shell armor seems incompleted, also add scale armor and other stuff
« on: July 18, 2014, 11:12:55 am »
scale armor could be gathered from fish and some reptiles (including dragons)

it could be an alternative to shell or bone armor. also, shell armor doesnt include any breastplate or mail, i dont know if its intended or something but at least in .34 i dont see how to complete that part.

also, animal derived armor should have its own category, it is strange that bone is considered a metal in the game.

chitin could also be an option, taken from giant insects...

Until an update where those items become more useful you could mod the entry for those items. I personally made chitin act as Shells and made scales tannable in my game. I'm sure there's also a mod or 2 that add scale armor.

Yeah, this is pretty easy to mod in. And I doubt the official implementation (whenever it's added) will differ that much from the current model that is used by modders.
