Description

Platform CargoDrop On Demand adds a practical on-demand unloading tool for space platforms, letting you quickly dump the entire cargo inventory of a platform onto the planet below.

This mod places a dedicated button directly in the platform UI. Once activated, it starts a controlled 60-second cargo drop window during which the platform unloads its cargo to the currently orbited planet.

The unloading process is designed to be simple and convenient. Instead of manually handling repeated transfers, you can trigger one active drop cycle and let the platform do the work for you. If the situation changes or you started the process too early, the drop can be canceled manually at any time, returning the system to standby.

The mod is best understood as a quick tool rather than a full logistics redesign. It is not meant to replace advanced platform logistics setups, but to provide a fast and reliable way to unload large amounts of cargo when needed.

Features

  • Adds a visible cargo drop button to the platform UI
  • Dumps the entire cargo inventory of the platform to the planet below
  • Runs in a fixed 60-second unloading window
  • Includes a cancel button for stopping the process early
  • Useful for unloading without repeated manual interaction
  • Designed as a lightweight quality-of-life utility

Recommended Use Cases

  • Initial colonization of a new planet
  • Quick drop runs for early outposts
  • Rapid bulk deployment of building materials
  • Emergency supply delivery
  • Fast unloading when you do not want to click through each step manually

In short, Platform CargoDrop On Demand is a compact and practical quality-of-life mod for players who want fast orbital unloading on command.
