Don't you just hate it when you run around a base stacked to the brim with Behemoth Biters and those pests randomly attack you for no reason? Don't you wish you could silently and without detection wander into your enemies' factory and cheekily disrupt their supply chains? Do you hate the look of your own shadow?

Well, for you, there's Active Camouflage™ (Coming Soon™)! This Power Armour Module lets you blend in seamlessly with the environment, allowing you to evade detection by all but the most wary eyes. Just don't go physically poking someone while invisible, or you'll be noticed. Oh, and be careful around unsuspecting automobile drivers.


[I'd love for something like this to be added to the game. It would add interesting new strategies to approaching enemies in single and multiplayer (enemy players).]

More details!
- Should radar be able to "see" him?
- Or a special device (perhaps for amour suit) - like the nightvision - that enables to scan?
- Or just a device that alarms you, when there is something coming in, which has camouflage? But not exactly where (you know only the area).

...

Yes! Special GazeTech® Pure Goggles™ will allow you to see pesky unseen pests! And also those notorious Night Biters which have recently gotten hold of some mysterious Golden Amulet of Power that has enabled them to stalk around the daytime without raising suspicion. They used to just walk around you minding their own business. But then you started to build machines that clouded the skies - we at GazeTech® know how it is: an adventurer such as yourself must find solace with self-built, mechanical friends to stay off the impending loneliness; and we encourage you!
Randomly, machines would break and you would think to yourself "how?" and "why?" and "I replaced the gears in that only yesterday!" Now, with GazeTech® Pure Goggles™, you will be able to shine a Light on the Darkness and see those invisible monsters at once! And maybe take their Amulets for your own if they drop 'em and replicate their effect in your very own armour.

GazeTech® understands consumer demand for freedom of thought, ease of use scenarios where the end-user does not, indeed, want to go around scouting their entire factory personally for unwanted visitors, so we have come up with a solution. Two solutions. Three!

• Gazedar™ scanning technology slowly reveals areas within its scanning range and is specifically adapted to scan wavelengths not visible to the average consumer's retinas (GazeTech® withholds all accusations of personal insult directed towards beings capable of detecting wavelengths in the detection range of the Gazedar™. Can you see in these scarcely observed wavelengths? Become a researcher at GazeTech®! Contact us at the enclosed address with your resumé and planet of origin).
• Surveillance Droids™ with special NightVision optics, capable of sensing infra-red heat signatures and alerting nearby security systems within a split second.
• Darkmane© Revealer Fluid™, produced in your own Chemical Plants and sprayed out over your base periodically to reveal hidden creatures, treasures and ores!
