This mod requires Vehicle Framework. It works for all VF vehicles as well as Seamoth / Prawn / Cyclops.
You might need to enable "force arms compat" in the VF options if you want to use it in every VF vehicle.
It replicates the functionality of the base-game's thermal reactor upgrade for both Prawn and Cyclops.
It takes effect automatically after being added to a vehicle, and the effect stacks.
It will begin charging the vehicle at 30 degrees C, and reaches max charge rate at 90 degrees C.
When added to a vehicle, it will boost its thermal defenses. Most vehicles will take damage starting at 70 degrees C, but this upgrade increases that to 90 degrees C.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
