A transport pod carries pawns and/or items through the lower atmosphere across the world map up to 66 tiles away. A pod can only be constructed on a pod launcher. Transport pods are one-time use only.=====Creating a Pod Group===== A pod can be launched individually or with others. To select multiple pods for a launch group, use one of the following methods:

• Double-click a pod to select all pods on the screen.
• Hold shift and click each pod.
• Draw a selection box around the pods.

Loading Pods

Once the desired pods are chosen, click the 'Load launch group X' button (X indicates the number of pods). A window appears to choose what pawns or items to load. Each pod holds up to 150 kg. Colonists will immediately proceed to load the pods.

Launching Pods

Once the pods have been loaded, clicking the 'Launch group' button opens the world map to select a destination. The maximum range, based on the launcher's amount of fuel, is indicated by a white border. Selecting a tile not occupied by a faction base will immediately launch the pod group. Selecting an enemy faction base prompts to drop at the edge or drop at the center.
