[ACF] Armored Combat Framework

Description
NOTE: THIS IS THE ONLY OFFICIAL UPLOAD OF ACF ON THE WORKSHOP!

Additionally, a prop protection mod with CPPI[ulyssesmod.net] support is not required, but we still highly recommend that you use one such as Nadmod PP.

Armored Combat Framework (ACF) is a massive addon that implements a damage system for props and players, while also providing entities and tools to build fairly realistic armored combat vehicles. Players may choose from an array of guns, ammo types, crates for fuel and ammo, engines, transmissions and more while armoring their contraptions for combat. All of the vehicles that you see in the screenshots above were created in-game by our community.

Ammunition is customizable with varying ballistic performance along with armor being customizable for protection against various threats. ACF is intended to be balanced for multiplayer and competitive use but there is, of course, nothing wrong with blasting some NPCs.

Want to know how to get started with ACF? Check out the wiki at https://github.com/ACF-Team/ACF-3/wiki!

@thecraftianman
The new legality restrictions baked into the mod, the forcing you to use ACF turret rings and baseplates. Even when disabled serverside, they still cause problems, especially with gearboxes not functionally correctly.
Architector #4 Dec 25, 2025 @ 2:17pm 
I think people are generally mad at all the somewhat recently introduced restrictions centered around competitive play. Crew systems, enforcement of baseplates and exact Correct parenting/welding setups and whatnot.

Seems there's a big part of userbase just using ACF creatively and having fun in ways incompatible with this idea of competitive play, so these restrictions just put a hindrance on that, which pisses people off lol

@cozmo They should be enabled by default but you can turn them on in the serverside settings if they aren't already.

@Cut Copper Stairs Probably not since they got removed for a reason.

@dR KILL What change are you talking about exactly? I don't think we made any changes like that recently.
Araziff Dec 25, 2025 @ 2:11am 
This new update is completely unnecessary and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥. ACF was perfectly fine before, this update is trying to fix something that simply doesn't require fixing and ends up making it worse. It makes countless builds obsolete for no reason and makes the system even more complicated for again no reason. It heavily restricts creativity by trying to 'balance' the mod when it was perfectly fine before.

will there ever be setting for legacy models?
