📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 21.5k endorsements show the community loves it.
- Lets you use mech armor without enabling Space Age, perfect for vanilla+ runs.
- Simple concept, likely just works without extra setup.
⚠️ Cons

This is for Factorio players who own Space Age but want to keep their playthrough vanilla or with other mods that don't support Space Age. It's also for those who miss the mech armor when playing without the expansion enabled.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you've purchased Space Age in your account, even if you don't enable it in the mod settings.
- If you're using other mods that change armor or technology, test in a sandbox world first to avoid conflicts.
- This mod is for the base game with Space Age disabled; don't enable it if you're already playing with Space Age active.
