Suit Enhancement Suite

More room and less busywork in your clothing

Suits get Water, Food and Waste slots that keep you fed, watered and relieved automatically, and refill themselves from your inventory. Advanced suits also get two Shared Power slots whose batteries keep your suit, tools and other batteries charged. The Marine Vest gets eight storage slots, and every uniform gets four storage slots.

Slots

[table] [tr][th]Clothing[/th][th]Added slots[/th][/tr] [tr][td]Suits, Hardsuit, Icarus, HARM suit, other armour[/td][td]Water, Food, Waste[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Advanced suits (Hardsuit, HARM suit)[/td][td]also 2 Shared Power[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Marine Vest[/td][td]8 storage, Water, Food, Waste[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Uniforms (jumpsuits)[/td][td]4 storage[/td][/tr] [/table]

• Added slots always come after the clothing's own slots and after other mods' slots, so the game's slots keep their usual places.
• Storage slots take anything. Water takes water bottles and drinks that work like one. Food takes meals, bars, canned food, cooked vegetables and raw crops with nutrition; not seeds, eggs, pills or tools. Waste takes folded and part-filled Waste Bags, not full ones. Shared Power takes any battery cell.

Eating and drinking

• Only the worn suit's Water, Food and Waste slots are used, every 2 seconds.
• Keeps you topped off: drinks and eats once 1 % of the capacity is free.
• Food items are eaten just up to full. Raw crops and cooked vegetables are eaten one whole item at a time, only when all of it fits; below 25 % nutrition they are eaten anyway.
• Works through a closed helmet.

Waste

The game will not let you use a toilet or a waste bag while wearing a suit, and at 100 % waste you wet the suit and end up Soiled. The Waste slot uses its bag for you, through the suit, once your waste passes 25 %, exactly as using the bag by hand would. A part-filled bag stays in the slot and is refilled until full (two full stomachs). A folded bag is unfolded into the slot.

Auto-swap

When the Water, Food or Waste slot is empty, or holds an empty bottle, rotten food or a full bag, a fresh item moves in from your storage slots, backpack, tool belt and the containers in them (never from your hands):

• Water: the bottle holding the most water.
• Food: the best food quality first (meals, then canned, cooked, raw crops); portioned food before whole items; the smallest whole item first, since it fits sooner.
• Waste: a part-filled bag first, then one folded bag from a stack.

The spent item goes back where the fresh one came from, or into the first free slot. Nothing is deleted or dropped: with no room, the swap waits. One switch per slot.

Shared Power

While you wear an advanced suit (Hardsuit, HARM suit), the batteries in its Shared Power slots charge the other batteries you carry, up to 500 W per battery per power tick (the Battery Cell Charger's rate):

• your suit's battery first,
• then the batteries of what you hold in your hands,
• then every other battery in a battery slot: helmet, tool belt, tools in your backpack.

Within each step the emptiest battery comes first. The Shared Power battery holding less energy is used first, so it runs flat and can be swapped while the other stays full. Spare batteries in storage are not charged, and nothing is created: batteries receive what the Shared Power batteries lose.

Removing it

Take everything out of the added slots (Water, Food, Waste, storage, Shared Power) and save first. Without the mod those slots do not exist and their contents are lost or land in the wrong slot.

Good to know

• Multiplayer: every player needs the mod, because it adds the slots on each machine; a player without it sees clothing with missing slots. Eating, drinking, waste bags, swaps and charging run on the host, and the game sends the results with its own updates. No extra network traffic.
• 0.5.0 moved the uniform's storage slots behind its own slots. A uniform saved before that loads with the two groups swapped: open it and drag the items back.
