportation.

Re: Allow modded Landing Pad Unloading Bay to unload from Space Platform Hub
I don't see how that's relevant? The problem here is that if landing pad unloading bays are allowed to be put on space platforms, it won't work with space platform hubs. What I think the OP is asking for is a way to allow extraction from cargo bays when on a space platform.Rseding91 wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2026 6:29 pm Given you can insert into the hub and extract with the unloading bay - this is functionally item teleportation.

Re: Allow modded Landing Pad Unloading Bay to unload from Space Platform Hub
Yes, its currently impossible, and while adding it directly to vanilla would allow item teleportation, mods could use it and disable putting items into a space platform hub to match cargo landing pad behaviour on planets.BraveCaperCat wrote: Thu Jul 16, 2026 3:02 pmI don't see how that's relevant?

Currently this is not possible, as only the cargo bay landing pad is able to interact with the unloading bay.
