📋 About This Mod
In honor of the now-defunct Cheatsinks mod, I have created my own variant to include Double and Clan-double Heatsinks, each of which offers improved heat management AND weight reduction! Bid adieu to your fears of being overtonned and
Description
Imagine Heatsinks.
Now imagine they made your life better in nearly every way.
Hi, I'm Discount Dan, and I'd like to invite you to join me at Discount Dan's Heat Management and Weight Loss Emporium. Got a few too many lasers on your Discoback? No worries! Driving a Locust that really wishes it could pack snub-nose PPCs? No problem! Hetzers running laps around you because you over-stuffed your Phoenix Hawk and now it can barely move at five kph under the weight of all those LRMs? Don't sweat it!
Discount Dan's got you covered.
Here at Discount Dan's Heat Management and Weight Loss Emporium, we specialize in unsanctioned unique solutions to the many problems 'Mech jockeys face when kitting out their favorite 'Mech. Heat too high, dissipation too low, tonnage to real? Don't worry about it! Discount Dan will get you on the battlefield, no questions asked. Our patent-pending Cheatsinks combine cutting-edge heat-radiation with stolen freshly-uncovered graviton-manipulation technology to ensure that no 'Mech is left behind!
Discount Dan Incorporated is not liable for any accidents involving black holes, the spontaneous generation of black holes in and around the battlefield, or the sudden appearance of a black hole in your stomach forcing you to consume three times your body weight per day to meet your necessary caloric intake. Discount Dan always pays his phone bills, and you should too, because the Phone Company is always watching, and they know when you've opened up a scrapyard on top of a Memory Core and are exploiting the LosTech inside to create horrific abominations to turn your average everyday Rotunda into a rolling weapon of mass destruction. Except when they don't. Don't tell ComStar. They'll kill you, and then we'll have to find another Memory Core for the tech to bring you back to life so we can kill you too. Don't question the product, and it won't question you. Discount Dan's Heat Management and Weight Loss Emporium accepts payment in C-bills, House bills, precious metals, high-quality gemstones, low-quality gemstones, orphan tears, orphan organs, and the priceless belongings of your dead relatives. Buy now!

THIS MOD OVERWRITES EXISTING HEAT SINK STATS ACROSS THE BOARD.
Disclaimer: if you have a mod that adds other heatsinks, it shouldn't affect those. Just the vanilla ones.
The raison-d'etre for this mod is that I downloaded YAML, played with it for a few months, and decided I wanted more flexibility in my weight limits.
