Better Shield Drones Fixed

Descrição
This is a fixed version of a handy mod - 'Better Shield Drones!'
The original mod wholly replaced mechparts_arm.config instead of patching it. This breaks other mods *and* some vanilla arms as well- namely the beam drill and the solus katana.
This mod uses a .patch file to make the changes instead, meaning better (read: any) mod combatibility!

What this does:
Changes the functionality of the shield drone mech arm.
You can now summon up to 6 drones at a time, and they will orbit around you.
Shield drone health has been reduced from 8,000 down to 2,000

I haven't done any balance testing yet - Suggestions are welcome!

I have to give credit to Nova Orbital for the idea (though this mod exists due to improper modding etiquette)

This mod is ENTIRELY INCOMPATABLE with the original mod.
(Your game won't crash, but unsubsribe from the original just in case.)

Yeah, Sayter did create a whole line of shield arms, the highest level version being able to drop six shields IIRC.

It should.
This just edits some values for the Shield Drone Mech Arm (mecharmshielddrone), so unless FU also changes those values, it'll be fine. If anything funky happens, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Do take note; a quick wiki search shows that FU adds a different (if likely similar) arm -the Shield Mech Arm (mecharmshielddrone0)- which is available much earlier. This mod does not change the functionality of that arm.

Will this version play nice with FU?

alright, i suspected as much, just wanted to be sure (also so you don't have anyone claiming the mod is broken, you may want to add a note in the description).

@Material Defender No real reasoning other than 2000 being a even-er number than 3000. Given how quickly you can replace shields, I figured 1k fewer hitpoints wouldn't affect usability too much.

@Greystar Afaik, most items in starbound store their data in the instance of the item. The items-as-coded are basically just 'templates' that the game uses to create items when they get crafted.
Basically, make another mech arm and it should be modded.

i've got that arm on my mech and im subscribed to this mod however i added the mod after I already had the arm, but I can only deploy 1 shield.

why 2000 instead of 3000? Just curious
