Tanksy’s Lights
This mod tweaks Exterior Lights and Exterior Headlights to be less of a vulnerability:
Now matches vanilla armor tile stats:
– 4000 HP
– 3.0 Mass
– 7 Penetration Resist
– 50% AOE Damage Resist
– 100% Explosion Absorption
– 1 EMP Resist
– Costs 7 Steel, 1 Coil.
(Vanilla cost 4 Steel, 1 Coil)
In Vanilla, Exterior lights/headlights had the same health and defensive values as a corridor – but were a solid, impassable tile. Because of their rigidity, they were only really used within armor pieces and other parts of the ship where crew movement wasn’t a concern – But due to their weak stats; it was undesirable to place these lights amongst the ship’s armor as they would then present a weak-spot.
So – to promote styling the f**k out of your ships without sacrificing defence, This mod gives them the exact same defensive stats as a 1×1 armor tile, and increases their resource cost to match. (1×1 Armor costs 8 Steel, these cost 7 Steel and 1 Coil)
If I create any mods to vanilla armor, I will likely make an alternate version of this mod to be in line with those changes. I am also open to making compatibility versions for other mods, at the user’s request.
