Description

Map Wide Trade Beacon

Created by request, this mod makes a small change to trade ships, so that you can trade without the need to have trade beacons covering your entire base (possibly considered a cheat).

You only need one beacon (best placed outside so drop pods don't go through your roof) and trading with ships is just like trading with visiting caravans.

This can be added and removed from a current save without issues.

@Dennis, the description literally mentions it...
And the "drop pod spot" was likely never needed. In vanilla (at very least since 1.4), traders always drop the pods to an exposed trade beacon. If only one beacon is exposed, it will ALWAYS drop it at that beacon. If you have other exposed beacons, you can exclude them as drop spot by building a single roof over them. If all your beacons are covered, it likely lands randomly on the map or to the beacon that is closest to not being covered. Same goes for quest payments.

In most cases, "drop pod spot" isn't needed and their description is a bit misleading as it practically covers vanilla behavior.
