Heavy Armor

Description
Adds Heavy Armor blocks for better protection at the expense of mass and more exotic material costs.

Heavy armor blocks use 50% more Steel in addition to some Tri-Steel in order to increase hitpoints and penetration resistance. They are also somewhat more resistant to explosion damage.

Protection also comes at the cost of higher mass (and slower speeds). Heavy armor is best employed to reinforce selective high value areas.

Heavy Armor blocks are integrated into Career Mode and have a corresponding unlock blueprint.


**Mod is balanced and tested against standard Cosmoteer parts to offer new design choices for broader gameplay.**

Don't forget to check out the other mods in the JSC collection! Have fun!!

Fixed crashes related to crew construction

Hey, for anyone wanting to fix the crash for 0.23.1, I have found that the following works for me:

Navigate to Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\799600\2881138721\armor_heavy_wedge
Open the corresponding rules file
Change CreatePartWhenDestroyed value to cosmoteer.structure_wedge

For similar help regarding the Light Armor mod by JFJohnny5, please refer to that workshop item's comment section.

Keep in mind that steam will try to automatically revert these changes. You may either need to pause downloads on steam to prevent this, or clone the mod to your user mod directory before applying changes, until JFJohnny5 patches this themselves

The 1x1 armor wedge turns into the structure wedge after completion and drops back every material

It's going to take me a bit of time to dig into this and my other mods. Due to other obligations, I likely won't get to do that until mid-August unfortunately :(

For both the Heavy Armor and Light Armor mods, the single tile wedges seem to cause a lot of problems now. Crew build the structure properly, but will not build the armor, and when trying to force them to or revert the change, it crashes the game.

Though considering the last update was November 12 of last year, and this bug has yet to be fixed already with how bad it is, I assume there probably won't be a fix to this, unless done by someone else.

I believe that the Heavy 1x1x1 wedge is causing issues with crew construction, it seems that crew won't build them no matter what and if i attempt to discard modifications when it sends me into blueprint mode i get a crash.

there seems to be a bug, where (even in planning mode) when you half-overlap a heavy-armor-tile, it seems to get replaced with a less heavy variant (unmiodded) where it is not overlapped+replaced, BUT you do not get the material cost dirfference refunded,

Update: Added Heavy 1x3 Wedge.

Health points should be 150% more than the standard armor and double the Tri-Steel cost.

Good catch, thanks! Fixed and uploaded new version.
