Recycled Cargo Pods enhances interplanetary logistics in Factorio's Space Age expansion by introducing reusable cargo pods for planetary deliveries. Dropping cargo from space to planets now require Cargo Pods which can be assembled, repaired and reused. Also your rocket will need a cargo pod.

Key Features:
- Craft Cargo Pods: Build cargo pods using low-density structures, rocket fuel, and other materials.
- Repair Used Pods: Repair damaged pods with an 85% success rate using repair packs and rocket fuel in assembling machines.
- Configurable Minimum Stacks: Set a minimum number of filled stacks (1-10) for cargo pod launches via a user-friendly GUI, preventing inefficient drops.
- Custom Notifications: Optional alerts notify you when cargo-drops fail due to insufficient pods or stacks.
- Seamless Compatibility: Supports optional mods like External Rocket Parts and Liquid Rocket Fuel, with tailored recipes for diverse gameplay.

Gameplay Impact:
- As the rocket recipe is changed, you will get less productivity bonus from the prod modules in your Rocket-silo. So you could consider using an mod to make the rocket parts externally such as External Rocket Parts
- Don't forget to bring cargo-pods when going to a new planet ;-).
