Description
An update of Jaxon's Insect Carapace mod. Renamed "Chitin" has new textures, description and tweaked stats, but functionality remain the same.

I stumbled across Jaxon's old Insect Carapace mod while looking for a mod that could help with the aftermath of the infestation that hit my pawn's settlement. Ideally I was looking for a mod that could allow the lone surviving spelopede to look after the hive if tamed, but does not look like one is available that does not also change other mechanics.

In any case, this mod cropped up on search, and I figured if I can not have Jelly on my doorstep, then I'd settle for skinning the bastards. Figured i would give the mod some love and re-release it.

The chitin was fine, honestly. But well, then I figured I may as well contribute something while I am at it right? So yeah now you have a selection of other equipment that can be crafted in addition to insect leather clothing. Have fun.

Flexible Chitin is used to make clothing - can be obtained from lesser insectoids
Chitin Plate is used to make Chitin armour - only obtained from megaspiders
Padded Leather is used to make Padded Leather armour, but that one is obvious. Must be crafted from leathers.
Dig Claws re dropped by spelopedes (read their creature info in game ;)
Ripper Blades are dropped by megaspiders (read their description too :P

Now with Take Their Shells! D:, Full. Chitin. Jacket., Full. Chitin. Pants?, Full. Leather. Jacket. and Full. Leather. Pants? achievements! (requires Vanilla Achievements mod)

Please refer to the change notes of the recent update if you have issues.

I did not change category, just the name. For example "Chitin" is now "WYD_Chitin" and so on. That includes the stuffcategory defnames (but the labels remain the same of course)

To what did you change the Stuff Category Type? I just have to change one line each.
Monkey Magic  [author] 8 Apr, 2024 @ 2:18am 
Well, I don't plan on changing them again, but I should have used unique defnames from the beginning. They started as for personal use, so it was not an issue to fix them as needed - but once uploaded as workshop content, I should have thought to preempt future conflict and rename everything. (conflicts were reported for others, so I went through them all)

While this can be a pain for those who made patches, or use my mods as dependency; chances are they would need to update them for 1.5 anyway so seemed the best time.

I also tweaked how some things work (I planned to restructure a some older mods (like this one) in any case) so there's also that - for example, previously the Megaspider dropped chitin plate, but now it drops chitin leather (chitin plate is now the result of processing) like the others, as this feels more natural.

Regarding your patch in particular, my apologies for the additional trouble the changes have caused you, but hopefully it is not too much trouble.

(You should NEVER change the Thing Def keys of things if you can help it!)

I added built-in compatibility with your Mod and the Biomes Core Mod's Chitin myself. If you want the Patch, I can give it to you.

Please note, if you have a wall of screaming red errors, please either ignore them (not recommended) or disable all your mods, and repopulate them to remove any issues caused by the name changes in the 7th April 2024 update

@TurtleShroom - this mod does as a chitin stuff type, but only for solid chitin - carapace - which is used for making the armour. I also added a stuff type for the leather armour - reinforced leather padding.

Only flexible chitin is referred to as a "leather" so it can be used in making clothes easily. I intentionally did things way as the chitin from a megaspider is much harder than to that of the other insectoids, and not suitable for clothing.

There's actually a Chitin Stuff Type added in one of the Mods that has Chitin. You could even make it compatible with that... or I could....... :peace_hoi: :GodEmperorTrump:
