Readable suit protection warnings

The description above says it all, really. But...

Your character (assuming they've equipped a helmet, spacesuit and pack) has a level of suit protection. In hazardous places, this soaks up environmental damage until it's depleted, and you start actually getting hurt. (And there are resistances to various kinds of environmental damage and so on.) But there's no way to tell how exactly how much protection you've gone through and how much you have left. There are symbols on the watch that flash, and a noise that beeps, and both of these speed up as there's less and less left. But it's all very imprecise.

And, weirdly, I couldn't find any existing mods that filled this niche. So I made one. It sends a notification when half of your protection is gone. It sends another when you've only got 20% protection left. And it sends a final, more urgent message if you have just 5% protection left (uh oh!)

To make it more exciting than plain text messages, the watch also flashes 'SUIT INTEGRITY' (that was the most suitable alert of the ones available). I spent a while trying to get an actual message to appear on the watch, and I think it would be possible to get custom text through use of hazard objects, but I couldn't figure it out so I kept things simple. Also, this way the alert appears immediately, regardless of how many other alerts the watch wants to show first.

This is most useful if you're playing with the harder environmental damage settings or other overhauls. It's a very minimal mod, telling you when it's important without being too intrusive or annoying. It doesn't actually provide constant exact values, but at least it gives some idea of how close you are to getting hurt and when it's time to find shelter.

Compatibility

Hopefully 100%. It doesn't modify any existing game components, and while damage/realism overhauls might change how damage is applied and what damages you and how you can resist it and that sort of thing, the suit protection system is pretty fundamental and I bet they use the same variable that this mod checks.

Customisability

None. It's an invisible mod that should "just work" (which includes no way to tell if it's active without triggering a message). Go stand on a gas vent for a few seconds, I guess. Sorry, the values that trigger the alerts can't currently be changed in-game. Easy to change in the creation kit though.

Installation/Uninstallation

Removing it should be fine at any time. Like I said, it doesn't modify anything in the game.

There's no requirements to install it, but if you happen to load a save where it was already partially-depleted, it might not start working until your suit protection fully regenerates. It should, but it got less testing than the rest because it's such a tiny issue.
