And then it loads correctly with the PNG's deleted? I can't reproduce this at all. If anyone else is seeing this, a hugslib error log would help.

Is this for all your mods that contain PNGs? because if not then there is clearly something else referencing these files- another of your mods is conflicting. This mod is about as basic as they come.

it does this for every texture with both png and dds, but here's one line as an example:

Tried to load duplicate UnityEngine.Texture2D with path: FilesystemFile [/home/deck/.local/share/steam/steamapps/workshop/content/294100/3198224361/textures/apparel/asiannoblecloth.dds], Length 87556 and internal path: Apparel/AsianNobleCloth

@Sophie I'm not seeing any errors loading in this or any other of the 190 mods I use which still have PNG in them, outside of yellow warnings when the 4 pixel multiplier rule is broken by the DDS (which it is not in this mod). What is the text of your errors?

now that rimworld supports dds files, having both the png and dds files causes errors, if you remove the png files it's fine

If that mod fires no red errors, it just removes items. Not sure how one set of armor compares to the other though. I balanced this one to try to fit it well into vanilla.

Would I still need the redundancy patch if I'm using it with T's Samurai Faction mod?

tweaked helmet equip offsets to actually mean something. +/-0.1 is not a meaningful thing for the skill offsets. Also weights of armors was very wonky. more in line with vanilla now.

Noticing v1.6 has upped Plate armor and some other modern armors about 10%. So The metallic armors in this mod also went up for stuff factor by about 10% with all leather/cloth up by about 5%.

updated:
Continued fine tuning. Qing Light Armor less sharp protection multiplier, but also covers fingers and toes, etc. This armor comes a tech earlier than the plate armors, so needed to be less advantageous. Still light and allows for faster movement though.

It's basic vanilla style xml. If this is not compatible with CE, idk what to tell ya.

I don't use ce.

Is this compatible with CE?

Thank you for the update. I hope you also wrap up this year well, and may the coming year bring even better days for you.

Updated/tweaked helmets for better balance and causes to use each one. Will likely update armors a little bit later.

Thx! 100% will use it in my next playthrough! :D

Ok, guys. Did it.

Updated: uses STUFF and attributes of the metals or fabrics (if that's the main ingredient) used in making the items.

I *might* have missed some details, but I did my best. This took a LOT of time and thinking to balance things within the realm of the vanilla game. Nothing should be OP, or underpowered, I hope. Let me know what you think.

Ok, i will clean it up and try to nalance it better than i already did. But it will take a bit. Just haven't been "Rimspired" lately as Owlchemist has not returned.... His seeds lite mod was a major part of my olay throughs.

But updating this with some more balanced values can happen.

I echo the others and would love some further development on the mod. :) Appreciate it if you decide to!

Given that the original author gave up the mod years ago, it would be great if you stepped up! :)

Id say that's a perfectly reasonable adjustment it makes sense I don't see why people wouldn't want that

Yeah that would be something I'd try to adjust. But i know many do have multipliers. I'd have to really take over the mod. Would people want that level of adjustment from what it was?

I noticed that there is no material multiplier on the armor itself. Instead of gaining value from the material used, it has a set value. This makes it so that steel versions of the armor are the same as uranium or plasteel. I didn't know if this was intentional, so I'm sharing the observation with you.

hell yeah

o7 ok, going to test, i let u know if i find something out of place. Thanks for taking care of this mod.

Anyone, let me know if you find any stats too strong, or not making balance sense- there were a lot of places I had to adjust and may have missed some.

excellent rebalance thank you
