Bastion - Power Armor Overhaul (Updated)

Power armor is now able to absorb and resist damage. Each armor piece will work individually and absorb damage from the body part it covers. Once the armor begins to break down, you can deal damage to the exposed body parts. Some weapons are also capable of penetrating armor and causing damage to the wearer.

What does this module do?

This mod is a complete remake of Better Power Armor - Redux. This mod has been completely rewritten in CommonLibF4 and has better compatibility with other mods such as Shield Framework or DirectHit.

You become a real walking tank. Your power armor will protect you from harm. You will not take any damage unless parts of your power armor break or you are hit by a powerful stray bullet that can penetrate your armor. This is a must-have mod for all power armor fans!

But be careful, this mod works on your enemies too! Make sure you also get the game's configuration menu, which allows you to adjust the durability of your power armor and your enemy's power armor.

Armor penetration is a feature of this mod, and MCM can also be configured.

There are 3 categories of armor penetration: Keywords in weapons or ammunition can be added to the form list within the fortress.esp to make the weapon or ammunition penetrate power armor

(You can use MCM to configure %) The basic configuration is as follows:

Low Penetration - 20% of damage will penetrate and damage the character.

No special keywords

(List of forms that can be added to the bastion - Bastion_FormList_LowPenetration [FLST:FE000001])

Medium Penetration - 40% of damage penetrates and damages the character.

Keywords: Weapon Type Grenade [KYWD:0010C415] (can be added to the list of forms on the Bastion - Bastion_FormList_MediumPenetration [FLST:FE000002])

High Penetration - 60% of damage will penetrate and damage the character.

Keywords: Weapon Type Missile Launcher [KYWD: 0022575B], Weapon Type Fat Man [KYWD: 0022575C] Ammunition: Ammunition 50 Caliber [Ammunition: 0001F279], Ammunition 2mmEC [Ammunition: 0018ABDF] (can be added to the form list on the Bastion - Bastion_FormList_HighPenetration [FLST: FE000003])

Other damage defense types can also be configured with MCM.

By default, your power armor will also protect you from fire, poison, acid, and radiation as long as all power armor components are above 25% durability.

Companions and other special NPC companions (Dance the Paladin) and special NPCs (such as Colt from Nuke World) are excluded because their power armor is unbreakable.
