As it goes into the vehicle's grid, could you add personal armour plating to make us less squishy when we run our car into a rock beside the biter nest and have to run away? Asking for a friend.

Also, I would add an option--on by default--that lowers acceleration and top speed due to the extra weight of each armour piece.

Also, also, can you add higher tiers for all armours outside of technology upgrades that are just lower tiers riveted together with iron rod? (The weight penalty should REALLY start to matter. If you choose to armour yourself like a tortoise, you should expect to move as fast as one. :grin: )

Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback!

Personal Armor: Good news! This is already implemented. All armor plates (MK1 to MK3) now work in both vehicles and personal equipment grids.

Higher Tiers: This is also in the mod! MK2 plates are crafted from MK1s, and MK3s from MK2s, following that "riveted together" progression.

Weight Penalty: I haven't implemented the acceleration/speed reduction yet due to Factorio's technical limitations regarding equipment-based physics modifiers, but it's definitely something I'm keeping in mind for a future update!

Cheers!
