nah, beams are not made stronger, this mod just yeets the penalty you get for being big and as a secondary result the keels you get in the game become diffrent, rather than partially removing the penality and giving you extra HP spread out over the ship(it does those two things) it only gives you that HP buff which may be more or less effective than normal

oh, guess nvm XD thanks fro letting me know. I thought this mod increased the str of the beams as well.

at least, this is my current understanding of the game's methods and madness,

My mod doesn't add any HP, it removes the penalty, if you want to add HP you need to make modules have "shipHPBonus": 750 , in the past(versions of the game older than ~1,5 years) you could increase adjacent HP of modules with "adjacencyBonusStrength": 1.0, where the number being higher than 1 gives you a large amount of extra HP for modules touching it

Oh, not looking to go negative. Looking to double the extra amount of health your mod adds.

The game doesn't take negatives, I once tried to make it go into reverse while experimenting, but it would only take 0 or a positive number and negative numbers didn't do anything other than what 0 would do

Was trying to adjust this mod and couldn't get it to take my new numbers Would like to double the effect.

@dictator putski, you can, all i did was modefy some stats in settings.json, you could just go and make a better keel module by cranking up the stats of it

Thank you

@Señor_Sombrero, yes, it will act as like before the structual update where it will boost the ships hp overall by the total amount shown in bonus hp

What if you add a keel to a ship with this mod installed? Will it just stack hp?

Cataclysm, you should make Bipedal Humanoid Legs.

also if anyone wants alternate versions of this mod let me know.

alternate versions being a negative increase, more wiggle-room or less steep of a hp decrease

this is simpler as it does it everywhere, the keel would add another thing to your designs and if the mod/game updated it could potentially break them, this one mods the game-settings and leaves your modules alone

however if you(or anyone that needs this mod) want to play with said modules there is a structural brace in my Cataclystic expansion mod that helps with this problem and is much compacter than a normal keel

i was gonna make a mod similiar to this except it was a keel you put on your ship but i guess this is better

YOU DESERVE A MEDAL

anyone let me know if their big unkeeled ships go up in a poof if they get shot a little bit.
