I am pretty new to modding (besides some Raw editing). Ever since the latest update making metals being rare, I've been trying to think of a non-metal substitute. How would you go about making rigid/formed armor out of... Scorpion carapace as an example, or a way to 'harden' leather and make breastplates out of it. Desert Dwelling Dwarves in scorpion armor with giant desert scorpion pets would be fun.

Add this to the entry for chitin in material_template_default

Code: [Select]

[MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:CHITIN_MAT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:CHITIN]
Then, add this to reaction_other:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_CHITIN_ARMOR]
[NAME:craft breastplate from chitin]
[BUILDING:CRAFTSMAN:CUSTOM_C]
[REAGENT:A:10:CORPSEPIECE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:CHITIN_MAT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:ARMOR:ITEM_ARMOR_BREASTPLATE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:CHITIN_MAT]
[SKILL:LEATHERWORK]
That should get you chitin armor.   You might want to go in and fiddle with the stats on chitin if you want it to be stronger/weaker, though.
