From full def to Patch
Still though, since you only change the fuel capacity, why not use a patch?
It would also increase compatibility with other mods by quite a huge margine, here is the code to do so:

<Patch> <Operation Class="PatchOperationReplace"><xpath>/Defs/ThingDef[defName="PodLauncher"]/comps/li[@Class="CompProperties_Refuelable"]/fuelCapacity</xpath> <value> <fuelCapacity>600.0</fuelCapacity> </value> </Operation> </Patch>

* Save it in an XML file
* put the XML file in the folder "Patches", and the "Patches" folder should be in the same folder as "About", but NOT in the "about folder" and don't but "patches" in any of the "1.1" "1.0" or "1.2"
* Then just delete the version folders - They are not at all neded, since all you actually do is change fuel capacity anyways..., and DONE.

If ever the game updates to v1.3 all you, more or less, needs to update, is the supported versions in the about.xml file...

what you have now is... well, not that compatible if another mod comes along to change it in some way.
The design of this mod, means that is should load as close to Core as possible, not last.

Using a patch, you can load it when ever, however, and is save game compatible too.

I never used CE, but lets say CE changes Transport pods. Instead of conflicting or reverting settings CE needs, now it only alters fuel, not everything regarding the transport pods which CE might do. Which means that you can load this before or after CE and there would hardly be any conflict, unless CE might change fuel capacity to something greater then 600.

And because of this patch, there would hardly be any conflicts with any other mod.

The only time this mod would break is if Tynan changes the defName of transport pods or something within the Def like the comps or even the "FuelCapacity" tag.

But it would be just a 5 minute patch overall. instead of having to look through 15 folders, now you just need to look through 2, and fix 1-2 words if ever such a change happens.
