This mod requires Vehicle Framework. It works for all VF vehicles as well as Seamoth / Prawn / Cyclops.
Crabsquids sometimes create EMPs that temporarily disable nearby vehicles.
If the vehicle has a protection module installed, it will activate at that time, draining power but preventing the vehicle from being disabled.
I'd like to see the source code!
A Vehicle Framework upgrade module for Subnautica that prevents Crabsquids from disabling your vehicle at a small cost. With 118 endorsements and over 11k downloads, it's a niche but popular quality-of-life mod for players tired of EMP attacks.

✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 118 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
