Description

The mod allows you to set various damage alterations for armor (or any block, really) to make it immune to damage below a certain value, stronger until damaged below a certain integrity percent, or have a flat deduction to incoming damage. This is meant more for undermatch (IE block isn't obliterated) situations.

Don't want rifles to be able to break heavy armor? Easily done. Want to make some fancy composite that holds up really well until partly damaged? Also easily done.

Note than minimum damage modifiers are applied first, then degradation percentages, and finally the flat deduction.

Config Location

\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\ID Number\WorldName\Storage\

Debug Mode

Type in chat "/da debug" to cycle debug mode when tinkering with settings. This will show a message when a modified block is hit, and show the original and final alteration to damage. If the hit block isn't in the modified list, a message will show the SubtypeID.

Block Lists

Type in chat "/da listblocks" to get a list of all block subtypeIDs for everything in the world, separated by mod. This will output as BlockList.txt in the world storage, same as the configs.

Group Configs

Variable

Type

Description

groupName

string

The name of your group, as referred to in the armor block config

minDamage

integer

Damage less than this amount will be set to 0. Set to 0 to disable this feature

minDamageWhenDegraded

boolean

Only apply the min damage threshold if the block is not degraded (see degradedDmgThreshold)

deductDamage

integer

Amount of damage to deduct from incoming damage. Set to 0 to disable this feature

deductWhenDegraded

boolean

If false, the deductDamage will not apply if the block is degraded. If true, the deductDamage amount will always be factored into the final adjusted damage amount

degradedDmgThreshold

float

Percent (0-1f range). If integrity is below this %, the block is considered degraded. 0 disables the "degraded" functionality and is the default

degradedDmgPercent

float

If the block is degraded, damage is multiplied by this value. 1.1f would add 10% damage for example

Block Configs

Variable

Type

Description

subTypeID

string

List of block subtype IDs to inherit the properties of the group name below. Separate each with a comma

groupName

string

Group name that defines which group properties to apply to each block in the list above.

Order of Operations:

- Determine if block is degraded
- Check if damage is less than minimum and zero it out (or use the specified minimum when degraded)
- Apply degraded percent change if specified and block is degraded
- Apply deductDamage deduction

Samples Explained:

The Experimental 1 armor group contains the large grid heavy armor cube, which ignores all damage below 150 unless the block is less than half integrity. This might represent a fairly strong plate being impervious to weaker weapons, until enough damage has occurred from larger weapons. For example, this block would be immune to gatling gun fire until softened up with larger weapons.

The Experimental 2 armor group contains the large grid light armor cube, which will always deduct 60 damage from any source. Once the block is less than 75% integrity (IE degraded), any damage is multiplied by 1.5 before the 60 damage deduction. For example, this block would only take 30 of the baseline 90 damage from a gatling gun, until the integrity drops below 75%. Then it would begin taking 90*1.5-60, or 75 damage.
