we're in the endgame now.

One minor suggestion: If you look closely in the opening sequence, the lady giving the speech actually has a unique uniform with shoulderpads; You might consider doing similar with this set, so that it stands out from the uniform you get at the beginning of the game and feels more like something a Max-Ranking Protector would have.

*Dowload the mod* WOW! SO OP!!! - *Uses it as cosmetic* :v

how about adding praelatus weapons?
like swords to match protectorate style
if i EVER mod, the first thing im gonna make is CUSTOM protectorate armour and weapons all balanced(ish) like this also how about a new ship u buy at license shop? also i dont mind u copied the protectorate stuff from intro
ik its alot but know i loved mod

nice mod i find the armor well ballanced

I'm fine as long as you don't name the armour praelatus, or having the same-ish concept. I'm sure others will agree with me with this: it's ok to unpack other people's mod files if you want to learn how to mod, as long as you don't upload an obvious copy.

An FU-version of this sounds interesting, I'd like to see it once you're done. (I may even link it here if that's ok with you)

Thanks Tukib.
I updated my copy of the mod according to my vision, exclusing set boni and more broad set of ingredients for now.
Would it be an issue if I posted a variation of your mod once/if i have progressed more?
I'd of course reference yours as the idea and basis, but it would be more adequate and requiring FU.

@Machara
Hey there, yes you can unpack this mod. This mod wasn't really designed for balance with frackin universe, and I do not have a lot of time to update it.
Follow this guide to unpack the mod.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=745239455

Recipes can be modified in .recipe files, the actual item data is stored in .chest, .head, and .legs.
I forgot how the multipliers work, but you should be able to figure something out if you unpack the base game files and look for other types of armour.

Hey there.

I think this armor needs balancing.
1) too much damage, not enough armor. there is armor in Frackin' Universe with more armor.
2) i find that this armor should have other benificial attributes, such as set boni - for instance heat and poison resist.
3) each armor piece has the same values - it should be different and more in line with other armor in this game:
the chest piece needs more materials but also gives more boni.
4) while grind is necessary for end-game items, it is too much mindless grinding. I would appreciate
it needing a wider variety of ingredients, some of which may be hard to find.

What do you think?

A question:
Can I manually edit this mod locally, for instance increase armor from 72 to 90?
If so, how?

How to get armor by exploits
1. Get a mod with an expensive item that is very easy to get
2. Gather alot of the item and sell it all
3. Get a mod with an ore shop for all your meterials

and i do know right the first ''armor'' don't care if you need protection, it is only a retarded graduate suit

if the protectorate armor on first quest of manipulator you do get that, makes this mod looks stupid

it may not be as powerful but WHO CARES

as i say whoever downloaded this just get this armour by DOING THE GAME U LAZY CUNTS!!!

Suddenly this just turned into all generic items when I loaded up.

Why not just make it have the "perfectly generic set" stats or include the best of all three T6 sets in one, requiring all three of the racial T6 set's pieces to craft the relevant piece?

I got really excited about what was, more importantly, craftable protectorate armour... I was a little saddened when I saw the prices that are simply way out of my range to produce more than a single set if all of my characters pooled all of their resources. I guess it's back to using dyes on my original set every time I want to change colours. :P

@SCP_foundation @Nomad_Bal
Sure, I'll see if there are any existing sprites for the armour, and if not, I'll attempt to make some.

OMG i agree so much with SCP_Foundation!
Also, I think it could need some more actual defense and fluctuation :D
Maybe make every stat 50% bigger than the best armor in that stat. If you want to I could make some numbers for you :D

I have but one suggestion for this mod, When I first saw the robes in the display case at the beginning I immediately thought "I hope we get to wear this at some point" and I think those would be far more fitting than the uniform beginner protectors start out with. Please consider my suggestion, this is a great mod

could you add final tiers weapons too ?

To spawn this armour whit commands

helmet = /spawnitem praelatushead

chestplate = /spawnitem praelatuschest

leggings = /spawnitem praelatuspants

Reqires /admin

can u spawn thoose armours with commands

also fantastic mod!

Augments? I'm not sure how any modding works but i think it would be intesting to apply them

The armor is great but i see a problem with it , because the armor you get is lower then the one on the tier 6 armor

@Hyperglory do you mean on the mannequin? As that is the only way to 'place' armour.

i can't place any of them down?

thank you but i already deleted starbound

@Vape Jesus
Fall damage can be modified via player.config, so I'm assuming the mod you're using is not modifying the file correctly, which could cause errors because this mod patches it.
The steam 1.4 version of 'No Fall Damage" was supposed to fix this. So you should probably install that if you have an external version, unless of course the steam one is still not fixed.

yes but it's only one no fall damage

@Vape Jesus
Do you have any other mods installed? Neither of my friends nor I have encountered this, and I can't see how a re-texture would cause this.

this crashes my game after i exit the tech shop

can you make craftable final tier weapons? i would love to use those.

BRO MAKE A GOD SWORD MAKE THE MODEL THE ASTROBLADEDX THANKS :D

@TUKIB thanks.

@Xavior Firestar
They are in different crafting stations (accelerator, separator, and manipulator)

Only the headset appears, the tunic and leggings are nowhere to be found.

@AnAmericanPsycho ok i was wrong i went in tried the method and i see how its fair how it even scales with the armor and i have heard of both of those games as i have 400 hours+ in both

Recipes have now been changed to 25 diamonds each.

@TUKIB And yes I recommend a change in the resource cost, 25 is suitable.

@Anchient I see in no way how that's a glitch. The boss scales with your items, so if you get past Teir 4 Armor, it does nearly one-hit damage, and so on and so forth. It is in no way a glitch, a cheat, a bug, or hacking, It's fair. Don't see why you think that's 'manipulation'. This must be your first game where you can farm bosses, Huh? Ever heard of Borderlands? Terraria? I could go on.

@AnAmericanPsycho even though thats not a glitch it is clevar use of game mechanices and im trying to go for a legit modded playthrough so i think a hard change to mod would be better than manipulating the game

@Anchient Zarko You know, you can just repeat the Mine Quest, kill the boss and get the loot from there (I've never not gotten a diamon from it), and if you get the 'Virtual Uncrafter' mod, you can deconstruct the Monster-Pods aswell into more diamonds (and other materials).
So. Yeah. I've made multiple Teleporters using this method.

This armor looks exatly like my regular starbound armor loadout. Start-game Uniform and the Scout Visor. Awsome.

@Anicent Zarko
Taking that into consideration, I'm thinking of around 25 per piece.
Does anyone else have any other suggestions on a recipe change?

diamonds are to rare 1 per load chunk make it so its like 20 diamonds

+solzucht wWhy would you not have fracking universe its frackin awesome. (then box of tomatoes was found dead tied to a nused)

You could give an info how to craft (materials) in the description
