Shield Augments

Description
Adds Shield Augments that can be fabricated at an Anvil, Forge, or Replicator.
The base augments all recharge at a rate of 10% per second and stop recharging for several seconds upon taking damage.

Tier 1 has 20 base shields and 25% efficiency, so it takes 80 energy to fully charge. It gains bonus shields equal to 20% of your armor's Protection value.
Tier 2 has 50 base shields and 40% efficiency, so it takes 125 energy to fully charge. It gains bonus shields equal to 50% of your armor's Protection value.
Tier 3 has 100 base shields and 100% efficiency, so it takes 100 energy to fully charge. It gains bonus shields equal to your armor's Protection value.

Added 3 new sidegrades at the third tier of shields:
The Stream Shield is only 90% efficient but regenerates 30% per second and takes half as long to continue recharging, it has only 20 base shields and gains 30% of Protection as bonus shields.
The Wall Shield is ~110% efficient and has 200 shields but regenerates only 8% every other second and takes twice as long to continue charging, it gains 200% of Protection as bonus shields.
The Utility Shield has only 60 shields but is 250% efficient, it gains 100% of Protection as bonus shields.

Update 1.8
Added new shield sidegrades.

Update 1.7
You now require a properly tiered Anvil/Forge/Replicator to craft a Shield Augment.
Augments should show up as loot occasionally.
Minor graphical changes from Cr0ssley.

Update 1.6:
Attempted to fix charging issue.

Update 1.5:
Graphical changes.

Update 1.4:
All shields gain a bonus to their maximum shields based on equipped armor's total Protection value.

Update 1.3:
Changed shield values and efficiency.

Replaced graphics with those provided by Cr0ssley.

Update 1.2:
Replaced old shield graphics with some modified by Cr0ssley.

Update 1.1:
Shields now absorb damage properly and should function as intended.
Thanks to MageKing17 for pointing me in the right direction.

I've also added a particle effect for when the shield is charging, but if anybody has better suggestions on graphics I can try something else.

@Eaarame, well, I think this is your personal bug, because I didn't have such problems. Instead, I have a problem with how much energy the shields consume. Any shield in this mod will only fully charge by draining almost my entire battery (my battery has a capacity of 225), leaving me with 5-10 energy, although it SHOULD consume up to 80/125/100 energy to fully charge

Mod does not work. Bug often causes energy to never recharge so you can only use melee weapons and even if you remove augment it will stay that way unless you use admin mode to reset it.

still works! I love playing with the instakill gun mod and no armor. This lets you survive a hit.

Any chance this could get support for the health bar mods? Such as:

I like this mod way better than the borderlands shields mod.

I have the same issue. One year ago shield worked fine.
I came back to the game recently. The only thing that changed is that addons got updated in the past year, and now I can't add shields to my equipment.

I haven't played Starbound in a year or so, then updated my mods and installed a few new ones and now I am unable to add shields onto my equipment.
Anyone figured out which mods could cause the issue of breaking this one?

Is it compatible with the Augments combiner mod?
Xyphurr 19 Feb, 2021 @ 6:35pm 
@Chet It drains your battery upon spawning (or teleporting in) to build up a shield buffer. Once this buffer is full, the shield disappears. Once you take damage, instead of dealing it to your health, it deals it to the shield. After a few seconds, it recharges that buffer again using a bit of energy. Iirc, it doesn't heal you if you take damage after the shield breaks.
Only really need the augment on one piece, from what I've observed.

I find this mod useful as heck, since I find health management really annoying. (Been a while since I played, but this was pretty much a mandatory item for me)

I'm not quite sure what this augment really does. I have added it on my head, chest piece and leg armor. I see some bubble grow and disappear, and all I know is it that it eats up all my battery. What does it really do exactly? Don't quite understand from explanation. Thank you.

This mod has saved me countless times!
And it also gave me an idea for a different shield mod, mind if I use it as a base?
