This mod requires Vehicle Framework. It works for all VF vehicles as well as Seamoth / Prawn / Cyclops.
The Nano-Weave Barrier is the latest in submersible defensive technology, designed to provide unparalleled protection against the myriad of dangers that lurk beneath the waves. Crafted from the finest synthetic fibers and reinforced with a lattice of diamond-hard nanostructures, this module weaves a near-impenetrable mesh around your vessel. This protective layer works dynamically to dissipate energy from aggressive fauna attacks, ensuring your submarine's integrity even in the face of unyielding leviathans. Stackable and energy-efficient, the Nano-Weave Barrier is for the explorer who refuses to let the dangers of the deep dictate their journey.

How to use:
Just put it in your submarine. That's it. You don't need to activate it. Every Nano-Weave Barrier you add decreases the damage taken from normal sources by another 10%. So at one module, your sub takes 90% damage. With two modules, your sub takes 81% damage. With 8 modules, your sub takes about 43% damage from these sources. This doesn't protect you against collision, and it doesn't protect you against heat. Instead, it protects you from bites and swipes from leviathans as well as a few other sources of damage.
