Wanted to take up updating this mod.

amazing concept, thanks for the mod

Thanks for the speedy response!

Go nuts

I'd like to use the textures in your Flak Dusters mod in my own, if that's okay with you. You and this mod will be credited.

I'm asking to use the textures specifically, and not simply 'take over' the mod, because my mod is larger in scope by including many other supplementary armors, such as "flak parkas".

Please get in touch with me ASAP!

Thanks!

The folder you're looking for is ...\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\1843482822

It'll be mine too so it'll be a learning experience...friended you...or if u can tell me where to get the files from. thanks!

Go for it! Be warned, though, this was my first RimWorld mod, so it's not very well done.

Aww, that sucks...maybe I can take the mod over. I really hate cloth dusters! Thanks so much!

Probably a bug. I'm unlikely to fix it, though as I've ceased support for this mod.
That reminds me, I should probably update the description to reflect that..

As the pic shows, I have enough materials, and yet the dusters never get made. I send a pawn to do it, and it says I need materials. Am I missing something? Or is this a bug? Halp! thanks!

Undoubtedly, but I'm not going to do that.

Would it be possible to make a Flak Cape as well for a Royal equivalent?

Should be working fine with 1.2

Please update to 1.2 soon!! :D I hate vanilla dusters. thanks!! <3

Is there any way you can reduce the weight of the dusters? My devil strand flak jackets only weigh 3.8 kg while my devil strand dusters weigh almost triple that

They're the same thing. The only thing I changed was the about file to be 1.1 compatible.
I've updated to file structure so it shouldn't be grouchy anymore.

Do you have the old 1.0 version? I'd like to stay in 1.0 for awhile before going to update for 1.1 sooner and later in the future due to my other mods.

No worries :) thank for taking a look tho :)

I have no idea how I could even begin to make something like that happen. This is pretty much the extent of my modding capabilities.

If its possible to provide us with a slide bar or something to change item value, materials required and work value it would be awesome !

If we could do that i would balance it this way.
- The duster should require both material cost for each item ( duster and flak jacket ).
- I would make the price 100% + 100% of both items with a 15% extra value.
- The work required to make it should be at least 180% taking in consideration that 200% would be the work value of both of the items individually.

Anyway thank you so much for your mod its great i hope you can help us with the tools to balance it to the player will.

Thank you!

It already worked with 1.1 as far as I know, but now it should work without throwing error messages at you.

Hi author, could you kindly update this to 1.1? Thank you

@ratboys This mod works well in 1.1 patch

Update this mod please I love you developer

Maybe a little unbalanced? I've found no reason to use a flak jacket over these since these come with both heat and cold insulation. Unless that's been changed since I last played, otherwise I would prefer it didn't do both.

I think so. Seemed balanced enough to me.

balanced or?I don't really want my game to be too easy

Well it sort of does because it will attempt to convert the armor values but it can make them absolutely broken

Unless CE automatically alters armor values into it's deflection chance mechanic, that'd be a no. But I can't see how this would outright break a game running CE, though.

CE compatible?

I love the mod, and the idea, but i cant seem the flak duster out of devilstrand

Cool idea! Trying it right now. Thanks for sharing!

I really like this. Dusters just look too damm good. ;)

That quick fix seems to have worked well enough. My flak duster pawns can take on a pack of boars with ease but a bullet or two to the midsection leaves them incapacitated, same as their flak jacket chums. The only difference I notice is that they look snazzier while they bleed out.

Och aye. I may have fudged a number or two. I'll re-look it over and see what's up.

I've just had a little look at the numbers and I think that I've found the issue. The base value added to the (sharp) armour equation for ordinary flak jackets is 0.13, whereas for flak dusters it's 0.4. However the material effect for the former is 63% and 30% for the latter. I'm going to try using a base value of 0.2 for the flak dusters as it seems to roughly scale with the original jackets.

NB I'm using Combat Extended and about a million other mods so mileage might vary.

Unlikely, but if enough people start asking for a nerf, then I'll probably do it.

I love the idea but it feels a bit unbalanced - a normal quality plainleather flak duster is about as protective as a masterwork devilstrand flak jacket. Any chance of a nerf?

@Dr. Jack Bright Go for it! Just try not to get it added you your list of things not to do!

@FlashPoint55 Check out the Flak Fabrics mod. That's got what you're looking for.

Time to make these IRL to annoy the dress-code makers at Site-19

-Dr. Jack Bright, Level-5 Researcher, Site- REDACTED

plz make flak pants version!

Superior materials will yield superior products. That's just how the game works.

so with this mod which are better, devilstrand flak jackets, or rhino leather flak dusters?

For something so simple it looks pretty good. Nice work.

Reminds me of the Courier Duster from New Vegas, this I like!

I didn't know I needed this before, but thanks.
