📋 About This Mod
This mod is now deprecated in favor of the new heat sink restrictions toggle in the YAML options!
This mod "only" introduces heat sink installation restrictions for the heat sink kits from Yet Another Equipment Collection.
Different heat sink types cannot be mixed anymore and require a compatible heat sink kit. So in order to equip double heat sinks
one first needs to install a double heat sink kit, the same for Clan or Compact Heat Sinks.
