Tadpole Explosion Mod

Have you ever gotten your Tadpole all the way to 0% health, it exploded, and you thought "Oh gosh, this is it! My Tadpole is gone forever..." and then your Tadpole was still present in the world, able to be repaired, driven, and enjoyed once again? Do you want to feel the weight of your careless actions when you refuse to get out and repair your trusty steed? Do you remember the time you lost your first Seamoth, and vowed to never again recklessly drive into Reaper territory, and want to honor that commitment with your Tadpole too?

If you answered "Yes!" to any or all of the questions above, then this is the mod for you!

Description

The Tadpole Explosion Mod is a simple Lua mod that periodically scans for broken Tadpole actors in the world, and if detected, destroys the Tadpole actor and its corresponding PDA signal. Be warned: if your Tadpole explodes, you will lose the chassis, hard point attachments, and any upgrades and/or power cells stored within. 

I have only tested this mod in single-player, but I imagine that it would work in multiplayer as long as the host and/or all players have the mod installed (Forgive me, I am not yet familiar with multiplayer mods for this game). In my testing, the Tadpole and its PDA signal both disappear in the explosion every single time, as soon as the Tadpole reaches 0% health.

Since this was a feature in previous Subnautica games, it might be added to Subnautica 2 at some point. But until then (or if it never happens!), this mod will be around.

Note: I don't anticipate this mod will break between updates, but I will update it whenever necessary. Also, please let me know of any issues you encounter with this mod, and I will be sure to address them. ☺️
