I just want a version that works without VFEI2/for 1.6

Yep! Go nuts, Would've loved to get my own version updated but I'm pretty busy at the moment. Be aware that I still might update mine at some point.

Hello! I'm interested in porting this content to an odyssey version, I'd just need permission to reuse the textures present in this mod.

i would appreciate if you made a version of this mod that worked with odyssey

it sure has

so uh...sos2 updated a bit ago

This would be perfect for gravships. I hope you make this compatible with Odyssey as SOS2 will likely take a LONG time to adapt to Odyssey.

Agreed, hope we get hellpod for Odyssey

i certainly hope you can get it to update and integrate with odyssey or someone else makes an odyssey hellpod mod, id love to recreate the ships in helldivers and drop squads down lol

Not sure if this mod will be updated to 1.6, not at least until SOS2 updates which could take a very long time. As for compatibility with Odyssey, we'll see after I play it, though probably not.

Any chance of this working with space stations from Rimnauts 2?

Glorious mod 10/10 points for managed democracy

My colonists keep dying on planetfall, Launched a group of 4 helldivers and two died from the other hellpods impacts. Anyone know of a fix or possible update to the mod. For now ill just launch in groups of two

Finally, the great system of Managed Democracy can now be spread to the Rim.

Actually scratch that about the VE Team, taranchuk did work on Insectoids expanded. I definitely think this should be fixed, it could be very bad if the circumstances are right

If there’s too many hellpods in a group, some of the pawns landing in the hellpods can be damaged by other hellpods landing before them. I’ve had a colonist lose a stomach from this, if I was unluckier they could’ve lost a vital organ and instantly died through no fault of my own. It would be nice if you could fix this, but this might be the VE teams problem instead

Glad to help dude, I couldn't even start my own helldivers playthrough once I got this idea in my head. "Hmm, maybe I'll spend money I probably don't have and wait a month or two?" lol

Words cannot describe how happy I am about this mod. For months I've been trying to make a proper Helldiver ship (forgot the name mb) but I couldn't. But now, this has given the ability to do so.

FOR SUPER EARTH

Hey everyone! Thanks for waiting! Finally got around to asking Taranchuk to update this for me. Sorry, I've been pretty busy with school. Hellpods now have 2x thier previous speed, which was the exact same as a vanilla transport pod.

I think the required items is bugged, I'm not able to select it. it should be a requirement in the mod's code itself though.

shouldn't Vanilla Factions Expanded - Insectoids 2 be listed as a requirment under the required items list?

Any word on making the pods move faster?

Absolutely love that you used me as an example as a peak helldiver! Perhaps someone may get a few hundred Super Credits in their mail this Super-Friday.

@Thomas: The space map that your ship is on is associated with a specific tile on the world map. Moving the ship in space unfortunately does not move this tile. The same issue exist when using transport pods. This isn't a bug.

Can we get a side mod that just replaces normal drop pods with these hellpods without SOS2?

Howdy!

Just a small FYI I may or may not have found a bug D: (Could be caused by my very exhaustive list of mods loaded lol)
When moving the ship in SoS2, the Hellpod range doesn't update to the new position of the ship.

Other than that, the mod looks great :D

@DeathTomato appreciate it, I'm getting a modlist together for an SoS 2 run where we'll have some outposts across the planet and use drop pods to QRF bases with space marine support.

Love the mod. when rotating the launcher one of its sprite is reversed. The left rotate, idk what to call it

Not sure about the sound upon launch I'll take a look when I have time, but the pods definitely should be faster, thanks for the suggestion It could be a while though, apologies

Love the mod, but I have two questions for you. Could you increase the pod movement rate to be significantly faster than drop pods so they'd be better for quick responses?

And is there a way where you could make it play a sound file when pods are launched?

@edward, i think it could potentially be a mod conflict on your end, could you share any more details?

but most importantly, they look way cooler lol

they can travel farther, create an explosion upon impact, and they stay embedded in the ground with the items they contain for your colonists to grab

Is there a difference between normal transport pods and these?

WAOW amazing

its there just cant see it

so i cant see the hell pod once it lands

Traveling using hellpods should be much cheaper on chemfuel now, check the changelog for details!

Thank you for the temporary fix at least!

Actual fix would require C#, did some digging into SOS 2 code and :(

Hellpod launcher fuel capacity has been increased from 150 to 1500. While longer flights will obviously be pretty expensive, you can fly much further now. Taranchuk is working on how to decrease the amount of chemfuel needed to travel per world tile. Hope this helps for now!

scout a tile using the ship's sensors*

I'm doing some brainstorming to try and figure out a quick fix, hang in there for a bit longer guys, in the meantime, to readjust a ship's position, scout a tile, land there, then launch from that tile to change the ship's orbital position.

Please at least urge SOS 2 team to actually fix vanilla drop pods :(

INTO HELL WE DIVE!!!
DEMOCRACY ARRIVES!!!
DO WHATEVER FREEDOM REQUIRES!!!
SAY FAREWELL AND CRY!!!
SUPER EARTH WILL NEVER DIE!!!
WE ARE THE HELLDIVERS!!!

This is cool. Can we get a simple retexture version without the SOS2?
