For comparison, an adult [[human]] weighs {{Q|Human|Mass - Adult}} kg before equipment. Pods can be launched as a group, if their [[pod launcher]]s are directly adjacent. When in groups, the game intentionally ignores individual pod capacity: for example, a group of 2 transport pods (300 kg) can hold a 280kg [[elephant]] in 1 pod, while the other pod will have 20 kg of capacity remaining. It is possible to load prisoners and [[downed]] pawns. |
When items are selected, haulers will immediately proceed to load the pods. Only one colonist may load a pod at a time. If a colonist is part of the load, that colonist will prioritize loading the pod, even if they are otherwise incapable of hauling.

− | + | *Manned pods can choose to form caravans on any empty tile. When pods, manned or unmanned, are dropped on an existing caravan, their contents are instantly merged into the caravan. | |
− | All pods, | + | *When dropping on a player visible map (event maps with colonists present, colonies, and/or the map the launcher itself is on), players can choose the pods' exact drop point. You cannot drop into [[overhead mountain]]. |
− | + | **Be careful with the landing site. Pods can go through other types of roof; while the pod doesn't deal any damage directly, the collapsing roof can damage nearby items. | |
− | All unmanned pods dropped | + | *If targeting on an base or event location ''without'' colonists present, the player choose to drop at the edge or center. Note that this is always considered an attack if performed on a faction base. |
− | + | *All pods, including those with colonists, can be gifted to a faction base. The cargo is lost, and you'll gain [[goodwill]] proportional to the [[market value]] of the items and pawns in the pods. | |
− | + | **Unmanned pods are always considered a gift. Returning a pawn, whenever prisoner or downed, back to their faction gives an extra goodwill boost. Some factions do not care about goodwill, and sending them goods does nothing. | |
− | + | *All unmanned pods dropped onto an empty tile - i.e. not on a caravan, player visible map, faction base - is completely lost with no compensation. | |
− | + | ** [[Toxic wastepack]]s {{BiotechIcon}} disposed of this way will cause pollution - as with other ways of dumping wastepacks, this will annoy and potentially provoke factions within 15 tiles. | |
