FAQ
Q: Is this mod save-compatible?
A: Yes, you can add it mid-game. However, please backup your save before removing it.
Q: Is it compatible with CE (Combat Extended)?
A: CE supports mow.
Q: Why does my crafted XH-P6 look different from the showcase?
A: The helmet only adopts the showcase appearance after you equip it AND install Ceramic Armor Plates. It also negates head damage once.
Q: Why isn’t the XH-C5 designed as a helmet for the Mechanitor?
A: In my concept, the Mechanitor is more like a general who commands the battlefield from the rear. At the same time, the Mechanitor already has a wide range of related expansions. Therefore, during the early design stage, I decided not to reinvent the wheel and instead pursue a different design direction.
This helmet was created as a result of that choice. When a human soldier equips the XH-C5, they effectively become a squad leader—capable of flexibly leading mechs and deploying across the planet to carry out a wide variety of missions.
Q: Where can I report bugs or give feedback?
A: In the comment section below.
Q: What is the best way to provide balance feedback?
A: Please be polite, rational, and provide specific examples or scenarios.
Q: What is the intended environment/role for this power armor?
A: My ideal balance goal for the DMS series is for armored pawns to have higher survivability than humanoid mechs.
Q: What is the Ancot lib used for? I dont want use it
A: No prob to remove but will miss a ranged dodge.

Author's Note: I poured a lot of love and patience into this project—from planning and recruiting to texture auditing and task coordination. There were ups and downs, and I've learned a lot about teamwork and handling things over these six months. We finally ground this mod out. I'm absolutely exhausted on release day; I'm going to sleep in for a few days!
