Lookup Configurable Parameters, that adjusts armor for light and heavy armor, small or large.

Can someone (or yourself, Ace) do this for bulletproof glass?!! That would be very useful, maybe not 10x, but more health for them would be wonderful

Haven't played SE ever since the DLC got more expensive than the game but even so I wanted to give this mod the Kudos it deserves. This mod is the single mod that lets non-scifi-shield playthroughs be reasonable.

very nice mod
I have always thought that there is not enough advantage as to justify using some heavy armor over spamming light armor over the same area

I made an error in my prior calculation.
Default large-grid heavy armor cube integrity: 15,000 + 1,500 = 16,500
With this mod: 15,000 + 15,000 = 30,000
30,000 / 16,500 = 1.8181... +82% integrity.
Small grid varies between +50% and +118%, depending on the given block (cube = +96%).

This mod is very basic; if it breaks, it'll be easy to fix.

Given that 150/200 components in a heavy armor block are steel plates, this mod only makes heavy armor ~45% stronger than vanilla.

To adjust the strength of light armor, either a damage reduction percentage must be added, or the integrity of steel plates must be increased. Neither are the point of this mod.

Will this mod be updated regularly?
Or kept up to date if things break?

Or is there a possibility to adjust the integrity of not only heavy blocks but light blocks as well?

As I said in the previous post, I'm hoping to find a mod at between 3-5x stronger than vanilla, but I'm thinking 10x would be a bit much.
Harbinger Ace  [author] 25 Nov, 2019 @ 6:39pm 
@Bishop22 Correct. This mod will make the metal grids in all blocks 10x as resistant to damage. Absolutely nothing else is touched.

Practically, this mod is only beneficial to heavy armor, since all other blocks using metal grids will lose function before the metal grids can protect them.
Misfit_Panda 25 Nov, 2019 @ 3:34pm 
So this mod doesn't change anything other than making blocks that use metal grids to be able to take more damage?

I am looking for a good mod that will let my armor blocks take x3 - x4 more damage
Vanilla blocks seem to be a bit fragile
