Drop pods that can remain closed

[Rock5]

Loading drop pods can take A LONG TIME. That's ok if it's only one hop. But if you have a string of 5 bases like me, getting a lot of resources from my first base to the last base is just too much.

I suggest that drop pods remain closed. You mark them to be opened and a colonist goes open them. Once opened the contents get dumped on the floor as usual.

This way you have the option to move the pod onto another launch pad and launch it to the next base. Or maybe you could move it to a better location before opening it.

Or another option is to have some sort of crate that holds a number of items. You could load these crates onto the drop pods like anything else and they will be dumped on the ground when the drop pod lands. You could then easily move the crates to drop pods and launch them to your next base.

As a caveat (am I using that word right?) you would make the crates really slow to move because they would be too heavy to pick up, you would have to drag or push them.
