Precious Metal Arms and Armor

Kuvaus
Description

Updates various precious and exotic metals to allow the creation of arms and armour from those metals.

I tried to keep these within the range of possibility, so you won't be seeing soft-metals (like gold) be used for armor, or crossbows, but you will see gold tipped bolts (since bolts have both an impact and piercing component, gold's density makes it great for impact damage).

Unfortunately, I don't see a way to limit the specific weapons that can be made from a specific metal, so you'll just have to accept that golden swords will suck but a golden hammer could be pretty powerful.

Fortunately, that means that this mod should be cross compatible with any other mod that adds in new weapons/armor/ammo.

@vampiresbane thanks for pointing that out. I may get around to playing with the display values/colours of some of the metals in the future. I was working on another mod that altered some color palettes but it never quite worked correctly.

I'll take a look at the thread you recommended, and if you do make a guide or want to contribute to the mod with regards to the colour I'll make sure you get the credit.

The other option is to make a standalone mod that fixes the colors of some of these metals (some are so rare that I doubt people ever make even a single bar of them, which is probably why they don't have a unique or correct color palette)

I came up with a fix sort of. It requires altering a lot of vanilla files. I may write a guide on how to do it, but this thread gives the gist of the results. Short version, it's not this mod's fault that black bronze does not display, it's a vanilla issue.

@Propagating I found a graphics issue. Black bronze sprites when worn are not black. More of a gold color.

This mod works really well. Imo it should be implemented in vanilla.

Convenient.

Honestly, the majority of the buff here is in blunt weapons and ammo. Edged weapons should use steel, same with armor, it's just better. If you don't have steel, Black Bronze is better than bronze, nickel silver might be okay as well.

How good are most of these metals as armor? Black bronze would be interesting to make as a "Black Knight" getup.

I know solid density affects how well blunt weapons do, but for weapons that need to hold an edge like swords, spears and stuff, how well do most of these do compared to iron or bronze? I don't know how to measure if a material is good for sharp weapons without making the weapons.

@Johnny John Johnson

Yes, it should absolutely support mods that add weapons/armor/ammo/pickaxes/ranged weapons. The way the game assigns a material to a category is on the material config, not the weapon. So as long as someone made something part of the 'weapon' category with the right tag, then it will support this mod.

Does this combine with mods that unlock exotic weapons like mauls or scimitars for crafting with dwarves?
