Compatibility notes

The Tactical Charged Gear Mod requires JecsTools for its chip slotting system and must be loaded after core components but before this mod.

Compatible with:

• Ammunition: Sets default ammo type to battery for relevant weapons.
• Rimatomics: Adds radiation resistance to power armour.
• Ground Turret Mod: Native support if loaded.
• JetPack: Adds TC-enabled jetpacks, enhanced further with Medical Supplements.
• Multiplayer: Native (beta) support.
• Vanilla Furniture Expanded – Production: Additional toolbox compatibility.

Incompatibilities:

• Adeptus Mechanicus – Armoury R1.1: Uses a conflicting custom version of JecsTools CompSlotLoadable.

Additional notes:

• Research becomes available after Charged Shot in its own tab.
• Chip items are intentionally limited to stack size one due to JecsTools limitations.
