Exosuit Framework

this is a framework mod that allows modder to make their own customizable exosuit with a wide modifiability/cross-mod content compatibility and repair/maintenance hanger systems.

In-game Exosuits are a type of heavy power armor that requires assistance from the building to put on or take off.
they work like apparel but it will override some of the pawn's stat. has pros on its hitpoint system to avoid the pilot getting sniped by base game RNG when it is well-maintained and cons on they will trap its pilot once disabled so you have to rescue your pilot from wreckage.

A reasonable size of Exosuit is around 2~4 meters tall, limited by the size of rimworld passability.
for popular culture reference such as :
- The Power Loader from Aliens (1986)
- The MADOX-01 from Metal Skin Panic(1987)
- The Amplified Mobility Platform from Avatar(2009)
- The Exoframes from Obsolete(2019)

Of course, it is suggested for a reasonable gameplay. Modders can do whatever size as they wanted.

To get an operational exosuit, you must get a Core module and build a hanger with a gantry bay. open the tab and assemble modules. after that, choose your pilot to pilot your exosuits and keep an eye on their status, making sure they are stable and reliable.

Be aware, a pilot wearing exosuit is not able to be arrested or imprisoned, so a mental break or berserk pilot will easily wipe out an entire colony if you lacking counter weapon to disable the mad pilot.

While assembling the exosuit, decided by Modders, the exosuit has a range of customizability from extra functionality like jump pack, and cargo rack. or even an integrated heavy weapon.


Exosuit has its hitpoint system and will protect the pilot from getting injured, the amount of hitpoint is decided by the loaded module and its qualities, hitpoints can only be restored by repairing it after docking on a gantry bay.

Maybe its a good idea to leave some modules for backup as a precaution of urgent battle.

I guess this is the part players will care about, and YES, the NPC factions can spawn pawns with exosuit, as long as they have related pawnKindDef with a modExtension applied.

Spawned NPC Exosuit pilots will use the durability system the same as yours, they will also not be able to be directly imprisoned. to capture the pilot you can command your pawn to disassemble a downed exosuit to cut open its shell, during this process you might recover some of its modules or some metal scraps.

A: the color system not yet made, but you can use mod like charactor editor to change its color, it will be save in module.

A: Yes it is, but for content mod that depends on Modders.

A: this is an intended feature that they will follow the schedule to automatically get on / off by assigning them a gantry bay and a Pilot time table

A: We have a github repo here, and anyone is welcome to improve upon this somewhat rough framework :3

A: Sadly nope, Exosuit is more a special apparel(that doesn't show in-game) than a pawn or something else, this also means it will pass through a 1 cell tile door.

A: It is intended. you can't arrest a pawn wearing exosuit from whatever faction it belonging to, but you can force them to get out by dissembling the exosuit or taking them to a bay while they are downed.
