1.6?

@Xercaine @Gerewoatle Thanks!

@Xercaine - For as long as that mod has been around and as basic an issue as it solves, I'm surprised it's still so poorly known. I'm even more surprised it hasn't been folded into the base game as the obvious bugfix that it is.

@fabio.pinhao.mello @Banuína Finally got around to updating it, sorry for the wait! Shields now use stuffable stats and have their armor applied correctly.

@Lv99POTATO @Gerewoatle I've also added a link to the Prosthetic mod in the description.

@Gerewoatle Right, I remember reading that! Thank you, I'll add it to the description!

@Xercaine, Lv99POTATO - It's a base game problem, actually. To fix it you need to use the "Prosthetic No Missing Body Parts" mod:

@Lv99POTATO Hey, thanks! I'm not sure if I remember right, but I think that's an issue with the Vanilla Expanded Framework. I'll be looking into issues with this mod once I've got the time.

Very neat mod!
However, Pawns with bionic arms cannot equip these shields :(

The armor doesn't change when I equip the shields, am I missing something?

I think it happened because a nonviolent was hauling the lmg, therefore sinoje sidearms decided it her weapon, game said no and poof

I has an LMG beimg consumed, but i hadnt habe this mod installed but simple sidearms (regarding the comment from sinplephysix)

@fabio.pinhao.mello Oh, good to know, thanks for telling me! I'll get around to that when I have the time.

Hi, Xercaine. You made the heater shield stuffable, but its stats are not affected by the material. So a masterwork steel heater shield has the same stats as its plasteel counterpart.

@SimplePhysics Thanks for the heads up! Just did a test with the mods you mentioned, and it doesn't seem to happen with only those loaded. Looks like an incompatibility, so if you suspect a mod just leave a comment here.

Simply fantastic ;) However, I think I found a bug; when told to equip a shield (not the "as shield" option, just the basic equip option) the pawn "consumes" the shield, and it disappears from the world entirely, and it's not in their gear tab. It may be a mod interaction with perhaps Simple Sidearms as mentioned, or RPG Inventory (but I don't think so, it can turn off and I don't see the item), and it happened with ballistic shields.

@SimplePhysics I did some simple testing and it seems to be compatible with Simple Sidearms.

@SovietYunYun Finally updated this to have compatibility with Unofficial VE Shields Addon.

love the bioferrite shield

@SovietYunYun Thanks for telling me, I might be able to fix that in a later update.

The ballistic shield will conflict with the ballistic shield from Unofficial VE Shields Addon they share the same texture names so whichever mod loads last will override the textures for both shields.

I got around this by renaming your shield to assault shield.

@Birbvs Memeticvs Thanks for the reply! I thought it'd might work as these are apparel rather than weapons, as long as their code were compatible. I'll still do some tests for more information when I get the time.

If it uses the same mechanics as other Vanilla expanded shields, such as the
heavy shield or riot shield, it should work fine with Simple Sidearms.
Since VFE Vikings and Medieval are getting reworked,
this mod is very useful. Thank you for making this.
Would love to see more shield variety.

Keep in mind that VE shields working with Simple Sidearms is from
personal experience.

@SimplePhysics Good question, I'll have to get back to you on that when I've got some time to do some testing.

How does this work with mods like Simple Sidearms and similar? Is this just a new equipment slot?
