Project Hero

Project Hero v0.15.11 -- Hand-Built Iron Man Suit-Ups, Mark 1 Ground Pound, Faster Flight, Research Note Serums, Safer Squad Pets

🔨 NEW: BUILD YOUR SUIT BY HAND (C)

• Mark 1 (30 seconds): press C with your Mark 1 in your pack and Tony builds it around himself with a hammer.
  • He sits down on the floor to fit the boots and greaves, hammering each one and pulling the straps tight.
  • He stands up, lifts the chestplate over his head and pulls it down, rivets it, hammers the bracer on his arm and rolls his shoulders.
  • The helmet goes on last and he pulls the faceplate down himself.
  • Every hammer strike throws sparks and clangs like an anvil.
• Marks 2 to 7 (25 seconds): pressing C now plays a refined workshop build instead.
  • You stay on your feet: step into the boots, ratchet the ankle bolts with a wrench, slap the greaves shut and tap them at the knee.
  • Clamp the chestplate shut, press the arc reactor home, rivet it, ratchet and clamp the gauntlets, then flex.
  • Helmet on, jaw clamps, neck bolt, and the faceplate comes down last.
• Each piece only goes on when it's actually fitted, so the suit builds up piece by piece.
• You can't move, jump, fly or use abilities during the build, and you can't be hurt while the suit is going on.
• Missing pieces are skipped, so a partial suit builds faster.
• The hammer and wrench are just for the animation, not items you keep.
• Logging out, changing dimension or the server stopping finishes the suit instantly. Dying stops the build, and nothing is lost or duplicated.
• Unchanged: the Stark Gantry, the Mark 5 suitcase, the Mark 7 bracelets and orbital pod, calling suits with the glasses, Protocol Phoenix, and the Mark 8's own suit-up.

🦾 IRON MAN CHANGES

• Haste: Marks 1 to 3 give Haste I, and Mark 4 and up give Haste II (hidden, like the suit's Resistance). Haste from potions or beacons is never removed.
• Your faceplate now closes automatically when you hit an enemy with a normal melee attack.
• Your suit no longer flies itself back to a Suit Platform when you die. It now drops like any other armour. Sending suits home from the Sneak+C picker still works.
• New Mark 1 recipes: each Mark 1 piece now needs the matching iron armour piece (iron helmet for the helmet, and so on) in the middle of its old Metal Plating recipe.
• Flight speeds:
  • Mark 2: 15 blocks/s, 30 blocks/s sprinting
  • Mark 3 to Mark 8: 18 blocks/s, 35 blocks/s sprinting
  • The suit spec screen now shows a Speed row.
• Mob highlight: measured as a full sphere around the middle of your body, so mobs far above and below you are outlined too, even through solid rock.
• Open faceplate: only the face of your skin's hat layer shows now. The hat layer no longer pokes out of the sides, top or back of the helmet.
• Auto-aim and lock-on no longer pick your squadmates' pets, your own pets, or players when PvP is off.

👊 MARK 1 COMBAT

• Strong Punch reaches 5 blocks (was 4), and is easier to land (it no longer passes over mobs' heads).
• It now has a small splash: anything within 2 blocks of the impact takes half damage and gets knocked back. Punching a wall or floor splashes too.
• NEW Shift+R, Ground Pound: slam the ground and hit everything within 5 blocks.
  • 12 damage at the centre, falling to 6 at the edge
  • Knocks enemies outward and pops them into the air
  • Rings of the ground's own block chunks fly out
  • Costs 40 energy, 8 second cooldown
  • Works up to 3 blocks above the ground
  • Never hits your squad

🧪 RESEARCH NOTES NOW MAKE SERUMS

• Damaged Research Notes finally have a use.
• Craft 4 notes about the same power + 1 Glass Bottle (any slots) to get that power's serum.
• Craft 4 blank notes + 1 Glass Bottle to get a Mutagenic Serum (a random mutation you don't have yet).
• Notes for powers that are currently disabled count as blank notes.
• Studying a note still unlocks its guide entry like before.
• The note's tooltip shows the recipe.

🐺 SQUADMATES' PETS ARE SAFE

• You can no longer hurt your squadmates' pets: wolves, cats, parrots, horses, Symbiote pet hosts and other mods' pets.
• Covers melee, arrows and other projectiles, and every power and ability, even while the pet's owner is offline.
• Auto-targeting, weapon combos, the Moon Knight grapple and healing all treat squadmates' pets as friendly.
• Squad friendly fire being on doesn't change this. It's for sparring with your squadmates, not their animals.

💼 KINGPIN'S STASH

• The stash from the Kingpin warehouse raid now includes 16 to 32 redstone (more with bigger parties) and a 50% chance of 1 to 2 redstone blocks.

🔫 PUNISHER SAFEHOUSE REBUILT

• Fixed the backwards ladder: it now sits against the wall so you can actually climb in and out.
• The hatch is now a wooden trapdoor you can open by hand (it used to be an iron one), sitting flush with the ground in a cobblestone ring.
• The bunker is deeper underground and fully rebuilt inside:
  • workbench wall with crafting, smithing and fletching tables, a grindstone and the barrel holding the Training Manual
  • a bed and the two loot chests
  • a firing range with a bullseye, hay backstop and target blocks
  • lanterns and a rug
• Same loot and same Training Manual as before.

🔥 LASER VISION COOKS

• Animals killed by Laser Vision (and Kryptonian Heat Vision) now drop cooked meat: cooked beef, porkchop, chicken, mutton, rabbit and fish.
• No fire is placed on the ground.

📖 The guidebook covers all of the above (hand-built suit-ups, Ground Pound, Haste, note serums, squad pets, the new stash).
