Object description

Nightvision is a kind of equipment module. It can be used by placing it in the grid that opens by right clicking the armor.

Having nightvision in the armor during the night changes the standard vision at night to be brighter with a slight grey overlay that drains non-lit areas of color. Equipping multiple nightvision units provides no effect other than consuming more power. Nightvision turns off and requires no energy during the day time.

Nightvision requires a suit energy supply to function. Unfortunately its complementary tech portable solar panel does not provide energy at night, and the nightvision's internal buffer of 120 kJ will drain in a few seconds. To get any use out of nightvision requires either a battery to retain power or constant power generation, such as portable fission reactor.

When placed in a vehicle, the effects only work when the player enters or remote controls the vehicle. In contrast, nightvision placed in player's armor will always function, including in remote view, across surfaces, and while remote-controlling a vehicle that doesn't have nightvision.

Nightvision is the only module to be absolutely unaffected by quality. It can be made in higher quality, but it will have no effect on its functionality. It is the only craftable item unaffected by quality that's not a tile or an intermediate product.
