Leather Armor (Original)

Description


This is a simple mod that adds leather armor into the game. The leather armor is built at a tailoring table like clothing, and is available after researching complex clothing (dusters, pants, etc.).
The leather armor uses the material properties of the leather used in its construction. Leather armor is meant to be an early alternative to plate armor. It is less protective than plate, but doesn't hamper movement.

I built this mod when I noticed that there wasn't a good alternative to plate armor early in the game and at low tech levels. This is the original version, so it uses the same texture as plate armor, but is colored based on the leather it's made from. Other than how it looks, it's functionally identical to the new version. This version also includes the leather helmets.

Compatibility:
- Compatible with existing saved games.
- Compatible with all mods.

Custom texture version can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1638643760

dude! thank you so much for this mod! making leather armor early on feels great! while it doesn't take to long to get plate armor, at the same time i like using my leather armor for my rangers since it doesnt hamper their movement ,and keeping the plate for my melee pawns who are tanks! thank you again!

I saw the name and instantly thought "I hope that fills the gap between 'clothes' and 'plate-armour'..."
Sold! Nailed it in one!

Hey can you change the Layer of your Leather Armor from Middle+Outer to Outer only? It makes sense that since it is just medium Leather Armor it should cover only one layer! Btw great mod and I am loving it!

It should. If you find one that it doesn't work with, let me know.

would this be compatible with bodymods/other races since it doesn't change the leather armor texture?

Ooh, that's a good idea. Thanks.

The base insulation for this is 12.8C (heat/cold). A nice addition would be a recipe that adds cloth the mix to give 25C-30C cold resistance ("insulated leather armor"). For those of us that prefer tribal starts in colder biomes!

(Goal would be cloth insulated leather armor that protects the pawn down to around -20C or -25C.)

That actually doesn't sound so bad considering Plate is extemely heavy in the inventory system I am using.
This works great for me because I want quick survivable troops for my playthrough.
Thank you for the rapid response! :praisesun:
