Can we have one that is meteor-proof, too? Even if it's not available until later techs, I would like that...
I'd find a meteor proof be beyond the attainable scope of tech as it is now ... although with a cost of lotsa pixels and resources I can imagine an immobile forcefield that'd protect one's base.
Acceptable! Lower-tech umbrellas could start out protecting against random hail/iceballs, and then move up to acid rain. I think it would make a great back/head slot item. Umbrella hats or hard hats!
Yea, altho acid-proof would be realistically easier to implement than one that'd protect against chunks of ice (they're just a way to represent meteors on ice planets, the far I've seen).
Hmmm...umbrellas hats is already in terraria, but not for as cape uses. Hey japan ppl carry flags in their back so it doesn't matter that umbrella isn't style, it can be helpful in some point for players who doesn't have an protection against acid in suit. Sir too many "Wanna be chuckle fish" I think its too much ppl pretend claimed. Anyway back subject, pretty much its hard see it in the game as either a holding item in your hand or be on your back, pretty much inventors can be very weird these days...I mean literary weird. As visual future for umbrellas, I think NPC villages would use them because they are non-combatant ppl all the time. So I guess I could say they would use it against the acid rain as well. Adding conclusion or what is link to starbound future planning they say they going have heat heat from the sun when your in desert. This also would give players for reduce getting over heated in the hot sun when they finding tech or other stuff they want to search. Note: heat temperature is not in placed in starbound yet because it is still in beta P.S I say its not bad start think that way for its not bad options because its real life uses as well. Also good and bad how it is like every other stuff punishment, ect.
It'd be cool to go into the back slot and maybe even slow you when you jump, like allow a glide feature? Yes, I know this is in Terraria, but it might be interesting to have it as a back slot and do the same thing.
Bump for umbrellas....starting from primitive to more of a modern version. It would also be cool to have a legendary umbrella/gun like the Penguin in batman
as far as the ice meteor thing is concerned, maybe a frame that jets out heat intensive flames or beam kind of shield to melt those ice blocks before hitting you... Well it is an idea at least for the ice hail/meteor. Of course could be at a higher tech level than the original, as well being a separate one. I know that wouldn't work for regular meteors, but is a thought. I really like a acid rain protection type umbrella as well as you put it, that would make venturing on those types of planets more bearable.
A simple umbrella-backpack that makes you immune to Acid Rain. Would be fine by me if it had no effect on the way you fall. Which would make it easier for the Devs to implement without having balancing issues.
