Baller af, can't wait!

@fancypants4000 Indeed there will be! I don't use Discord, so no updates there, sadly, but I can tell you here that the code is 100% done (and there is a lot of it!) and I am now just making stats for the armor upgrades and drawing icons for them. It's going pretty well, and I am hoping to release it by Christmas. And the way I made it means that literally any piece of apparel (in Vanilla and in any mods) can be easily modified to be compatible with the new system! It's just a matter of adding 10 or so lines to the .XML

@Korn Sarum the Virtuous I love your Vagar mods, I saw that on aug 20th you said that there will be a expansion to your power armor as a mod. I was wondering if there is a discord or something for updates.

@Vond Are you using it with a Vagar bodyglove underneath? The armor itself protects from physical damage and heat, but you need the bodyglove to stay warm.

Enjoying the series of mods so far, but I was wondering
I noticed the armor has vac resistance, that is good.
But it doesnt seem to have enough warmth to last very long in orbit situations.
Even with a Bodyglove underneath, the wearer just doesnt have enough insulation or heating to protect from the cold vacuum of orbit.
Any chance of a update to the cold insulation, or possibly a winterized version, maybe a small accessory to keep the wearer warm in the cold reaches of space
Anyway, Thanks for the Mod series, they've been a fave

@Korn Sarum the Virtuous I also would have accepted "MORE LORE?!"

In all seriousness, I added this for my "Warhammer 40K with the serial numbers filed off" run, but the amount of care you've put into the item descriptions for these mods, and the mods themselves, have made me decide that I'm going to keep them as a late-game weapons option.

@dagoonite As I release further mods - sure

Can... Can I have s'more lore, sir?

@AtlasTheReaper Yes, it will be

Will that faction also be it's own mod?

@Kessap I'm m glad to hear it! I plan to continue making mods in this series. Once I am back from vacation, I plan to work on a mod that will let you add subsystems to powered armor (extra plating, integrated jump pack etc.). After that I will most likely switch to making the Vagar an actual faction.

How come I discover this mod only now Oo This is so nice! All the content from your serie I tried so far made the game so much better, and it's all so neat and balanced. GG

@Korn Thanks! And happy to offer ideas :)
I'll just put them on a backpack for now, and gladly update it if/when you manage what you can.
Happy vacationing!

@PartyCowboy Sadly, not at the moment( But that is actually a good idea, I will try to implement it once I am back from vacation!

@Red that might be related to their commonality. I feel like it needs to be toned down across all weapons to reduce how often they show up.

Hey just wanted to mention that the Branx and Balor bolt pistols might be too cheap in market value, causing them to be super common in raids. I normally don't care too much about this but they are cheaper than bolt actions and pump shotguns but do almost 2 times more damage.

Otherwise just wanted to say I love the mod!

Love the mod and how you implemented the bitmask for providing a weapon with necessary supplies.
Quick question for transferring the power/ammo/fuel pack comp to some other mod's backpack and gear: does the bitmask for the various supplies (power, data, coolant, shells, fuel) need to be contained on the same item, or can it be spread over multiple gear items?

I.e. can the power come from the backpack, the data from the helmet, and idk the coolant from the boots? Or does the entire bitmask need to be on one item?

Thanks!

I just installed the dev version of CE to play with cause I tried to manually patch the weapons and it went horribly. Combat reloaded is such a weird mod when it comes to armor I had found a normal quality bearskin duster that had better damage resistance than my good cataphract armor

@Bonbon Most likely you are right. Haven't looked at that mod myself, but off the top of my head I would assume that the weapons wouldn't get patched for compatibility since the patch is invoked only when CE is present in the mod list. What you could try is copy that mod to a local folder and manually change its ID to match that of CE. I estimate a 40% chance of it breaking everything though ^_^

not really asking for a fix just giving a heads up lol

I think its conflicts with a mod I have but pawns refuse to shoot with any of the weapons and it looks like they are missing tags on the weapons (I'm using vanilla combat reloaded until combat extended updates)

@SynonymToastCrunch If you are playing Vanilla, the penetration is entirely probability-based. Which is why I recommend switching to Combat Extended, where armor penetration is deterministic.

In base Rimworld, rabbits can bite through cataphract armour. It's not likely, but it can happen. If your pawn was wearing oakbreaker, they simply got unlucky.

Am I missing something regarding the armors strength? One of my pawns had his heart blown out with sawed-off.

I'm assuming theyre more "Sol*r Auxilia" and not "Ast*rtes"?

@DaMax You're welcome!

This mod so awesome, thx for updating it

aight Thanks!

@Kynn Same way you would change the vanilla armor colors: at a styling station.

how can i change the color of armor?

@Lord Felix There is no easy way to do that. You'd have to remake the Def of VOV_Bolt_base from scratch.

Love the mod, but any chance I can turn of the bullet trail?

@Nikkö: yes.

is the blue power armor vaccum sealed?
C-can i has marines in space?

@Necromenta That's good to hear!

@AtlasTheReaper Ugh, yes. Originally I intended to release it before adding CE compatibility since it wasn't updated to 1.6 yet, however, since the CE dev build seems to be running fine, I decided to implement compatibility before releasing it. Which means making art for several new ammo types etc. It is almost done, I only need to make the icons for the 85mm rockets and edit the .XMLs.

Just wanted to follow up to my comment; The mod works well, I'm just stupid and was trying to make the pawn shoot when they had a ranged shield

we ned more vagar, i love tis mod

seems the machine gun doesn't work when CE is enabled, is doesn't shoot

Heavy addon delayed a bit or what?

@MercCaptain Not anytime soon. I plan to focus on personal equipment at the moment.

Looking forward to the heavy weapons mod!

Meltas will work in a similar fashion in both Vanilla and CE: they will create a conical AoE in front of the user that will damage everything that gets hit, with the damage scaling down the further the target is from the user. In essence, it will work like it does in Space Marine 1 & 2. This means that the shooter's skill will not play a part in determining if the shot hits.

I'm glad my suggesting for Melta was good enough to add, mind if I ask whatcha did for the CE side of it? I remember you saying you wanted to do something unique for it.

No, meltas will come soon as part of the heavy weapons addon. Meltas are a bit too niche to have a large number of different versions, so I put them in with the other heavy weapons. Speaking of which, it is 90% done, I just need to finish the Steam page for it, so it would be safe to expect it by this weekend.

I suspect melta will be a different addon. Korn usually limits his addons to one specific kind of weapon.

Is Heavy Weapons going to also include the Melta weapons? I saw the research item in the tree.

Okay, I thought it would be the Oakbreaker armor, but I wanted to be sure before starting a play through with the mod.

Any updates on the addon? Also saw Melta in the research tab.

@tankHUnt3r Of course! The Oakbreaker set is void-proof!

Does the armor void seal for Odyssey?
