100% bite resistance everywhere

[dense river]

still finding metalworking 4 to get the articulated versions. the major downside is that it's so hot my character get's tired by 6pm

Is the heavy protection worth it?

[dense river]

you can only answer this question once you get surprised bitten

depends on your tolerance level, i for one don't want my 100+ hour character dying just because i bit off more than i can chew or i got too cocky

[jagged basalt]

I meant that maybe at some point the penalties in negative moodles, weight, etc. outweigh the protection. Like how the Maus tank was practically impenetrable, but it was also practically immobile so it was a failure

IDK if wearing all that armor turns you into a juggernaut or just canned meat

[dense river]

hordes won't kill you at this game

you have control on how many fights you wish to take and avoid. what kills you is a surprise zombie that flanks or follows you unnoticed

i also remove armour when in base and generally keep my loot runs minimum to reduce the moodle impacts

[jagged basalt]

True, usually when you have sight of the enemy, you're pretty safe

I'll have to reconsider my approach

[dense river]

also in my most recent run my personal challenge was to get into forging and see the high tier armours

i noticed a general apathy of most players to invest into metalworking

which really bums me out considering the high tier armour exists but resources or helps on obtaining it is scarce to a minimum

I'm trying to level up metalworking but I have to get a chisel to make bricks to make the foundry

or furnace, I forget

that's why I'm trying to get into LV right now

though I wanted to level it up to restore tools, forge axe heads and hammer heads, that sorta thing
