Steer your hellpod onto rooftops and structures. Works after the EAC update.
Stock, the game puts invisible no-steer zones around buildings and other structures when it generates the map. Your hellpod gets pushed out of them, and a stratagem you throw into one gets moved somewhere else. This mod stops the map generator from adding those zones.
It does the same thing as CowboyBingus' Hellpod Steering Unlocked (Vanilla Plus Megapack). That version needed the Bingus Shared Loader, which stopped working with the October 20 update. This one is a plain archive patch: no Lua, no loader, no installer step.
What changes
Install (HD2 Mod Manager or HD2 Arsenal)
Uninstall
Untick it and deploy.
How it works
The map generator reads a table of every object it can place. Objects flagged for hellpod avoidance get a no-steer zone around them. The mod replaces that table with a copy where only those flags are cleared; nothing else in it changes.

What changes
- Steer your hellpod onto rooftops and other structures that used to push you away.
- Stratagems you throw onto rooftops and high ground land there instead of being moved aside. Pairs well with Stratagem Balls Stay Put, so the ball doesn't roll off first.
- Big terrain (steep hills, cliffs) is a separate rule in the game and is not changed: the game still pushes your pod off those.
Install (HD2 Mod Manager or HD2 Arsenal)
- Close the game. Add the zip to the mod manager and tick it.
- Deploy. That's it, there's no exit-and-relaunch step.
Uninstall
Untick it and deploy.

Requirements and compatibility
- A mod manager (HD2 Mod Manager or HD2 Arsenal).
- Made for the current game version (October 22 hotfix, build 26088801). The mod carries its own copy of the table, so after a game update, untick it until an updated version is out.
- Works with the settings-file mods (Stratagem Balls Stay Put, Shallow Water Diving, Consistent Vaulting, Medic File Mod Merger) - it changes a different part of the game.
- Doesn't work together with other mods that replace the same map-generation table.
- Tested solo and in multiplayer.
