Rapid Shuttle designator - how to make your own shuttle?

We were free golems this round and we tried to make shuttle but it kept giving errors like “its connected to lavaland” " Select docking port" Nothing really worked
Anyone has any wiki page or knowledge about this ? I have no clue how this works but seems cool.

I haven’t tried building on lavaland, but I’m 99% sure it’s doable

Make an airtight room with an airlock on an area that isn’t a “room” already, use the designator inside to designate the shuttle, then use it on the airlock that will function as the docking port when you dock at station. Add engine, heater, piping to connect plasma canister. Put down nav consoles and an apc and its ready to go.

Also, don’t build your shuttle on pre-existing flooring, such as the empty floored area outside cargo. My shuttle took off with half the flooring stuck in place, ripping a huge hole in it and leaving behind my engines

Currently a PR to fix shuttles not working on lavaland but it isn’t merged yet.

From what i read on wiki it says it takes 1 hour to make a shuttle? Damn thats really a lot
The fuel being plasma means it neeeds to be station wide effort pretty much.
To be honest this mechanic is being wasted i could play play 100 rounds and i wont see one.
It would be great if we had pre made shuttles on station which need high access or something, buying shuttles would be nice too.
