Ideas
Hi there, love where this mod is going. A couple of ideas.

- You can recharge Tek by jumping in liquid element, however the suit takes damage when you do this, if a full suit is worn prevent damage from liquid element but still recharge the suit

- Provide an .ini option to toggle the use of Element to power the suit or Refined Element

- Allow Tek sprint while a weapon is equipped, or when starting a sprint and a weapon is equipped automatically holster the currently equipped weapon (Holster the weapon is probably the better solution as it won't allow players to sprint and arrive with a weapon out and ready to fire, might be a balance issue if not, bit op sprinting and arriving at destination with a weapon out)

- Provide an .ini option to enable or disable the remap of the Tek TLC armour over the vanilla armour (Not sure if this is possible), it would in effect replace the vanilla in-game armour. A remap should work for new drops, existing armour already in game would remain vanilla I think.

Anyway great mod and thanks for putting the time in.

Unfortunately, only refined element can be use in order to keep the mod cleanly stackable.
Same goes for remapping the tek armor. I want this mod to be cleanly stackable. thanks for the suggestions though. I'll look into them when i get the time.

Thanks for the reply. I was actually working on something very similar to what you have done. You released your version before I had worked out some of the kinks in mine.

I created a child bps of the Tek armour and copies the buffs for each one.

I manged to:
Remap the keys to activate the various abilities
Keep Element as the fuel used to power the suit (Could also substitute it for something else)
I also managed to get the Tek sprint working with a weapon equipped and holster it on sprint start
I also used the PGD for the mod to remap the vanilla items to the modded ones (Only remaps new items entering the game existing ones stay as the vanilla ones)
I was just working on getting the hud (ElementBar) to work with the modded items
I put the vision modes for the helmet on F2
I put the boost jump for the jet pack on Q (I know this is also hoster weapon, however the player can remap that in-game)

If you are up for it, would love to collaborate.

idk if it fits since it's a request for an item to be made, but a spino tek saddle would be pretty cool.

I really like the idea of a separate element so it doesnt go in your dedicated storage (I use s+ so it deposits everything not on the hotbar) Would nice to see the extra element compatible with all the other Tek gear that uses it to function not just the suit. And maybe a seperate gasoline so it doesnt auto stack for use with chainsaw and drill? (obviously not a tek tlc but hey)

Have you tried to make a blueprint via Upgrade Station?
