IIRC the combat tab allso holds everything that goes in an equipmentgrid, combat related or not. Belt immunity, roboports and nightvision comes to mind.

Now that I've thought about it more, "always flying mode" combines with the first and third bullets. So ...

When wearing Mech Armor, you get walking speed bonuses while walking but not when flying. This ...

What?
Belt immunity and portable solar panels are the only equipment in the game that take up a 1x1 armor slot. This often leads to a situation where despite having portable fission/fusion reactors, if you're using belt immunity, the ...

What?
Anyone who's played Factorio to the point of getting modular armor has probably messed around with belt immunity and night vision goggles. It's inevitable that at some point, you ...

Paved ground bonuses would not increase speed beyond the limit. Belts (maybe?) should--belt immunity equipment is available if we don't want that.

That is so obviously right, I can't believe nobody has suggested it. Yes!

The sad part about Belt Immunity is that you can't disable it. Exoskeleton doesn't use energy when not moving and can be disabled at any time, but somehow Belt Immunity is always active.

Perhaps not necessarily a 10x reduction, but something to make it worth using at green tier. Right away when you unlock it, it's the only thing you can spend power on at all, but as soon as you unlock roboports it's in your interests not to use it until power armor.

I'd say 10kW makes sense ...

Im always amazed that people use this thing at all.

Still, while this means running Belt Immunity in a modular armour isn't [literally impossible[/i], I think my point still holds: needing 5 solar panels and 2/3rds of a battery just to power one item is a bit much.

Battery is 20 MJ which is 200 seconds of 100 kW draw. Certainly longer than Nauvis night.

+1, agree completely. 10kW, at most, would be good. Just a token amount to keep it from being free, which might be jarring. But it should not be any amount that calls for sacrifices of more functional equipment like roboports, legs, and defenses.
