Protective Vests, New Hats & Steam Autumn Sale
Hi everyone,
in connection with the Steam Autumn Sale, I have a new update (v0.3.025) for you which adds some new content and functionalities to the game.
[h2]Protective Vests[/h2]
With this update I have introduced some new items to the combat system - the protective vests.
[h3]Vests[/h3]
Protective vests giving your colonists an additional layer of defense. They increase the chance that a melee or ranged attack can be completely blocked and they add a new damage reduction factor to the game.
Note:
Protective vests are also seen as part of the weapon system, which allows you to upgrade them on the right tables
[h3]Updated Equipment Menu[/h3]
In connection with the new vests, I have added a new body armor slot to the colonist's equipment menu. You can also click on the equipped items to see their values now and the overview contains the protection / damage reduction factors for melee and ranged attacks.
Note:
In addition I have removed the shield stats when your colonist is not equipped with a shield so that the menu looks more clean now.
[h3]New Technology[/h3]
The modern section of the technology tree got a bit extended and contains a new technology which unlocks the protective vests now.
I have to say, because melee weapons, ranged weapons & shield are already available in the basic age, I have decided to make body armor available in the middle of the modern age to introduce it as new feature to the mid game.
[h2]New Hats[/h2]
What would the world be without hats? With this update, and based on players suggestions, I have added 3 new & fun hats to the game to make the game & customization of your colonists more enjoyable.
[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]
Last but not least, I have here a list of all the patch notes & fixes:
Important:
Some of the few new text entries are still missing french, simplified chinese & japanese translations. This will be added with a patch in the next days.
I hope you enjoy this update,
Cheers!

[h3]Vests[/h3]
Protective vests giving your colonists an additional layer of defense. They increase the chance that a melee or ranged attack can be completely blocked and they add a new damage reduction factor to the game.
- Protective Vest (Universal)
This vest protects the colonist from all damage, but the damage reduction values as well as the chance to block a melee or ranged attack are lower. - Protective Vest (Melee Combat)
This vest protects the colonist more from melee damage and the damage reduction values as well as the chance to block a melee attack are higher. On the other hand, the defense values against ranged weapons are worse. - Protective Vest (Ranged Combat)
This vest protects the colonist more from ranged damage and the damage reduction values as well as the chance to block an arrow or projectile are higher. On the other hand, the defense values against melee weapons are worse.
Note:
Protective vests are also seen as part of the weapon system, which allows you to upgrade them on the right tables
