Anyone designing mecha skins with specific values in mind? Adding HP/Alter energy consumption.

Title is the topic. Or if someone has a neat colletion, please share.

Or just worked out what the actual underlying relations are between materials and durability and efficiency?

Titanium seems a safe bet and I bet titanium alloy is even better. When you look at Icarus 3 that comes with the game ir gets extremely heavy is almost 170% energy to run and has almost 4K HP as opposed to my 2600 with the base. I actually don't know how to choose the materials.

Edit. I just found it. It actually tells you in the editor. Carbon Nanotubes titanium alloy graphene and some other things seem to be the best.
But the best armor seems to be made completely out of matrix cubes, the universe matrix being the best.

Just look at those values. Jumped up from scracthing 4K HP to 7000 but also 200% energy consumption.

Edit: I converted all materials of the icarus 2 Mecha to graphene. It costs abput 60K graphene, which is not too shabby, especially when you have an ice giant. That is basically free.

It doubles the HP and raises the energy cost a bit.

Carbon nanotubes are even stronger, and then comes titanium allow and some other things. I think titanium crystals are also pretty good, but the best are most likely still the cues but they are expensive. When it tried to set everything to universe matrix it said it cost around 250.000 white cubes. The insanity. But the HP went almost to 10K.

is it just colour that determined material type I don't see any specific 'choose the material' options? maybe I just missed them.

First you choose a Mecha that has custom parts. Then you click a custom part and a new box appears with options to do things with blocks. Default the arrow is active, change that to the cube and the materials UI will pop up where you can change them.

I don't know which one is which but I think you can make 8 different groups which you then can use to quickselect any armorpart to have that material.

In that selection when you click a material it will tell you its values like cost structural, and density.
I think the cost is a material muultiplier, the higher that is the more you have to pay to unlock it. Density is most likely about the weight and energy consumption and the structural one probably HP.

I would love to have an ARM Commander or a CORE Commander skin from Total Annihilation :) <3
