Crafting armor?

[HunterAlpha1]

So I know we can make guns, but I'm not seeing anything ingame about how to craft armor. Please tell me that in a game where we can produce intricately detailed mechanical devices, up to and including space ships, that we somehow can't manage to rivet some leather straps to a metal plate?

You can craft armor on the machining table.

There is very little metal armour you can craft as a note though. Mostly it's 'clothing' which if you look at the stats for a duster made of devilstrand or of elephant leather are pretty good.

Dang, to the Steam workshop I go! Anyone have the name of a mod that allows crafting of the vanilla armor?

[Nemund]

Uh, you mean the vest & the power armour? Pretty sure you don't need a mod for that. It's just there are only the two armour items in vanilla.

Well there is no medevil plate armor in the game, but it isnt a medevil game. Armored Vests, smoke belts, shield belts, power armor, power armor helmets, steel/plasteel helmets, advanced steel/plasteel helmets, phychoid helmets.......actually the game has some armor, like i said, no medevil armor types, but that woudnt fit in the game setting. It is a colonysim in the end, not age of empires ;).

Smoke belts are either new or you have a mod in that list already, ditto don't remember advanced helmets existing in vanilla

[Telerion]

a17 add alot ;).
I dont use mods, besides the "prepare carefully" mod, so yes, all of that is in vanilla ;).

Ok I guess I just hadn't researched the machining table yet.
