What was your idea for balancing? Right now it seems there's no reason not to just use a standard suit. At least the warsuit mkii offers a lot of downsides. It doesn't make you invulnerable or super fast and in return you can't do anything like climb ladders or even swim without power and power is not interchangable nor long lasting. I think at least allowing it to use vanilla reactor rods would make it a little more usable and reduce some of the clutter from mods adding 10,000 new custom one use items.

I made these suits exactly as progressive updates to the standard one, so yes, once you get a better suit and enough energy for it, there is no point in going back to the regular one.
(although I haven’t decided how best to fit the new vanilla suits, so I didn’t change their stats too much)
And new rods were added because I wanted to keep them rechargeable as in the original mod "abyss warsuits", cause vanilla fuel rods in ITA (which I made this mod for) are very expensive, and using them as a disposable material for a short time would hit too hard within your pocket.

Hi again! I do have a suggestion about your fuel rods not stacking. Since the hotbar is the only place you can store them on you for now, would it not be better to at least allow a stack of 2? Or if not, maybe allow them in backpacks? Love your work either way, and this is just my thought on it.

Hi, I don't really like the stack system on everything, and I personally play with a modified version of Jlobblet Tweaks, but I think it is quite acceptable to return the ability to put them in a backpack. I am a little busy in the coming days, but after a while I will do it.

Well, understandable. In the recent days of playing, I too have become a bit annoyed by everything being able to stack. So yeah, keep them as a non-stackable I would say. Funny how oppinions change once you get a few mods. :) The backpack solution should be more than enough, and a huge thank you for listening in and taking things into consideration. Stay awesome and thanks again for a awesome mod.
