📋 About This Mod
Seamoth Air Bladder
Add an emergency ascent module to your Seamoth
Overview
This mod adds a new upgradeable module for the Seamoth that allows for rapid emergency ascents. The air bladder module provides a quick escape option when you need to reach the surface fast.
Features
Emergency Ascent System
Activate the air bladder module to rapidly ascend to the surface. The module depletes air while active and automatically deflates when you reach the surface.
Limited Air Supply
The bladder contains 100 units of air that depletes during use. Manage your ascents carefully to avoid running out mid-rise.
Automatic Recharging
Air automatically recharges when you're near the surface, or docked in a moonpool or cyclops. No manual intervention required.
Visual HUD Indicator
A circular bar appears next to the module slot showing your remaining air at all times.
Persistent State
Air levels are saved per vehicle and persist across game sessions. Each Seamoth maintains its own air state.
Configurable Buoyancy
Adjust the ascent speed through the in-game options menu to match your preference.
Single Module Limit
Only one air bladder module can be installed per Seamoth.
