Modular Space Suits

Overview

Modular Space Suits not only protect players from the vacuum of space, but also offer various components that can be used to enhance the player in other ways.

The Space Suits themselves can be crafted in a crafting table, however components must be added to the suit in the Suit Workstation.

Usage

The space suit by itself does not provide any armor, however it will also not take any damage or disintegrate.

The Modular spacesuit can be used like any other set of armor, just put it on. However without any components installed the only protection the spacesuit provides is protection against the vacuum of space.

The space suit will prevent damage in space only if all the pieces are worn and there is some oxygen in the chestplate's tank.

Unlike the hydrogen fuel required for the jetpack, the chestplate has its own internal oxygen storage tank which provides 30 minutes of oxygen by default (see "spaceSuitO2Buffer" in config file).


The internal tank can be filled with oxygen by stepping on a powered Gas Charge Pad containing Oxygen gas. Pressure tanks mounted in the suit can be charged in a similar manner.

When wearing a Chestplate an O2 bar will appear above the food bar indicating the amount of Oxygen stored in the suit. IF a jetpack is mounted in the chestplate, a red H2 fuel bar will also appear.

When wearing the modular helmet, a display indicating what components are installed on what parts of the suit in the top left corner of the screen.
