Would be a nice thing to have, so I don’t have to always leave my bags and electronics behind when I head off to purge the xenos and abominations.

There’s no way to do this currently, so I turn off the EMP damage to electronics with a mod. I had considered a recipe that results in a device without the ELECTRONIC flag but turning emp off was easier.

Do you have a link to that mod or is it in the latest PR?

Make a file called modinfo.json and paste everything above the line breaks into it, drop that into a new folder in your mods folder and you’re good to add it to a world. Aftershock also does this but it’s got a whole mod attached to it 😛
