📋 About This Mod
Massive update: 1. 1. 5
Mech changes
1. Fusion engines changes-
-
[]Overhauled how engines effect the overall speed of your mech.
[
]Rule of thumb to determine the size of a mech's intended engine is by multiplying the mech's max weight by 3.[]Speed can be increased further by removing current tonnage from a mech.
-
[]Ferro-Mithral Weave, A ferro-armor alloy with a tensile strength rating of 200 per ton that primarily consists of Mithral metal and somewhat decreases mech's cooling efficiency.
[]Ferro-Obdurium Weave, a ferro-armor alloy with a tensile strength rating of 130 per ton that primarily consists of obdurium metal and somewhat increases mech's heating efficiency.
[]Ferro-Kladenium Weave, An alloy for creating Ferro-armor with high concentration of Kladenium metal and with a tensile strength rating of 300 per ton. (Two types of metals may be used per mech part by utilizing the structure slots, head and center torso share alloy used.)
[]Ferro-Organic Weave, A ferro-armor alloy with a tensile strength rating of 110 per ton that primarily consists of organic and inorganic components and somewhat increases mech's healing efficiency.
[]Organic Steel, Organic Steel is a material that combines the durability and strength of traditional steel with the self-healing properties of organic tissues. Unlike traditional steel, which is entirely inorganic, Organic Steel contains a unique blend of organic and inorganic components that give it the ability to repair itself when damaged and has a tensile strength rating of 100 per ton. (Two types of metals may be used per mech part by utilizing the structure slots, head and center torso share alloy used.)
3. Oil pressure -
[]Oil pressure can be lost when limbs are heavily damage and causes the mech to suffer heat efficiency penalties until the lines are repressurized.
[]Equipment can be installed to help prevent your mech from losing oil pressure and or speed up the time it takes to repressurize the oil lines.
