Do you hate early game Factorio? Are you addicted to bots in the way that only heroin addicts can relate to? Or do you like bots and exoskeletons in general, but just play with people who at best just tolerate the early game, and as soon as they can, build a dual construction/logistics bot plant, complete with circuits to limit the number of bots that will be injected to the network, but then set the limits to 10,000 even though you barely have two iron patches? Or do you just want to roleplay as an engineer who had some armor before they crashed on Nauvis?

Then this mod may be for you!

When you first start, you will load in with some Power Armor (base model, not MK2). The level of quality can be adjusted through the mod settings, allowing customization of which suit of armor is provided. It defaults to the rare quality, which means that the first straight upgrade to inventory / equipment grid size would be normal quality Mech Armor. This provides a balance between truly starting with end-game armor and removing the need to ever reach for an actual upgrade, and starting out with minimal power armor that you would upgrade almost instantly.

If a player dies and loses their armor, it will not return. Be careful, or play with your friends. (Or find friends, if needed.)

Bonus features!

• 100 construction bots!
• A setting to adjust how many tiers of bot speed research you start with!

The quality tiers approximately include:

• All sets include a fusion reactor, batteries, night vision goggles, exoskeletons, and roboports.
• Uncommon quality includes belt immunity equipment, a shield, toolbelts, and "more" of everything.
• Rare (the default) includes more of all of the above.
• Epic introduces personal laser defense, and more of all of the above.
• Legendary adds even more of all of the above.

This has been very lightly tested, but it shouldn't introduce any desyncs.
