deerskin pants bonus stack?

[MrMittzu]

Hi, I made 2 deer pants and, for my surprise, its status is not stacking...

I get the warmth bonus but the other status seem to not stack


ps: interloper mode

windproof stat works only for outer layer

[goblin]

Yes that is utterly ridiculous.

hilariously defensive bonus is also outer layer only. wear some jeans over your deerskin pants?? NO DEFENSE. brilliant

I don't understand... explain to me in a clear way, please.

this makes no sense in either defence or wind because every layer does add protection from both in reality. This needs to be changed.

Only the outter layer counts for Windproof or Defence bonus, but on the bright side, only the outter layer degrades from getting chewed on by a wolf or walking in a blizzard.
It might not be balanced or logical, but I'd rather keep it like this instead of risking having both my hats ruined at once when things go real bad.

Huh? the jeans would get ripped alot easier than the deerskin. (attacked by a wolf once and my 90% jeans went to 15%.)

So for all clothing only the outer layer influences defence and windproof, and unless you fall through the ice it is the only layer that will get wet/frozen. Inner layers add their warmth bonus ONLY.

I usually have snow pants as an inner layer under work pants or deerskin, because they're very warm and the outer layer is the only one that needs to be tough. There are pros and cons to this setup and it does mean that if you layer jeans over your deerskin you will lose all the protection of the deerskin and the windproof, which is ridiculous.

A suggestion to the devs, if there is only going to be one layer contributing to the windproof and protection, it should be whichever layer has the highest bonus, not whichever item is in the outer slot.

Oh wow. I didn't notice this before. So let me see if I get this.

1. Defense and Windproof are only counted on the outer layer. What about waterproof? That is a separate stat, right?

2. The second layer could be weaker, so it gives you a chance to wear something lighter. Still warm but doesn't weigh as much as the items with higher defense.

I'm just asking because I've been bulking out all that I can for both warmth and defense, and I'm just on Pilgrim. I'm thinking it would be nice to weigh less, so I can carry more.

He's talking about defense not durability. I assume the defense attribute of the deerskin pants is nullified if it is the inner layer.

I have to look more closely next time I play, but I think the outer layer has to be 100% saturated before the inner layers are affected - except maybe for the feet . I seem to recall socks and shoes getting soaked simultaneously.
