ShieldGuard
An addon for ShieldGrid that makes force fields something you can actually see and react to.
ShieldGrid protects your base and your airships; ShieldGuard adds the feedback that was missing: a visible bubble, alerts when a shield goes down, and automation support.
Features
🛡️ Visible shield bubble
Every active shield draws an animated energy bubble showing exactly what it protects.
-
Works on the ground and on moving ships (Create Aeronautics / Sable): the bubble follows the hull.
-
Disappears as soon as the shield shuts down.
👁️ Cloaking
The shield owner gets a Visible / Cloaked button on the Shield Control screen.
-
Cloaked: other players no longer see the bubble.
-
The owner and trusted players always see it.
-
Only the owner (or an admin) can toggle it.
Cloaking is cosmetic. It hides the bubble's rendering, not the shield itself.
⚠️ Shield Shutdown alerts
When a shield collapses, a title shows "Shield Shutdown" with the cause:
-
out of energy
-
radar jamming Sent to the owner, trusted players, and anyone standing inside the shield (unless it is cloaked).
⚙️ Automation
The shield generator accepts fuel from hoppers, Create funnels and mechanical arms. Keep your shields running without opening the GUI.
