New armour Ideas

[Novak 67]

Well, I have some Ideas in mind that can help you, such as....

Carbon-weaver armour, Level 3, non-random, only can be obtained by thinkers by fabricating barrels of carbon-weaver nanos, has 2-3 times more health than normal plasteel, light weight, but resistant to NOTHING, it cannot even resist a laser shot, for people who wants raw armour, nothing else.

Monopole dust plate, Level 6, non-random, only can be obtain by tinkers by fabricating barrels of monopole dust, creates field of 1 health around the segment, that makes you immune to ion effects, instead, ion weapons with ion effects converts the weapon damage to regenerating your shield, but the armour has poor defence against other attacks. For people who get annoyed by EMP attacks and device ionisation during mid-game, but device ionisation is not really a thing here.

Since I am not really experienced with modding, I just did not create a mod with these armors

I hope they are useful.

'ere you go:

</ItemType>

This is all the coding needed to create the contents of your mod.
You need to create these entity declarations yourself:

Code: Select all

&tpNewTinkerArmourInit;
&itCarbonWeaverPlate;
&itMonopolePlate;

The Getting Started with Modding tutorial o.a. explains how to register them.

Thanks, I never thought that the community respond THAT quickly.
