I turned my airship shield block into a full modular shield system (ShieldGrid Mod)
I posted an earlier version of ShieldGrid before, but the mod has changed a lot since then.
The shield is no longer just a single block. It is now a modular system built from connected parts like a Shield Controller, Shield Module, Shield Stabilizer, Shield Generator, Shield Battery, Range Extender, and Shield Radar.
The controller manages the shield, the generator produces energy from fuel, batteries store extra energy, and the radar can temporarily disable nearby shields as counterplay.
Shields can block or bounce projectiles, reduce outside explosions, and interact with Create Big Cannons projectiles. There is also optional Create Aeronautics / Sable support, so shields can work on supported moving contraptions and airships.
I also added a Ship Shape mode, where the shield can follow the shape of the ship instead of only being a simple box.
Still polishing the UI, textures, balance, and performance, but I wanted to show the new modular system.
What features would you want to see in a Create-style shield system?
