## About The Pull Request Slightly reworks the mining MODsuit to be more distinct from other mining gear and have its own designated role as an exploration and mining tool. - Base armor (when covered in ash) has been reduced to 50 from 60, being equal to that of an explorer suit with two goliath plates attached. However, entering the sphere mode will grant additional 20 armor, bumping it up to 70 (equal to that of a H.E.C.K. suit) - Integrated drill no longer mines instantly by default, instead having a delay of 0.25 seconds. However, when entering the sphere mode, the drill will overcharge and get back its instamine, as well as get halved power consumption. Currently, those two are mutually exclusive, and the drill cannot be used in the sphere mode. - Mining bomb cooldown has been reduced to 1s from 1.25s. They also now detonate much faster, and the detonation time matches their animation. The digging radius has been reduced back to 3x3 from 5x5, and their damage has been reduced to 28 from 48 to compensate increase in firing speed and reduced detonation delay making them much easier to use (functional DPS has been reduced from 36 to 28) - Rewrote ore bag a bit to try and make sure it doesn't break when depositing ores into the ORM. I only have faint suspicions of this being possibly being caused by ore getting deleted and leaving a null in the list, so removing it should hopefully? stop the bag from breaking. - The 0.25 slowdown is back, but it should be less of a problem considering that the sphere mode now is a much more viable traversal tool and not an utter joke aside from lava traversal. - The MODsuit now comes pre-equipped with a magnetic harness, which is now capable of stowing kinetic crushers in addition to guns. This should make using the sphere mode less of a pain in the ass, as you won't drop your weapon whenever you enter the sphere mode before you remember to put it in your suit storage slot. The delay on harnesses has also been reduced to 0.5 seconds, which should make them more comfortable to use, while still allowing someone to grab your gun if you're not careful. - The sphere mode can no longer traverse lava roundstart, instead requiring to be upgraded with two pieces of bileworm skin to get lava-resistant plating. This is meant to work together with #92877, being a part of ongoing effort to bring mining back in terms of speed and action level, reducing mining and exploration speeds in favor of higher ore spawns and more focus on gear and equipment progression. <img width="92" height="98" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/740ab28d-210d-4832-ba07-00dbd8680491" /> Additionally, both the mining drill and green raptor bumpmining has been nerfed (technically fixed, practically nerfed) by removing the diagonal movement... thing which allowed you to mine thrice as quickly and ignore the one-tick movement delay due to how diagonal movement works. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/711e895f-e7e7-4cd9-b484-d7d11ff597af Its still fast and comfortable to use, just not absurdly fast. ## Why It's Good For The Game The mining MODsuit is in a very weird place both balance and progression wise. Its very easy to get if you ignore vents, it has good armor stats, it allows you to partly ignore being set on fire (or fully if you get the regulator module, but that requires more effort). I don't think that the buff was very needed, it was very strong as-is when used properly (with a yellow or green raptor mount) which not a lot of people seem to have realized. However, its still in a pretty pitiful state as its core feature (sphere mode) is nigh useless as the drill only works outside of it, and mines themselves are extremely clunky and uncomfortable to use. This leaves it only being useful for its cheap armor (without needing to kill goliaths), free GPS and ore bag that don't occupy your pockets, and ability to ignore environmental hazards. The solution I've decided to go with is reworking the MODsuit to be focused on mining and exploration rather than combat, being a good equipment piece for newer players and miners less interested in hunting megafauna. This carves the MODsuit its own niche rather than being weirdly slotted between base suits and contending with drake armor in terms of stats/effects. Roundstart lava crossing capabilities removal alongside bumpmining nerf is somewhat unrelated to the rest of the changes, it is a part of the exploration rework alongside #92877, which is intended to force miners to engage in combat more. Without the nerf, the suit is as fast as a yellow raptor, which lets it go through lavaland at absurd speeds when moving diagonally. (Yes, diagonal zig-zag movement ignoring the bump delay allows you to outspeed someone moving cardinally) More details about the project can be found in this [design doc](https://hackmd.io/@smart-kar/HkUINgBtke). The instamine ability of the sphere will likely get slightly nerfed in the future with the main batch of ore spread buffs and mining speed nerfs, but I've left it as powerful as a green raptor to not make the suit useless when compared to other options in the meantime. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Mining MODsuit has gained a magnetic harness for all of your crusher stowing needs. balance: Magnetic harnesses now take only 0.5 seconds to pick up your gun, and can pick up crushers. balance: Mining MODsuit has regained it small slowdown, and lost 10 melee armor. balance: Mining drill MODule is no longer instant (outside of the sphere mode of a mining MOD) balance: The mining sphere MODule now can break rocks when rolling into them, gives 20 melee and bomb armor when active, and has a shorter bomb cooldown, but bombs themselves have reduced damage and mining AOE. balance: Mining sphere MODule now requires an upgrade in form of two pieces of bileworm skin to be able to traverse lava, as opposed to being able to do so innately. fix: Fixed MODsuit ore bag sometimes breaking permanently when depositing ores into the ORM. /🆑
