SouthsilArmor

This mod adds over 30 new armor sets. Most stats, crafting materials etc. can be modified using the config.

Please note I have not played Deep North yet and the mod will be updated when I do. I also plan to update my capes to match the beautiful 1.0 vanilla capes.

I would like to express my immense thanks to GoldenJude. Without their help and guidance I would never have come close to being able to create this mod. I would also like to thank blaxxun and Azumatt for their help.

Aim of this mod

My hope is that the added armors so that they compliment the vanilla armors without outshining them. My overall goal is that they provide more, interesting options.

Mostly, the added armors will benefit those who want to play more slowly and progress more safely, as they tend to provide extra, optional, incremental steps of power, before progressing to the next biome.

In _most_ cases, the modded armours in a respective tier, when compared to vanilla armor of that tier, tend to have:

• Increased armor value, at the cost of increased movement speed penalty.
• More costly to make, or require rarer materials (eg. rare trophies)
• Set bonus (which is usually niche, and can be ideally be ignored easily)
• Rarely, a resistance (these are very powerful).

Examples include:

Heavy armor:

• +2armor/piece compared to vanilla
• -7%movement speed/piece (compared to -5% on vanilla armors)
• Set bonus

Very Heavy armor:

• +4armor/piece compared to vanilla
• -9%movement speed/piece
• Set bonus

There are some exceptions. I am also starting to add lighter (than vanilla) armors.

There is also a cluster of armors currently powered around Ashlands tier. Some of these will be updated as further biomes are released. Eg. the "Deep North Armor" will, one day, be balanced around that biome. The crafting materials will, of course, be updated.

There are "secret" armors, which I have made no attempt to balance. Please ignore them if you want a balanced play through... or become godly and enjoy them for what they are!
