The Dead Man’s Switch-Cinders-Patch-ERA
This little patch lets you craft explosive reactive armor (originally unique to the "Tombstone" mechanoids from Ember Garden) at the machining bench and equip it to ANY MECHANOID.
Key Features
🔥 Universal Reactive Armor: No longer limited to Tombstones – now all mechanoids can go full Michael Bay.
💥 Double the Fun: Stack with ceramic armor plates for maximum chaos (and survivability).
🙌 Credit Where Due: By Cinders of the Embergarden devs – this mod merely unlocks their brilliance for broader use.
⚠ Known Quirks (Non-Game-Breaking)
Visual Jank™:
Mechanoids temporarily use the Tombstone’s model when armor is active.
Current Fix: Disabled model swaps to prevent all mechs from becoming Tombstone clones (looks weird, but works).
Help Wanted: If you know how to fix this cursed texture swap, DM me!
Clone Shenanigans:
Copied Tombstones spawn with 200 innate armor points (separate from manually added armor).
These deplete first, then normal mechanics take over.

Why This Exists:
"The original reactive armor mechanic was too cool to stay locked to one unit type. Now your Centipedes can yeet shells AND explode in style!"
