Status PDA [Obsolete]

Description
Mod is now obsolete - replaced by Handheld Status Monitor, available in Mechanic's Technician tree at level 2.
You can still freely use the mod if you wish though.

Adds handheld, battery operated versions of Status Monitor, commonly found linked with the Navigation Terminal.

Perfect for Mechanics, Engineers, first-timers learning the sub layout and those eager to be first to the hull breach.

The PDA comes in two variants: basic and upgraded. Basic variant only shows the Hull Status - it does not show Water and Oxygen levels, EVEN if the sub's Status Monitor would. The upgraded variant shows Water levels as well, but accepts only Fulgurium batteries.

Battery operation limits:
Basic variant:
- Normal battery - 30 seconds
- Fulgurium battery - 60 seconds

Upgraded variant:
- Fulgurium battery - 45 seconds

The battery is drained only when the PDA is held in hand.

Base shop cost:
Basic variant: 450
Available everywhere

Upgraded variant: 600
Available at: Outpost, City, Research

Crafting
Basic variant:
Fabricator - time 45 seconds:
- Electrical lvl 30
- FPGA circuit x1
- Plastic x1
- WiFi component x3

Deconstructor - time 15 seconds:
- FPGA circuit x1
- Plastic x1
- WiFi component x3


Upgraded variant:
Fabricator - time 20 seconds:
- Electrical lvl 40
- Status PDA x1
- Water detector x1

Deconstructor - time 10 seconds:
- Status PDA x1
- Water detector x1




Please let me know if you have any ideas that could further improve the item! Thanks!

I haven't really looked at the Vanilla one's code, but it's quite likely that the limitation on who can use the device is completely arbitrary. Battery usage is also easily tweakable, so the devs probably made them like so on purpose.

As for getting more data, I absolutely agree. Reading reactor data from a PDA would be awesome, as well as checking critical components' statuses.

Once again, if anyone wants to still use my mod for whatever reason, be my guest. :)

For me personally I think your mod is much better than Vanillia feature, since it also uses less battery, can be used by everyone, and provides all info similar to Vanillia but better in every way.

If anything the vanillia one is just poorly conceived since technician and mechanic should get more data. Like Electrician getting power data from reactor and mechanic getting broken machine data on their PDA. ( Talking about things Devs should have added to Vanillia game for their PDA's )

@The | Suit
I suppose you're right. You can even buy the modded PDA from shops without needing to level your skills up, so it's good for beginner crews.

You say its obselete but only Technician can end up getting it right?
So your mod still would be useful for Soldier \ Medic \ Captain

dya think you could make a portable research table?

@Iridescent Lightning
I'm not even sure if that'd be possible. Navigation Terminals requires wire connections to function, unlike Status Monitors. If anything, it's probably beyond my skills, sorry man :(

It's a shame that the mod is obsolete now, but keep working on new stuff! I loved this mod
