Upgrades mod?

[Heartless]

Found out yesterday(too late) that moving a mech to cold storage also removes the cantina upgrades that you put millions of C-bills and game years into. Looking for a mod that allows you to keep the upgrades that you put on mechs when you have to put them in cold storage for what ever reason. Didn't see any in the workshop.

Doesn't YAML keep mech loadouts and upgrades when put into cold-storage?

There's https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/514 ("Restore Traits") but it hasn't been updated for DLC4.

Last I checked, which admittedly was a while ago, YAML had options to retain mech loadouts but it didn't support keeping Cantina upgrades.

Yes YMAL still has that option to keep loadouts in cold storage. So I shouldn't put Cantina upgrades on any mechs going into storage?

[Sentient_Toaster]

Yeah, only apply those upgrades to mechs that you won't be storing any time soon.

Honestly I just got a no storage cost mod so I don't have to deal with cold storage juggling at all for the most part.

YAML has an option to not strip mech fittings when you put them in cold storage, but Cantina upgrades get completly deleted.

Basically I only upgrade Mechs that stay in the active bay, and move in and out of cold storage others that I don't upgrade and I use when I need them (mostly mediums).

Restore traits worked like a charm then you didnt need to spend money again to reupgrade something.
It broke with DLC4.
Currently since we can have 40 mechs it is less of an issue but it would be handy to have again.

it made me stop using the cold storage as much as before :(

[necro55]

Yeah the mod made cold storage a much better option. Especially with the mod options mod that allowed it to save full config loadouts too.
While i do t really need it as much now that i can have 40 but still it was good to have.

i think the updated QOL 2 mod lets you save loadouts and stuff same author as yaml

Well, if it helps - A leopard Drop ship should not have cold storage - Nor, should it be able to carry more that 4 mechs period.

As was said above - there are mods (are they up to date?) but this whole cold storage blunder was PGI's attempt having a way to store extra mechs without openly going against canon..... ???

The correct solution would be something like was done in Battletech PC game or just have a larger dropship, or some form of home base.

being able to earn the owner's rights of a planet from one of the great houses to set up a home base should of been a thing in this game at least in career mode, campaign it be a bit more tricky since De Berry is Masons home base until black inferno torches it
