Detailed list of items:

Personal
Standard barrier that is active at all times but limits power of passive modules, great for supporting staff. Does not give access to use of Ultimate Modules.
Combat
Combat barrier is activated in danger automatically or by user manually. This allows for access to ultimate modules (first monster attack R activates barrier, the second equips the user with an ultimate ability, if the relevant chip is present).
Cloak
Similar in function to the Combat Barrier, but instead of offering the protection it bestows complete invisibility on the user. Does not give access to use of Ultimate Modules.
Important note: Combat and Cloak types can be activated manually by using monster attack (Default R).

Patch has been rolled out, addressing some of the known issues. If you find any suspected bugs don't hesitate to let me know.

@The IRS it should not, will have a look at that.

The techsplicer seems to remove husk even when i have husk genes in it which kind of removes the purpose of the genes is that intentional?

@Volitile no effects don't stack, but increasing quality of splicer will increase your charge gain from all sources including aux charger.
Volitile 30 Jun @ 4:39pm 
Quick question since i don't want to search through the description for something that might not be there. Do the aux-charger and runner passives stack?

this mod is looking great mate looks and feels preety good to play with
DefaultString  [author] 28 Jun @ 12:20am 
@Karma Hound No it does not grant pressure immunity, don't think it would make sense.
DefaultString  [author] 28 Jun @ 12:19am 
@l0gunat0r Aux battery has to be recycled in fabricator. And im not going to override human.xml for second slot as TechSplicer already has genetic slots that you are looking for.
Karma Hound 27 Jun @ 9:22pm 
Without downloading the mod just wondering, do any of these protect against water, or just combat? I'm assuming not but I just think the idea of popping into water gear seems rather useful in a futuristic sub world but I guess it'd make sense if water shorts them out, also you wouldn't have oxygen unless you have a mask on. Anyway neat mod though.
l0gunat0r 27 Jun @ 8:15pm 
I know this may not be fixable as no other mod has been able to do it, but would it be possible to make a secondary splicer slot because I want to use both the tech splicer and the gene splicer but I can only use one, also, is there a way to charge the auxiliary battery?
