Burning Cargo Pods


Start on each planet afresh! Dropping cargo safely from space platforms requires pods made out of materials native to the planet in question, forcing rockets before drops. This also adds a cost to orbital logistics.

Burning Cargo Pods

Start on each planet afresh! Dropping cargo safely from space platforms requires pods made out of materials native to the planet in question. Pod items are spent from the platform hub when a drop occurs. The player thus starts on each planet afresh.

One could implement fresh starts by requiring a cargo landing pad, but in Burning Cargo Pods, rather than resources becoming free after rushing a cargo landing pad, the player must build more infrastructure and rockets the more materials they wish to drop.

Players can drop without protection, but explode on entry and must recover their bodies after respawning.
