Some of my mechs seem to have a new armor quirk that is listed right on the component itself in mech lab. this shows up on a few of my mechs, but is especially noticeable on the highlader-IIC-C.



as you can see there are little green numbers on each body part that tell my i have an armor bonus (just to the right of where it say 'armor' on the component). it has a +16 on the right arm giving me 76 armor, and i can put 26 on my head.

yay extra armor! right? well its also very glitchy when you try to relocate it. it wont lit me drop the rear torso armor past 8 (also turns the number green) sometimes armor wont go on unless i try a few times, and even when i save the mech i find that when i go back into the mech lab some of the armor values have change by themselves.

so im not sure what i actually have on the mech and cant play it

Those green bonus values are also minimum limits created by Quirks which you can't drop below, because they're not considered in the Mech's Basic Weight. Just enjoy having the extra minimum of armor, alright? It used to be that those weren't visibly indicated directly in the MechLab.

Personally, I wish they hadn't totally ripped a ton of Quirks off of the Catapult and Nova Chassis. Those two sets of Variants are now Severely Underpowered, and are killed all too easily. That last Quirk removal for those needs to be undone by 50% to make the Mechs minimally viable and usable.

As for it not saving the values properly, you might want to keep a better eye on what values you're saving. It's at all possible that you've fallen afoul of some hidden safety or bug in the game code.

Making quirks visible in the lab in green saves going back to the select menu inventory to see them. Clan Omnis all showed the quirks for the pods, but the IICs lacked that and no IS mechs previously did it. So far its just extra armor quirks showing, not the structure quirks.
