Diamond Armor

Description
Adds very costly Diamond Armor to the game.

Diamond Armor parts that is roughly 4 times as strong as tri-steel armor.

This armor costs diamonds and steel to produce, making it insanely expensive. However, it can be repaired for either free or for almost free as it will cost steel if the damage is high enough).
This bug is also present in the tristeel armor mod as repairing that armor will only cost steel and never tristeel.
The only way to fix this bug is by doing some global changes which would affect everything made by those rare resources or by adding something complicated like an entire line of factories with custom materials, which is outside of the scope of this mod.

(Diamond Armor used to not be salvagable without a mining laser before the crew construction, but the crew construction update would make the armor unbuildable, which is why I reverted this trait)

This mod started out as a testbed to test a feature someone brought up in the discussion section of Sir Evan's Tri-steel armor mod.
As Sir Evans stated his mod is free to use as a base for your own mod (which is what I did here so I'm not infringing on any copyright here or anything), I ended up using Gimp to practice recoloring the armor pieces and changing this for diamonds as a really expensive armor that was not an outright cheat was something I wanted.

Therefor I decided to upload this mod. Any praise or thanks should not be directed at me but at Sir Evans instead I think, even though he stated he doesn't want to be credited I'm still crediting him because I think he deserves it because without his tri-steel armor mod, I'd never made this mod. And tbf personally I think tri-steel armor should be a default feature of the base game anyway.

This armor doesn't use any blueprints or anything, you can use it right away (if you're rich enough :P ).

This mod is based on Sir Evan's tri-steel armor mod which can be found here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2885381015

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.

@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.
