Description
This mod has been replaced by https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2987595541, A Brave New Frontier has new original textures and items added that replace this mod, so this mod is now dead.

Description:
Industrial Armors were always neglected in Rimworld, the peak of flak armor is a simple front and backplate which is disappointing, so using Frontier Uniforms as a framework, I have improved the industrial armor situation as well as adding in various other forms of militaria to the Rim.

This is my attempt to improve the graphics of Frontier Uniforms, expand items available by the mod from armor and uniforms, and to make something that can fit into the Rimworld lore without fuss. That effort lead to this spiritual successor to Frontier Uniforms that only carries the grenade bandoleers from the original mods. In this effort I have used other mods that either allow others to use their resources or have been for lack of a better word abandoned by their creators or have lacked an update in over a year which means freegame unless the mod author tells me no.

Overall, I believe to have generally improved the textures of Frontier Uniforms and expanded into different aspects, such as uniforms for specialists and better armor for soldiers for those hardened veterans and those lazy butter-bar officers.

As for the foot issue I have been using full armor for digits so toes are covered

Im not sure what the stillsuit is but okay, thank you very much

3. I'm looking into getting new artwork and one of them is belt pouches, ammo bandoleers, and magazine pouches. So not really webbing but just more things to accessorize your colonists.
4. The Thermal Helmet are just to help with really cold weather, the ideal way of dealing with the heat is to have just the regular helmet because I couldn't give in to making an Arrakis clothing set with a stillsuit.

1. The Armor Covers the whole leg which means it overrides the foot so you don't need boots for it. Doing it so it doesn't cover the foot means a lot of your colonists are gonna lose their toes. However this is a small fix but it means removing protection for the whole leg or making the armor the shell layer which prevents coats being worn with or using the bandoleers. I have made the change though it might lead to problems with the armor's efficiency in combat.
2. I thought about doing pants and shirts dividing however doing it as a jumpsuit where it's simpler and makes it so the uniforms can be categorized. Rimmu-nation feels a bit bloated to me because its a lot of accessories and clothing. Though I get that people like that to really customize their pawns, it seem like to much to me and it would require much more work to make the pieces really mean something.

I also forgot to ask, will the thermal helmets have a variant to deal with heat?

So this might be a big comment:
Would you consider removing the flak light and heavy armor using the same slot that vanilla apparel uses for it’s boots? Also, I think uniforms should be two separate parts as shirt and pants rather than one suit, kind of like how rimmu-nation does it’s uniforms
(On that note webbing would be kind of a cool addition)
Either way this is a good mod

Thanks :D

@Lithe, Fixed it, stuff multipliers are now 1.2 for light and 1.5 for heavy with a difference of 0.5 for their respective helmets. Turns out I didn't save these changes before publishing but fixed now.

Despite costing more to make, the Heavy armors appear to have the same protective value as the light ones. I can't imagine this is intentional.

Fair Enough, added your mods to the requirements and if you wish for this mod to be delisted just give the word.
