Escape Pod

The Escape Pod delivers a Duplicant from a stranded rocket to the nearest Planetoid. It is a rescue-oriented building used when a rocket can no longer continue its mission and one crew member needs to be sent back to safety instead of remaining trapped aboard.

Its role is straightforward: it does not transport cargo, and it does not move the whole crew. It extracts a single Duplicant from the rocket and places them on the closest Planetoid, making it a last-resort recovery option rather than a routine travel system. Because it is tied specifically to stranded or immobilized rockets, it is most relevant in situations where a rocket has run out of fuel or otherwise cannot proceed.

• Use it when a rocket is stuck and a Duplicant needs to be evacuated.
• It sends only one Duplicant at a time.
• The destination is the nearest Planetoid, not a chosen location.
• It is intended for emergency recovery, not regular interplanetary travel.
