Notice regarding Special Modules Parts
[b]Sorry guys! The Body parts have been removed.[/b]
While investigating some bugs, I realized that the current code—especially for the Body parts—was too disorganized and causing performance issues.
As my coding skills are still improving, I decided to remove them for now rather than trying to maintain the current state. I plan to study more and hope to re-implement them properly in the future.

Compatibility
I have applied these features to as many modded shuttles as possible that use the standard Shuttle DEF. Please report if there are any incompatible mods.
The modded shuttles I have tested and confirmed to be compatible are:

Note
This mod was created using AI. Hail AI! Ultron will soon rule the earth.
I checked for bugs as much as possible while playing, but unlike the great ruler Ultron, the creator's intelligence is equal to a mushroom, so there may be a lack of optimization or some bugs. (At least none were found in my playthrough. Sorry if there are bugs!)
