About this mod
Rework of various procedural technology upgrades.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
- Donations
You know that little recharge bar you get when you install an environmental upgrade to your exosuit? That always pissed me off. Why do I need to manage more stuff when I upgrade something? This led me to figuring out and reworking the procedural technology upgrades so I wouldn't have to do that anymore. I also hated that I needed to take up a suit slot for something that is worthless in most environments; at least give me something!
Neutron Cannon X-Class Upgrades
Environmental and Underwater Suit Upgrades
Mining Laser Upgrades
Exosuit Shield Upgrades
I've spent a lot of time building this LUA so that I (or you) can easily change to or add other technology groups. Any of the procedural technologies can be altered with this LUA - That's basically everything the four vendors sell next to the appearance modification station. If you have ideas, let me know. If you are unfamiliar with mods, just know that all changes to the same file have to be in one mod, so if you want to change multiple procedural technologies, you can't do it with multiple mods.
Current Issues

Neutron Cannon X-Class Upgrades
- Makes X-class bonuses extend from the bottom of C-class to better than S-class, like all other upgrades.
Environmental and Underwater Suit Upgrades
- General design philosophy is that these upgrades should encourage you to keep them installed, rather than only keeping them when in that particular situation. As such, they grant bonuses outside their specific specialty.
- Hazard protection upgrades now work somewhat like X-Class hazard protection, granting resistance to elements, not a battery-powered shield.
- Hazard protection upgrades can grant generic hazard protection bonuses and underwater bonuses.
- Underwater upgrades also work by extending your time, not on a rechargeable tank.
- Recently rebalanced, so leave feedback.
Mining Laser Upgrades
- Added three abilities to the upgrade pool
- Added Optical Drill style bonus minerals to the upgrade pool
- Very slightly adjusted the bonuses so higher classes are never worse than lower classes.
Exosuit Shield Upgrades
- Rescaled each level to make them more distinct and avoid overlap
- Made max stat types 1 on C and B class

Current Issues
- If you try to give more than 4 bonuses to an upgrade, it will break the installed upgrade description.
- Some of the names are broken in a few of the upgrades.
- The bonuses will need a LOT of balancing. If you want to help, install and test this in various environments, then post feedback. I can upload different versions later with different bonus amounts.
