Have you ever wanted to send a drood (or multiple) to a foreign planet and strand them there in order to make them survive? Have you ever wanted to get rid of that cough pesky coworker cough I mean Droodnaught that's been a pain in your side for ages? Well now you can, RimWorld style.
I decided to build this since I have been on a bit of a watching Rimworld binge as of late and decided that I would build my interpretation of what the transport pods would look like.
This transport pod has 4 drogue chutes, 4 landing engines, and some deployable floatation tanks.
It is reccomended to safely deploy the drogue chutes at any speed less than 450m/s. It is also notable that the drogues cut at 1.58km so from there it is manual piloting (because I was too lazy and am still very inexperienced with Vizzy) to land the drop pod safely cough as hard as you want to land it cough.
I hope everyone enjoys. All action groups are labeled. Slider 1 controls door when action group 3 is active. Slider 2 controls deployable float tanks when action group 5 is active.
There is also some storage space beneath where the drood sits for some cargo. I will be releasing a cargo version later so that you can not only strand a Drood on an alien world full of pig-people and gigantic mechs that wish to see you dead, but you can give your colonist some supplies to do so in style with.
Warranty void if a Boomalope exploded and damages the pod.

    I hope you all enjoy this. Kind of something I just put together over the past three or so days. Wanted to make this because I thought it would be fun and I've been watching a ton of videos on Rimworld as of late.
