I think there should be a small addition, maybe I'll make a new mod.

[JustAnotherUser19401]

This is in the main repo since there is no module close enough to have this added in.

I believe that there should be such thing as a Modular Powersuit. The ability to equip a suit, and have the ability of a jetpack and a powerful weapon. Gameplay changes include:

• New textures
• Ability for special armor equipment
• Upgraded Crafting/Workbench Table

I believe the Modular Computers mod should be used for this. However, I'd rather build my own module. But, Modular Computers could be intergrated!

Here are some ways to craft and build (unfinished)

Now, lets say I built my own module. The layout of the module would be as shown: -Battery

• Multiple Variables, maxBattery (int), currBattery (int), batteryType (probably an enum)
• Powersuit
  • Multiple variables, all of type PowerArmor, they would be head, chest, leg and boot, and they don't all have to be filled. A powersuit is only one item and is worn as an armor.
  • One battery variable, since everything runs off of a single battery.
• PowerArmor: Contains one of everything below. One power armor suit takes up one slot, but you can't have any more than just that one.
• PowerHead
  • Multiple variables, hasVisorUpgrade (bool), hasEntityScanUpgrade (bool), etc. Has functions that carry out these upgrades See the pastebin
• PowerChest
  • Multiple upgrades, hasBeamUpgrade (bool)
• PowerLeg
  • Multiple upgrades, sprintBoost (bool), suspension (bool) See the pastebin

• PowerBoot

  • See the pastebin

  Using prefabs and custom functions as well as a GUI for the crafting system, I believe I could try to build a module to fulfill these needs.

  The GUI would be similar to the Modular Powersuits mod in Minecraft, where this idea comes from. Please look online or on Google for the GUI, it'd probably look like that. I think if I used the Ore Generation mod by Josharias, and adding the new Energy Ore item, I could also add in items such as Copper and Silicon.

Hi @Metatricity - cool suggestion!

The ideal place for this is in the Suggestion forum. There an idea can go through some design, get a potential author, and eventually get moved into the Module forum and have a repo created for it :-)

Mind reposting it over there, including the pastebin link?

http://forum.terasology.org/forum/suggestions.21/

As for the pastebin, keep in mind that we don't use the traditional 3x3 crafting grid from Minecraft. So far most crafting is directly recipe based (add ingredients to an input, then pick a valid crafting recipe from a list). There are other suggestion threads for other variants of crafting though, some of which could be more discovery based and involve placement.

Finally the ModularComputers module is more like OpenComputers, in that it is like a computer you put together using modules to add capabilities. If you need a full computer system for the power suit that might still make sense, but it could be overkill and instead simply equipping the right pieces on the character screen (from the Equipment module) would enable special effects like jet packs and so on.

In any case thank you! Will approve the GCI task now but please keep at this idea, it needs an advocate or two! :-)
