oh yeah the thermal protection is very welcomed. Thermal canisters were ripping through 4 layers of diamond 2x1s like they were nothing

Ty for the update :)

Version 1.2.0

Updated for Cosmoteer version 0.30.0, adds foldable menu and proper thermal protection similar to Sir Evans's Tristeel Armor Mod.

Please let me know if there are any issues with it.

@Midiray:Yup, that's definitely a bug. Resistances didn't use to work this way as any non-specific resistance would use the same value as the default one.

Thanks for reporting all.

The reason resistance is needed is because heat does % damage so it removes diamond armor at the same rate as normal armor without resistance, my ship got slaughtered in career because the enemy had a little support thermal lance.

I'm probably gonna settle for 25% as well. More shouldn't be needed for this armor.

I was working on some new armor sets for extended tech tree mod, but since I don't play the game anymore the question will be if I ever will release these.

Yup, part of new Overclock update. Heat effect results in part taking more damage, so new weapon effectivelly goes through the ships like hot knife through butter.

I was wondering about resistance to heat, if this makes sense for our armors? After all diamonds are pretty flammable, not sure if Tristeel would be heat resistant either. But I think I'll settle for 25% heat resistance.

Guess maybe we could use a "new" ceramic plating or something :D

@sir Evans: Is that part of the vanilla game now?
I still need to implement your tweaks for the diamond armor mod, will probably implement this fix at the same time.

Thermal lances. They seem to melt right through our armors :)

@Midiray:What is a TRL?
It does sound like a bug though. I'll add it to my todo list. The last patch made some changes to resistances, but this armor wouldn't be affected due to the very high amount of hp and high pen resistance.

Is it possible for you to give the diamond armor partial heat resistance? TRLs tear right through it :(

Thanks mate, amazing mod I really love it

@DLockholm: Thanks for the feedback, I've put it on my todo list.

I love this mod though not all the diamond parts are appearing on the "armor and structure" tab, on my end I can only see the dia+structure wedges and triangle, the other parts are only in the Defenses tab. It would be nice to have them grouped in their own tab much like tri-steel armor and vanilla armor

Version 1.1.4a

Initial release for Cosmoteer 0.30.0 (and 0.30.0a). No changes except version number.

I will look into the new fancy menu thingy later, after I made sure all of my mods are in working order for Cosmoteer 0.30.0 (and 0.30.0a which is the current game version).

Actually I was working on this armor but SirCampalot beat me to it :)

I think it is fine having it as two separate mods, if anything one of us can ensure that other mod is fine, as they are nearly identical inside :)

Ever thought about merging the tristeel and diamond armor mod together to become just 1 mod instead?

The armors working is the most important thing :)

Indeed, but our armors work! :D

@Sir Evans: Cheers! I will have a look at it, but this patch broke a lot of mods!

Checkout Tristeel Armor mod, SirCampalot!
There is a neat foldable submenu added in the .30.0, easy to implement, I've already done it for my armor mod! :)

Version 1.1.4 fixes an issue with the 2x1 diamond armor block not completing building when constructed instead of a block of 2x1 vanilla armor in a piece of the ship that is not otherwise connected to the rest of the ship IF crew construction is not disabled (bugfix).

@Scientistknight: Yes you're right. Description on the mod page is updated.
It went through a couple minor changes as some of the patches made some changes to the game that prompted me to adjust the armor in this mod to fit the newest game patch.
Btw repairing this armor never cost any diamonds.

Huh. Repairing this armor doesn't consume any diamonds, but it does consume a small quantity of steel. You might want to update the description here on the workshop to mention that, though it's not a big deal.

1.1.3 significantly decreases construction duration of the diamond armor parts.
Also fixes some incorrect descriptions (thanks for reporting!).

@Scientistknight: Thanks for reporting. I will have a look at it tomorrow (like 5am here atm).

It looks like this mod might have an error in the description: it says it absorbs roughly ten times as much damage as regular armor before breaking, but the health point value suggests that it absorbs roughly 40 times as much damage.

Это пиздц

@SirCampalot hi!

I've made a Russian translation mod link , would you be able to leave a link to it in the description?

@Tokimerr: Will I add a diamond sword? Maybe only if the game devs start giving planets subterranian dungeons with elite bosses we can farm. Then I may consider it.

will u add diamond sword

1.1.2 is identical to 1.1.1, except that I added a somewhat corrected German translation.

@Naut:
This should be compared to the Tristeel armor mod made by Sir Evans (link here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2885381015) . There are several tristeel armor mods out there with usually differing stats.
It should have 4 times the hp of the tristeel armor mod, but also some other improvements like improved blast resistance and pen resistance.
It's roughly 10 times as expensive though.

@SirCampAlot

I realized that the description and the stats of the diamond doesnt match, it has the same description as the TriSteel Armour but its has 40x the hitpoints. Is this supposed to be a typo ?

@The Receptionist:
Not possible atm afaik.

maybe you should make it it absorb damage better at certain angles like real diamonds

Version 1.1.1 is a minor bugfix.
It fixes a couple deconstruction bugs with some of the parts when crew construction is enabled.

No other changes were made.

Thanks to the person that reported this to me on discord :)

@Sir Evans:
After you made tristeel armor, it really made sense that diamond armor also had its place in the game.
Well, you kinda did make it in an indirect sense, as I'd never have made it if you hadn't made the tristeel armor mod. So without your work, this mod wouldn't be here right now :P

I'd definitely be interested to see how those new graphics turn out :)
I'm actually trying to create some nice looking armor graphics for one of my own mods atm, but will take a while before those are done.

Fun fact:
I was actually about to make it, but run out of time and then you did it ^^,

When I will finally get to upgrade graphics for tristeel armor mod, I was wondering if I could regale you with new reddish graphics based upon in-game diamond resource? :D

No way to tell when it will be, but still. Great work, my man!

Version 1.1.0 fixed crash bugs due to the crew construction update.
Updated construction cost of all diamond armor pieces, it now costs diamonds and steel (diamond prices are the same as before).

That's awesome to see another class of armor showing up! Do you think we could have the stats in description for comparison please?

@Good_Oatmeal
why do i hear jojo boss music from your ships
