The idea

A bigger shield. Built for your community.

I built this mod for the SiNNERVARK Community to protect larger bases with a much wider TEK shield. It upgrades the standard TEK Forcefield with five times the shield radius and reduced Element consumption.

The extra protection comes with a more expensive crafting recipe. Defeat the Alpha Overseer to unlock its engram; it cannot be learned normally by spending engram points. Server owners can adjust the radius to suit their community.

Currently in testing. Public installation details and a CurseForge link will be added when available.

What it brings to your game

  • 5× shield radius by default, giving buildings and creatures more room beneath the shield
  • Reduced Element consumption for lower running costs
  • Increased crafting requirements to balance the wider protection
  • Engram unlocked by defeating the Alpha Overseer
  • Configurable shield radius through GameUserSettings.ini

Getting started

  1. Installation details will be added when this project is released.

INI configuration

Stop your server, then add this section to GameUserSettings.ini:

ini
[SiNNERVARKShield]
Radius=5.0

Radius sets the shield radius multiplier.

SettingShield radius
Radius=1.0Standard radius
Radius=2.0Twice the standard radius
Radius=5.0Five times the standard radius — default

If you leave out the setting, the mod uses 5.0. Save the file and start your server to apply it.
