Movable Status Pods
Partially by request, partially because "why not?", this mod allows Status Pods, everybody’s favorite roulette wheel, to be moved, placed, and replaced as much as desired. Not even their own bombs can destroy them, instead just displacing them so that they can be picked up and placed again!
This mod does NOT change the vanilla effects of the pod – placing and using one will still have a chance to spawn negative effects, as well as ore bombs allowed by local threat level.
If I place this on my ship, will it spawn ore bombs?
Theoretically yes, but no higher than copper ore, as ships were locked to Tier 1 regardless of upgrade level in a previous patch.
Does that mean I can bling out my ship in copper ore?!
Sadly no, at least not in vanilla. The effects of the pod will not take on protected tiles. "Build your own ship" mods that remove tile protection on ships, however, should take care as the bombs can destroy unprotected blocks like normal.
Are they reusable?
Yes. The vanilla reset timer, 15 minutes, has not been changed. However, if you use a pod, pick it up, and then place it again it will instantly reset, so take that into consideration in terms of balance.
