Roc's Hardcore Cargo Drops

by thesixthroc

Dropping cargo pods requires protective material native to each planet, ensuring the player starts on Vulcanus, Fulgora and Gleba afresh, while adding cost to orbital logistics. Materials are spent from the platform hub on launch. Pods burn up in the atmosphere if unprotected. Requirements: • Nauvis: 200 steel plates and 10 uranium-238. • Gleba: 200 steel plates and 10 bioflux. • Vulcanus: 200 tungsten plates. • Fulgora: 200 holmium plates. • Aquilo: 200 steel plates and 10 ice.
