The Essential Jetpack Mod

Description
Fly like a bird! Then hit a wall.

The Essential: Jetpacks Mod delivers highly augmented armour granting the capability of flight, all through the convenience of a back item - like all traditional jetpacks should be. There are 3 jetpacks, each with their own unique flight mode. Additionally, there is armour with functionality engineered toward benefiting the wearer during flight. The weapons, and items can be used without the need for a jetpack, however they have been carefully designed to work better in flight - with the use of a Jetpack.

Experiment with complex combinations of Augments, weapons and techs, either from this mod, another mod or the vanilla base game content with your jetpack of choice. The sky is.... sort of the limit, but you get the analogy.

Polishing this mod has been great fun. Aside from bug fixes as I believe the focus should be on the Jetpacks themselves.

I suggest taking a look at the Mod's Readme which is in the form of a hand-craftable codex. I have put a tremendous volume of detail into that item that explains how to use all of the content of this mod. Please read that before asking any questions.

In order to build the Avionics lab, you can do so at a Tier 1 Inventor's Table.

I hope ye all enjoy this mod as much as I enjoyed makin it me hearties!

I don't even remember what it does its been that long haha.
If I recall, it provides the heat, cold and radiation protection that the EPP would normally provide so players don't have to keep switching between EPP and Jetpacks.
So whatever other mods do is beyond my control.
My objective - compatible with base game. So far so good (^^,)
I don't mod SB anymore, but happy for someone else to grab the asset and make a spin on it to whatever suits their requirements.

Awesome mod! It's on my permanent list. Does the Life Support Augment work on Arcana's planets? If not, would be able to add an augment that covers all the vanilla and Arcana hazards?

Did you read the manual? (craftable book item in hand crafting menu)
Has all the details - I hope.

Basically if you have the fuel jetpack you need to make fuel cells and consume them like you would a consumable item.

Fuel jetpacks should have a mini resource bar above your head when you wear it. Only GUI is with the body tech item which brings up a menu showing fuel and maneouvres the player can activate.

Been a while since I looked since I've retired from SB modding.

Hope this helps

i seem to be unable to pick up the jet packs with https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2053251870 mod installed i assume this has to do with the custom jet pack tool tip being unregistered with the mods sorting system but my understanding of code is limited so idk

Nah, these are way better than the shuttle mod. I have both. These are the perfect thing for surface exploration while still using your own default weapons. Land and interact with stuff instead of worrying about a vehicle. I find them excellent for mining straight down as well. Take it off if you really need to. Simple. Rocket pack with stabilizer works best. This + Lyetzi's Gunshop Mod together are the best mods for this game, period.

Personally, I tampered with things a bit to make the booster pack act just like the rocket pack, so now I have two different designs that work great for everything I need. Even using the awesome Wolfen Gunship I still use these to jump out and fly back up to it, so they can be a plus even when using vehicles.

Yeah I ended up with a few variants on how they move. People wanted packs to last forever and I said no, because I believe in balanced game-play. But yeah you're right, I mainly made them to overcome obstacles and there really isn't any use case in moving around a base, but rather scaling mountains or just hovering across water or fraging monsters.

Since I retired from modding this game, I'm certainly sure there are much more efficient and creative methods of moving around nowadays

I remember a long long time ago when the packs were simpler. They were borderline necessary for the player to overcome high gravity.
Echo 20 Mar, 2024 @ 11:03pm 
Honestly, the packs kinda suck.
I appreciate the effort, but whatever method you needed to use to make them work is very much not user-friendly.
Any kind of mining, dungeon crawling, or casual use in your base is right out, which makes it useless 99% of the time.
Meanwhile, shuttles exist and can be used for traversing the skies with much more simplicity.
