[OUTDATED] Ruins Enhanced

OUTDATED SINCE THE NEW VANILLA RUINS UPDATE + I DONT HAVE PLANS TO UPDATE THIS



Why modding ruins?

Vanilla ruins have not been looked at for a while, carrying some issues with them. Some rooms have wiring issues, map generation problems, guardians get stuck, submarine guns can cut through everything, "puzzles" are simplistic...

This mod aims to fix technical issues, but also improve the design of ruins to make them more challenging and dynamic.




Ruins cannot be broken through
Walls and doors are invulnerable. Prevents cutting through ruins with sub guns or forcing your way through doors. You will need to find natural entrances.
No more cheese!


Guardians
Guardians are now slightly smaller, don't get stuck as much and can access every room and any tunnel.
They can sometimes use shortcuts that humans cannot.
Damage resistances have been changed so your damage consistent and less random.
Guardians can also activate traps inside certain rooms.
Guardians no longer lose health in overdrive/panic mode, gain damage resistance instead.

Room/module changes:
Ruins have more entrances as a whole (to compensate for indestructible walls).
Room passages are generally wider
Chasm rooms use water-based traps
Terminals are either used in puzzles, or not used at all
Less doors between modules

Artifact changes:
Artifact transport cases require batteries to cancel artifact effects
All artifacts somewhat changed (no more dumping the artifacts in ballast and forgetting about them)
Sky Artifact now drains water
Thermal Artifact periodically produces hot steam in water
Faraday Artifact range increased (EMP strength decreased)
Psychosis Artifact range increased, periodically causes Watcher's gaze
Nasonov Artifact disrupts the sonar

Misc:
You can now recharge Alien Cells inside Alien Generators
You can blow up Alien Generators and Incubation bubbles
Guardian pods repair themselves slowly if active
