Animal Apparel: Basic Armor

Features

This mod introduces plate, flak and cataphract armor (and suitable helmets) for a selection of animals, while also serving as a template for intrepid modders who want to use Animal Apparel: Framework for their own mods!

The armors have the same tech requirements and crafting costs as their human equivalents.

Not all animals can wear all types of armor. Check out an armor's info tab to see what animals it works for! And don't forget about giving your combat animals shield belts or jump packs!

If you want every animal to be able to wear armor, even if there is no visual for it, check out Animal Apparel: Universal Basic Armor

Many of armor graphics are provided by Owlchemist's Animal Equipment mod, who has given me permission to use them.

FAQ

How do I get animals to equip this armor?

Select one of your colonists, then right-click the armor you want your animal to wear. You'll get a "Force equip on..."-option that you can select your animal with. Then your colonist will go and put it on them!

Can animals equip utility items, like shield belts?

Yes! Animal Apparel: Framework by itself allows animals to equip shield belts as well as jump packs (with support for more utility items to come). Animals will reload equipment with charges, like jump packs, themselves, but not quite as diligently as colonists do.

Can you make armor for this other animal please?

Sadly, I am not an artist. If YOU are an artist and want to have your work added to this mod in order to support more animals, or to improve existing sprites, please do contact me. Donations of artwork are welcome.

What about adding an invisible armor that supports all animals?
