Each module gives a bonus and penalty according to what it does, their descriptions are pretty self-explanatory. Added several mech upgrade modules that can be equipped through the mech assembly interface. You can't change loadouts when your mech is deployed. A loadout is a set of items that are equipped on your mech that you can change with the click of a button on the mech loadouts screen (there are 3 loadouts availiable). Through that interface you can change your mech's loadouts. A brand new interface on the quickbar: the Mech Loadouts. You can switch your mech to flight mode anywhere double tapping the up button (w key as default), that is, as long as you have fuel left. Your mech's fuel count stays throughout your playthroughs and the universe.

The fuel bar decays normally as with vanilla energy. Specific fuel for mechs can be crafted using the Oil Distiller and the Fuel Refinery (check the updates section for more info). You can fuel your mech with oil, erchius or fuel through the mech fuel quickbar icon. Your mech's health bar will replenish automatically when you go back to your ship, your mech's fuel will not. Obviously the health bar depletes as you take damage and the fuel bar over time. This mod primarily replaces the old mech energy system with two separate bars: one for fuel and one for your mech's health. For you to be able to fuel your mech or change loadouts you NEED the QuickbarMini mod that comes bundled in the zip folder, just extract everything on the zip to your mods folder.Ĭheck out the mod on github if you want to follow development.Įver wanted to go on a 10 hour mining session or on a mob killing spree on your super buff mech without going back to you ship every 2 minutes?
