[h1]Background, Overview, and Motto[/h1]
Elite Bionics Framework is the child of the abandoned, never-released mod Elite Bionics (ELTE). In Fall 2018, the ELTE mod was drafted to bring competition into the bionics mod duopoly at that time: EPOE and RBSE. The selling point was that, while the ELTE bionics offer less body part efficiency, they instead provide max HP bonuses to them, mitigating the loss of HP caused by the usage of bionics (see https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=15704.0 for more details).
Unfortunately, with the lack of both drawing skills and the confidence of finding cooperation, the ELTE mod was scrapped; but to not let the programming effort go to vain, I have decided to refactor ELTE and release this mod instead as a tribute to the ambitions that went unfulfilled: to shape the Big Three of the bionics mod "market", and to become one of them.
The motto of Elite Bionics: they might not be as effective as others, but at least they last much longer than others.
[h1]Framework Description[/h1]
Other modders may manipulate body parts through this framework. Currently, these manipulations are supported:
[list]
[*]Changing max HP of body part (v1.0.0)
[*]Changing melee attack damage of bionics (v2.1.0)
[/list]
Note that, normally, when body part max HP is increased, the pain and bleeding rate will both also increase. This mod scales down the bleeding rate in order to avoid nonsensical instant-death situations due to instant-bleed-out.
However, pain levels are not touched to maintain balance. End users should aim for drugs, implants, or armor to reduce the pain of your soldiers/workers before and during battle.
Modders (and perhaps end users too) may refer and subscribe to Elite Archotech ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1744648077 ), another mod under my name, for inspiration and immediate usage.
There are some documentation on GitHub for modders too.
[h1]Known Issues and Latest News[/h1]
[list]
[*]This framework will throw errors if it detects any mod that tries to get the max HP of body parts without using this framework.
[*]Uninstalling this mod may have problems: if, after uninstallation, your colonists have body parts where the injury magnitude is larger than the max HP (e.g. injury at 26, EBF part gives max HP = 35, but vanilla only gives max HP = 20), those body parts will very likely become destroyed. This is vanilla behavior.
[*][b]24 Dec 2021: Compatibility with Humanoid Alien Races now fixed (only for RW >= 1.3); Special thanks to RocketDelivery![/b]
[*][b]2 July 2022: Compatibility with a whole bunch of other mods (e.g. Qaulity Bionics, Pawnmorpher) now fixed via Community Unification; refer to the Community Unification collection for more details[/b]
