Reserved just in case.

Could you make the power grid size configurable?
I prefer the 20x20 grid, as there is no upgraded fusion reactor, and dealing with biters just gets tiresome after a while.

You can edit the size of the grid manually if you like, just extract the mod and edit equipment-grid2.lua in prototypes/equipment with Notepad (notepad++ is better if you have it), it's self explanatory after that really, you don't even need to re-zip the mod when you're done.
~~I'd rather leave the mod as-is otherwise though, I might add some sort of fission reactor at some point, but I still feel that would seriously overpower the armor.~~
I won't make the grid bigger, but I will make a MK4 armor(with a bigger grid) by popular request, it'll be expensive though, requiring space science to research, a fair middle ground I think.
The fission reactor is also still on the table, but I'm thinking of having it take the place of fusion reactors, tech wise (at half power); and having fusion reactors cost more but provide double the output.

I need feedback on this idea though, as it requires changes to the base game and may cause incompatibilities.

I've gone ahead and added a MK4 version of the armor by popular request, at the moment it looks exactly the same as the MK3, as does the tech, and unless someone volunteers a replacement, it's likely to remain that way, as I'm quite frankly terrible with art.

As always I'm happy to receive feedback on bugs and balancing.

Jimmy, whatever your update did today it broke the existing MK4 armor that was made by zifnab06 I have been using. I can't load any of my saves now. Whats up?

Having a look now, I'll edit this reply when I figure it out.

It seems like there may be an issue with us both using the exact same naming scheme, I may be wrong but I believe zifnab06's mod was made by modifying mine? (Not that I mind of course)

Do you have any errors? Crash logs? etc. Also it may be worth rolling back my mod to an earlier version to restore your saves, if nothing else.

How would I do this for now?

Oh I see, I changed the tech name to fix an error, and because his tech requires mine, which no longer exists, there's an error.

~~Try replacing his mod with this attachment as a workaround until he can update his mod himself.~~

zifnab06 has updated their mod.

Thanks, this worked for now. I really appreciate your assistance.

I'll have a patch up in a few to fix it, sorry about that

Also thanks for this mod - it is fantastic.

While wearing power armour mk 3 my character looks like he isn't wearing any armour

Sorry about that, pretty sure I fixed it this time, at least it looks to be working for me.

Whenever the next release of this mod comes around, and assuming I don't forget, I'll be changing the name of this mod to more accurately reflect what it does, as there are now 2 tiers of armor, several equipment items, and research for increasing Personal Defense damage.

I was thinking something along the lines of "Power Armor Plus" or some such thing, I'm open to suggestions though.

Apparently not possible without re-releasing the entire mod anew, couldn't be bothered at this time.

The research costs of Personal Defense Damage don't seem to grow linearly. The tech ranks 4 and 5 seem inconsistent. Tech 3 needs yellow science but rank 4 doesn't and rank 5 costs less than rank 3.

~~Don't know how I missed that, working on a fix now.~~ Done and dusted.

I just started using this mod, and I noticed that there's a tier-3 battery, which unlike the other modules doesn't upgrade from the vanilla tier-2 batteries? Is this intended? It feels a bit odd that the recipe does not require batteries.

Also wondering if there's any upgrades to the fusion reactor planned, considering the power draw of the higher-tier items. I'm struggling a bit with finding a grid layout that I like as a result.
