Bone Armor

[scintillian]

My bone armor that I make is useless. I was at 4 bars and burning bodies to make more when I overstepped onto the fire for nor more than 2 seconds and this destroyed all 4 bars of bone armor. Is that normal?

Bone armour won't protect you from standing in a fire. :)

[scintillian]

i would think between naked and bone armor that bone armor would offer some protection but like I said...."it's useless"....if I stand in a fire for 2 seconds I die just as fast with it on as I do with it off.

its useless because you stand on a fire? great logic

Fire damage is one that can bypass armor (and in the case of stealth armor, burns it even faster). A bit like armor not protecting you from poison, drowning, falling, or starvation. In the case of fire, it doesn't completely save you and it gets burned alongside you. It's by no means useless though, armor is just mostly intended to help you with direct physical damage.

The way it normally works is like temporary hit points. Incoming damage from attacks takes from the health pool of the armor before it takes from your own health, but some forms of damage can still harm you in a more direct manner. Bone armor would be the second best available in the game for it's intended purpose. Just mind your fires and you'll be fine.

lets look at it a little bit more in depth than your useless reply.....when you burn the mutants all that remains, UNTOUCHED, are bones, which you then turn into bone armor.....so it would not be wrong to assume the bone armor would then carry through some of the same characteristics that the original bones had....being able to survive fire?

lol...yes I will try harder to not go stepping in fires....but as I have said before I don't think it is out of the realms of possibility to assume that bone armor should have fire protection characteristics.

if you play on normal stepping on a fire use a little more than 1 bone armor if you play on hard i think its 2 and on hs, you lose like 3 or 4 pieces of armor, ohh yeah its totally useless

is it just me, how can bone armour protect against fire. it bone and zero protection agains fire.. real world and you would still be toast.

why relate anything to "real world" is just retarded...why do you assume that bone has zero protection against fire????......what do you base this information on????....if you read before writing you might see that I had already explained my reasoning behind why bone armor should have fire protection capabilities...that is because it is created using fire and does not burn in fire....so it is not unreasonable to think that it would have fire protection capabilities....but this may be too difficult to understand and all I can say it is better to say nothing then nobody knows you're an idiot

funny kid logic, im sure you wont read this. ofc bones dont burn in fire, then you craft a bone armor with cloth, dont you think if you put a piece of these on a fire it would burn.(not talking about real life but why not mention real life since your reasoning has no logic behind)
this is how armor work in this game, and it does protect you from fire you simply have to wear more than 1 piece depending on the difficulty, so, in game you have no logic and dont want to be mentionned about real life, interesting. welcome kunning kruger effect, do you also belive the earth is flat.

Wouldn't by that same logic mean firefighters should wear bones? Clearly they don't as it wouldn't protect them. It's just a game, but like others said it doesn't provide protection, it's like extra health essentially. You'll still take the same fire damage

once again I ask myself why people introduce reality into an online game discussion....I really hope to ♥♥♥♥ that you people know the difference....seriously wtf have firefighters got to do with anything "Forest" related...sooooo......plenty of online games that have bone armor that have fire resistance as an attribute.....there's a discussion point....hopefully stay on point.....

Resistance, yes. Immunity, no. The bone armor does defend against fires to a degree, it is slightly resistant. That's already a bit impressive when considering that our bone armor is just limb bones tied on us with standard highly flammable cloth. The bones themselves may have passed through a fire once, they may be resistant to fire, but there's still plenty of bare skin exposed that isn't.

If we want to discuss the logic of something "forged" in fire having a resistant to said fire, then we sort of have to discuss logical functions of reality, or realism, to discuss the topic properly. Video games can work however they want, sure, but if the game mechanics are based on real logic then it's real logic we need to discuss. Logically, if you just tie random bones to your squishy bits then yes, those bones may be decent at stopping a swing from an external enemy, but there's also no reason the wearer of such armor would actually have any resistance to fire. You drop that person in a fire pit and the bones they were wearing, along with their own bones, should be the only thing left by the games logic. The bones are fire resistance, your flesh is not, and the bones do not fully cover or encase your flesh in order to offer proper protection against fire specifically.

Although I will also point out there is one thing that works both in game and by irl logic that also applies to catching yourself on fire. Generally if your rear end is burning, jumping in water is helpful.
