This mod was made as an attempt to address a very urgent issue with hivers. Not gonna beat around the bush here or dress up my opinion on vanilla hivers: THEY SUCK
This mod does several things:
1.- RENABLES THE HIVER SHIRT SLOT AND HELMET SLOT FOR SOLDIER DRONES
Before you get all excited about this, i have restricted ALL equipment so that they can only use the stuff they use in vanilla. The only stuff they can use are the following items.
2.- HIVER EXOSKELETON
A "shirt" that only hivers can use, provides a good amount of coverage all around and it is fit for any hiver and hiver subrace.
3.- HIVER SHELL
A "helmet" specially designed for Soldier Drones that only protects the head, now your soldier drones won’t be one shot during late game because of lack of helmet.
4.- EDITED EVERY SINGLE NPC THAT CAN POTENTIALLY SPAWN AS A HIVER
The gimmick of these coverings is that they can only be found on other hivers, the hivers YOU start with will not spawn with anything thought, that will make it that much more rewarding. If you feel like nothing has changed at the beginning, that’s the point, you will become considerably more resilient late-game.
Every npc that can potentially spawn as a hiver WILL have their corresponding coverings with him without affecting the other potential spawns whatsoever. That being said, hivers that are added via mods are not and will not be supported.
Keep in mind that some NPCs have tweaked armor qualities on their spawns so that they make sense with their envoirement. Just think logically who could possibly have a masterwork or a specialist grade.
