Hey guys! I'm not sure if this is where this goes if not could a mod move It for me? <3.

Anyways my question is what are your guy's suggestions on what to add to my powersuit. I'm not exactly rich so I would rather not waste any materials that I find out don't work.

I know this may seem like a dumb question but seeing as I've never toyed with MPS before I need help!

Thanks ahead of time!

It's customisable and really dependant on what you want but generally I use:

All Parts:
Energy Shield (you can use the physical armour but it's heavier and annoying)
Heat Sink (I go to the nether a lot, these combined with the cooling system are a lifesaver)
Elite Battery (if short on resources you can build up to this by starting out with smaller batteries)

Head:
Water electrolyser (not absolutely mandatory but it's saved me a lot of irritation)
Night vision (excellent for cave diving without torches)
Flight control (Without this, you can't hover with the jetpack. Vital)

Torso:
Jetpack (expensive, but the main reason anyone would want the suit in the first place)
Cooling system (again, not vital but I use it in the nether a lot)

Legs:
All the assists except step, that one is very annoying.
To begin with sprint and jump assists are great but they become obsolete once you get flight.
Swim assist is great, but it needs another Ion Thruster, which are the most expensive thing in the entire mod IIRC.

Feet:
Shock absorber (taking fall damage from landing when you've been flying under your own power is lame. This sorts it)

Also get the jet boots on the feet. It allows better speed and control over flight. Also get heat, solar, and kinetic generators. And be sure to get the water tank.
