📋 About This Mod
This mod adds new upgrade module for prawn suit - thrusters optimizer. It allows thrusters to work longer before need to recharge (by default it is 2x longer). This module is non-stackable. It unlocks along with vanilla Prawn Suit Jump Jet Upgrade. You can craft it on Fabricator (Prawn Suit Upgrades).
ItemID is "PrawnThrustersOptimizer".
Also this mod improves vanilla jump jet upgrade allowing it to work above water, but it will use additional thrust and power.
All parameters are configurable in config.json in mod folder, default values are more or less balanced.
config.json:
-
[]increaseThrustReserve (default: 2. 0) : how much longer thrusters will work. Be aware that recharge speed remains the same, so it will take more time to fully recharge.

It dosen't change jet behaviour under the water.[]additionalThrustConsumptionAboveWater (default: 3. 0) : how much additonal thrust used above water, with default value it is total 4x times more than under water

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 798 endorsements and nearly 24k downloads — this mod is tried and tested.
- Fixes a long-standing annoyance: the jump jet finally works on land, making Prawn traversal above water viable.
- The added upgrade extends thruster burn time, giving you more airtime for exploration or escape.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in November 2021 — may not be compatible with newer Subnautica updates or modding frameworks.
- Scope is narrow: only changes jump jet behavior and thruster recharge, nothing else.
For Subnautica players who love the Prawn Suit and want it to work better on land, especially when exploring islands or bases above water. Also for completionists who want every upgrade module. Skip if you only play underwater or want broader Prawn enhancements.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Craft the new thruster upgrade at a Vehicle Upgrade Console and slot it into your Prawn's upgrade panel to activate the longer burn time.
- If you're new to Subnautica modding, install QModManager first, then drop this mod's folder into your QMods directory.
