Super Shield

Description
Adds one custom utility item that is available at the start of a new playthrough (after completing the first mission).
  • +4 shield points
  • +2 armor
  • Poison immunity
  • More can be purchased but at an expensive price. Costs can be modified in config file

Some reasons why one might use this mod

Primarily to help with dedicated squad builds, especially if players feel their soldiers are too fragile or wound recovery times are too long.

This mod does make it easier to keep one soldier alive and more consistently deployed in tactical missions but I'm not sure how exactly it affects the overall difficulty of the game. I'd say this isn't a big concern because this mod can be really fun and there are many ways to tweak game difficulty.

@T-VIRUS please do so, it's been a struggle to find specific mods that I see online in the Steam Workshop. It's ridiculous that we should need to get a headache whilst installing extra programs onto our computers when the Steam Workshop works just fine.

@baraz we shouldnt have to make accounts on a site that we will likely only use once in order to download a mod that was removed from a site that we already have an account on

there are zero valid reasons for removing armor stat customiser from the workshop (it was originally on the workshop, but he removed it and then uploaded it to nexus, which then deleted it from my game and broke all my saves)

i have been considering reuploading it to the workshop just to spite nexus and allow others to use it without needing to install extra programs and make accounts

@T-Virus : Mind you, don't we create free accounts on tons of sites anyhow? You can create a generic account, with some secondary email adress. As you wish, though I agree placing on the Steam Workshop would make more sense or placing it on both would be better.

armor stat customizer used to be on the workshop, but the asshat removed it for some reason and locked it behind the nexus signup wall

I found a mod that allows you to customize armor stats, so I just removed the bonus HP and replaced them with Shields (+4 HP becomes Shield 4). The mod does not changed any armor stats: you choose to do so or not. It is on the Nexus mods site:

What would be cool and popular is to convert armor bonus HP to shield points ! It keeps the entire original game balance, but stops wound/hospital time for what should have been soaked by the armor HP.

Never mind i figured it out you have to have E cores in your inventory even if you set it to only use supply

I can't get it to let me build more of these and I've tried a clean re-install and deleted my config folder and it still wont let me build them any help would be appreciated thank you in advance.
