Description

This mod adds the Stone Guardian armor pieces and dedicated technologies for the Minotaur exocraft. In order to acquire these parts, players need to fight the ancient stone automata (the mechs, not the floaters). Upon death these enemies will drop new Memory Stones (similarly to loot barrels dropped by Sentinels). Interacting with these stones will trigger a reward action:

  • 50% chance to learn a blueprint for 1 of 4 stone mech technology modules: legs, right arm, left arm, chassis
  • 50% chance to earn a Glowing Mineral which can be examined for various rock-related goodies

The technology modules have been based off existing Sentinel Hardframe modules, but since they are ancient technology their stats and class have been reduced.

DISCLAIMER:

The execution of the mod is far from perfect, there are some obvious issues that couldn't be addressed properly at this time (ex. mech firing laser / projectiles from invisble top turret instead of its arms).
