Flak don't have to suck

Description
[Updated for 1.5]
[Compatibility with MiddleOnlyFlakPants]

This mod aims to 'rebalance' flak jackets and pants by allowing you to make them out of any textile and by making them take into account the material they are made of. Vanilla flak jackets are supposedly made of cloth, A.K.A. the worst textile in the game, so I balanced this mod around that. However, flak jackets and pants now cost 10 more textile and 10 less steel to compensate. I also made it so that your flak jackets are (almost) never going to better than a power armor.

Flak jacket & pants armor : Sharp : 31% + 25%*Material / Blunt : 8% + 25%*Material
Flak vest : Sharp : 96% + 15%*Material / Blunt : 36% + 15% * Material

With only this mod, Core and Harmony active in 1.5, the game throws an error on loading: "Error in static constructor of MAFA.AutoPatcher: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'MAFA.AutoPatcher' threw an exception. ---> System.MissingMethodException: void Verse.Log.Message(string,bool)"
I'm new to this Harmony patching thing and still learning, so I thought I'd take a look and see if I could figure out what the problem is. I think the bool argument just needs to be removed from Log.Message because there's no method in 1.5 to take it.

I'm finding that industrial-level towns will refuse to buy the flak items which were added by this mod, while they will still buy normal (cloth) flak vests. That seems like it probably just needs a small patch from you. Would you please look into it?

Sounds like pretty good balance. Thanks!

@[Liar] Lucky Flak vests made of any material with more than 66% sharp or blunt armor. Note however that they only protect the torso and that vanilla flak vests are fairly though anyway, having an armor of 100% compared to the 106% of marine armors.

Flak jackets and pants could be superior to a power armor of the same quality only if a material with 300% armor existed, but hyperweave, the thoughest vanilla material only have 200%.

Quality is going to be your biggest concern, a legendary flak jacket made of tough leather (bearskin or wolfskin for instance) is going to be thougher than a normal quality power armor
