Hey, awesome mod, thank you! I'm doing some tests so will probably leave multiple comments.

unpowered armour seems to give you infinite stamina, you can exhaust yourself by exercising but it immediately disappears.

x -01 armour isn't really connected to the body, you can see this best if you don't wear clothes, there's paricularly a gap on the lower torso and the back piece. it might just be a case of moving the shoulders and back plate models closer to the body

51 looks great apart from a big gaps at the front of the elbow

the t60 looks the best out of all of them, though they all look a little odd with the frame, particularly the sides of the tanks on the back and the front belly, everywhere else looks appropriate since they'd be joints/weak points. I think it might look better if you darken the colour of the frame since all the armours are dark gray


because of the way armour works, zombies can just bite you through the armour. I saw in the comments you talked about not wanting it to be overpowered, but what I've seen with mods is either the zombies can never get through armour, or they can instantly get through armour, so I dunno if there's really a solution here

the frame itself gets destroyed immediately and can't be repaired. In this instance I think the frame should be indestructible and provide little protection, since it covers the whole body, any hits you take have to go through the frame (zomboid hits will go through every piece of armour if they go through, so an right arm bite results in a hole in your jacket right arm, shirt right arm, and any mod armour on top you may have, so in this case the clothing plus the arm piece PLUS the frame get holes, and 4 holes can destroy the frame entirely.) Although, even with it destroyed you can still wear it, if you remove and replace the core it still gives your the skills, so maybe it's a none issue

It might be worth looking at/talking to Tyrthius who made scrap armour tweaks, he made it so that the armour can't get holes in it, so they never break, but they don't give 100% protection, so eventually hits will get through, even if your overall protection is 100% because your clothes proving that extra 1-5% protection get broken. seems like a fair trade for such expensive and powerful armour, but that might just be me.

I tweaked the text files to make the armour not get holes which fixes this (for what I wanna use it for anyway) but I did notice that the armour pieces only cover the torso, so all the protection you're getting is from the frame, even if it's unpowered, so the frame gets destroyed really quick because it's protecting more areas than the armour, kinda defeating the point of the armour pieces except for aesthetics

Im experimenting this mod with equipment UI, and it seems that the equipment UI prevents you from wearing the armor pieces. All the benefits are moved to one part of the body, leaving the rest defenseless (apart from the protection the frame gives you). I also agrees that the frame itself should provide close to no protection, and unbreakable, fixing it over and over again is not quit possible, the armor on the other hand, should be the ones taking the hit and needing the repair.

The UI is bugged for my friends and me. When we click it, it opens the clothing menu for the armor (with "Inspect etc.)

So the UI button is basically useless and not working. Can you maybe at a hotkey option to activate the armor? Even adding it so that you can activate the armor by left-clicking on it, and selecting "active" would be enough.

I love to mod and its so unfortunate that we can't play it.

Another thing I noticed is that if you get bitten, the armor's protection disappears in the area where you were bitten. The mechanical armor frame develops an irreparable hole.

legs stick out from under the armor (i test X01 armor). the SWAT AND RIOT PACK addon has the same bug

Every time I remove a fusion core from the power armor frame, it steals fractions of my Strength stat and will drain strength all the way to 0.

Armor plates for arms and legs protect the torso. What?
When wounded, for some reason the damage is done to the frame, not the armor. Well, the protection of all parts except the torso is 99, not 100

Fix your mod, author

Amazing mod, I love it.

By the way, I noticed the T-60 and the T-51 helmets offer 0 bulletproof armor. Is that intended? Thanks in advance!

Whenever I install and then remove the Fusion Core from the Mechanized Power Armor Frame, removing it drains my XP and knocks off whole levels of my Strength attribute. In fact, just a couple of removals can cost me one to two Strength levels—and if I keep doing it, it continues to siphon away my XP and Strength levels.

@Ricksdetrix Could you tell me how you managed to solve the problem you describe in your messages in this post?

In reference to zombies being able to damage through armor
