Project Hero v0.15.8 -- Faster Stark Gantry Beat, Mark 5 Suitcase Build Rework, Animated Suitcase Packing

🏗️ STARK GANTRY: NEW SUIT-UP TIMING

• The gantry no longer waits for each piece to finish building before fitting the next one. The pieces now go on to a fixed beat:
  • Chestplate (top half) first
  • 1 second later the right gauntlet, 0.2 seconds after that the left gauntlet
  • 1 second later the right boot, 0.2 seconds after that the left boot
  • 1 second later the leggings
  • 1 second later the helmet
  • 1 second later the faceplate
• The parts that build themselves on (the rest of the chest, the arms, the sleeves, the legs, the pant-leg layer) still build at the same speed as before. They start the moment the part they grow from is fitted and keep building while the arms carry on.
• The gauntlets ride up the floor elevator side by side, and so do the boots. Each arm grabs the one on its own side.
• The robotic arms move at their normal speed. When an arm has its next part due, it heads straight back to the elevator as soon as its clamps lock instead of returning to its hover first.
• The chest, leggings, helmet and faceplate are carried by whichever arm is free first.
• A full suit now takes about 11 seconds instead of about 22.
• Taking the suit off on the gantry is the same sequence played backwards.

💼 MARK 5 SUITCASE: NEW SUIT-UP

• Right-click the case and you bring it to your chest, where it becomes the top half of the chestplate.
• The rest of the chestplate builds on from there, texel by texel like the gantry suit-up.
• Then the arms build down from your shoulders to your hands.
• Then the legs build from the top of your thighs down to the soles of your boots.
• Then the helmet rises up from the back of your neck over your head, and the faceplate closes down out of it last.
• The full suit-up takes 7 seconds.
• Pressing C to take it off plays the exact same thing backwards (also 7 seconds) and folds it back into the case in your hand.
• The suit's lights stay dark until each piece is whole.

📦 SUIT PLATFORM: ANIMATED SUITCASE TAB

• Pressing the Suitcase tab with a Mark 5 racked now closes the screen so you can watch.
• The suit folds itself up on the rack: faceplate, helmet, legs, arms, then the chest.
• The suitcase forms at the suit's chest, snaps shut, drops to the pad and hops into your pack (about 3.5 seconds).
• The rack is locked while it packs, so nothing can be taken, called or deployed from it mid-fold.
• If you've walked off (more than 24 blocks away), the case is left on the platform for you.

📘 GUIDE & MENUS

• Guide pages updated: Stark Gantry (the new timing), Mark 5 (the new suit-up and take-off), Suit Platform (the animated Suitcase tab).
