Buffed Doom Marine Armour + Mega Armour Unstable version Update

Past Tier 10 Doom armours incl. blue mega armour!

    Now updated for the new combat system in Glad Giraffe (Update 3)!

    Greetings Starbound-Community.

    Are you like me and have always wanted some good "endgame" armour which isn't too cheaty or pricy considering the benefits and costs?
    Do you like the monsters being still able to hurt you, but you can take a lot of abuse? Did you love early shooter games?
    Have you ever played Doom? This mod may be for you.

    Based on the Doom Marine Armor-Mod made by Desideratus I've increased the cost and effectiveness of the normal Doom Marine armour and also included the blue mega armour featured in Doom - it costs more than the basic Marine armour but also has doubled effectiveness (remember how your armour rating in Doom went from 100% to 200% after you picked it up?).

    Here are the stats and costs - everything crafted at the anvil:
    Marine Armour Chest - 8000 pixels, 50 impervium compound - protection vs damage: 15, health increase: 40, energy increase: 100
    Marine Armour Helmet - 4500 pixels, 30 impervium compound - protection vs damage: 15, health increase: 40, energy increase: 50
    Marine Armour Legs - 8000 pixels, 48 impervium compound - protection vs damage: 15, energy increase: 70
    Mega Marine Armour Chest - 20.000 pixels, 100 impervium compound - protection vs damage: 30, health increase: 80, energy increase: 100
    Mega Marine Armour Helmet - 7.500 pixels, 80 impervium compound - protection vs damage: 30, health increase: 80, energy increase: 100
    Mega Marine Armour Legs - 20.000 pixels, 60 impervium compound - protection vs damage: 30, energy increase: 140

    What do these numbers mean? Take the mega armour for example, it will soak pretty much all the damage you would usually get from monsters on less dangerous worlds and only about 0-10 damage on extreme planets - so it surely will make your combat easy. However, environmental damage (fire attacks, fall damage, poison etc.) usually won't be blocked. Your regular Doom Marine Armour will reduce a lot of the damage you may take but won't make you as 'invincible as' the mega armour since the protective stats and health boost are halved.

    You can install both armours (they are in separate mod folders) or just one of your liking. The normal armour is in the folder called "DoomArmor", the mega armour can be found in the "DoomArmor+"-folder. Aaaaaand the bonus: if you want to tweak the values, it is very easy to do. Just open the .chest, .head or .legs files in the folder called items\armor\other\DoomArmor/DoomArmor+ using Notepad (or Notepad++). Look for the entries called "protection", "maxEnergy" and "maxHealth" and change them to your liking.

    Warning, the default Marine armour will be incompatible with Desideratus mod since it uses the same paths and only had its attributes changed.
    Other incompatibilities might arise, however I've not witnessed any yet. Also, since the methods of implementation have changed for the
    current unstable build, your old doom armour might vanish/not work any longer.
    This mod will be updated or changed if needed.

    You are free to use, redistribute and change this mod every way you like.

    All credits for the graphics and base design go to "Desideratus" (Thank you man!). His original mod can be found here:

    Have fun!

      Thank you very much for the 5 stars :). You might also visit Desideratus' original doom armour mod, he laid out the foundation for this one.
