📋 About This Mod
Adds 14 skins to the Mantis spacesuit, helmet and backpack for you to mix and match with your crew via workbench.
This mod uses texture archives only, and will not add to the archive limit.
Small master file for zero plugin footprint.
Contains the following:
Black Red Yellow Pink Teal Olive Grey
White Green Orange Violet Brown Crimson Blue
Requires Spacesuit Design level 1.
Similar to the Mercury Skin Pack, I've also added a alternate way to acquire the suit without having to do the Mantis quest every time. This method allows you to create crafting schematics for the Mantis set so that you can craft yourself a new set whenever you jump through Unity.
Do not forget to drop and pick the schematics up again to unlock the recipes.
You can craft the Mandalor- Mantis set by using Beskar Astra.
These recipes will not flood your workbench if you do not have the required components needed. Always keep Astras ready.
So by the time Free Lanes update arrives on April 7, instead of storing these on the new unity storage, the space saved can be then used for other things you wish to keep, saving both on time and space.
Compatibility:
Will work with other skin mods (such as those from X2357's, increasing your skin options, huzzah)
and as well as earlier Mantis skin replacers (these will only affect the default skin).
Tools used:
Creation Kit
So you were saying about optional support for Mantis Mk. II?
- You also get 14 skins, and an alternate recipe for Mantis Mk. II. (See optional files)
- Requires the Trackers Alliance Complete Series Creation to work.
Thank you for taking your time to consider this mod! - kiné

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid niche pick with 55 endorsements and over 5k downloads
- Lightweight master file keeps your load order clean
- Optional Mantis Mk.II support means it plays nice with that popular mod
⚠️ Cons
- Only 14 skins might feel limited if you want a huge variety
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're flying blind on the look
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter the Mantis suit or workbench recipes
For Starfield players who love the Mantis suit and want more visual variety without heavy mods. If you're into armor skins and don't mind a smaller pack, this is a quick grab. Skip if you want gameplay changes or a massive skin collection.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a master file, place it early in your load order to avoid conflicts with other mods
- Use the workbench to apply skins—check your inventory for the alternate suit acquisition method
- If you use Mantis Mk.II, grab the optional patch to ensure compatibility
