LIGHT WEIGHT IMPENETRABLE ARMOR

[pastel stratus]

Who knew that Create Deco was developing such high tech nano armor:

bro litteraly making best meta ship in mod

[primal beacon]

c0ckwork is close to from the depths

[pastel stratus]

Devs please dont fix

[sudden crane]

That mine cart thing is just insane

[pastel stratus]

Ikr, it saves you the pain of having to recalculate Inertai tensors

[shell socket]

ok bruh this one kinda missed

it was just you discovering create deco 😭

[uneven tide]

What’s that thing at the end of the vid

[pastel stratus]

Minecart contraptions, I use them to make skins for my hounds

[pastel stratus]

I never looked into armor weight before and this is what I found so might as well document it...

Do you mean to say you found something stronger and lighter than Netherite Mesh Fences?

[shell socket]

netherite sheet metal is the exact same

[pastel stratus]

Not light enough. In the older VS2 it was 100kg in the newer version its 1000kg

Netherite Mesh Fences are 40kg (before and after the update) with the same resistance value

[shell socket]

ah

i be on that old shi

[pastel stratus]

Oh sorry my bad, I didn't mention I filmed it on the newer version of VS2. They changed the default block weight to 1000kg

So most of the stuff I had on my drones are now literally 10x heavier

[shell socket]

new vs2 kinda cucked everyone

honestly they should make everything lighter

and i do mean everything

when you make every kind of stone as heavy as they are there's not a whole lot of options for building blocks

especially now that all the modded blocks are as heavy

my two cents

at least let us config block weights

[pastel stratus]

Yeah, it would be great for server control

[polar berry]

...aren't weights datapackable

Can't edit the default weight tho, I think

[pastel stratus]

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that...

But then you need to learn about datapacks...

[proud obsidian]

that is broken

[proud obsidian]

imma be honest having something be invulnerable is pretty lame

[pastel stratus]

lol

just exploring

[proud obsidian]

but still great job

[pastel stratus]

didn't say I was going to use'm

[proud obsidian]

OBI sucks COUGH COUGH

[pastel stratus]

...fairly that is

[proud obsidian]

wouldn't blame you

I would do the same

cant ignore powerful stuff but ehhh theres no alternative

[pastel stratus]

well if you manage to gather enough netherite to build one then I think you deserve to have something invulnerable

I mean it already has infinite ammo why not pair it with invulnerability as well

[proud obsidian]

yeah but if you lost that ship thats a massive waste of time and a massive supply drop for the enemy camp

you would be giving the enemy enough sets to last alot of wars

its to big of a risk

but you are right

[proud obsidian]

at that point you kinda deserve it

[pastel stratus]

yeah I see your point, you can still use other armor alternatives... but one thing tho...

these caged ones are NOT built to be fair

[proud obsidian]

zad

[sand belfry]

Kinda wish there was an in between

Or some nuance to it like in From the Depths

[proud obsidian]

Resistance vs. Override

Resistance:
• The ability of a block to mitigate the effects of an explosion and diminish the rays from the blast.
— Best Armor Blocks: Iron Blocks, Iron Bars, All “hull” blocks (placeholder)
— Iron because of this will not be destroyed by anything but a direct hit and will prevent anything behind it from taking block damage.
• In another server, many blocks have their resistances buffed.
• This uses the blast resistance mechanics of Minecraft’s base game.
• The radius of the damage is determined by the equation
(blast resistance + 0.3) × 0.3
that is calculated for each “blast ray” every time it needs to pass through a block. Any block that doesn’t reduce the ray to zero is destroyed.
• This results in a crater that has a visible origin and is reduced in size based on the resistance of block.

Override:
• The % chance that a block that should be destroyed in an explosion is spared.
— Best blocks: all copper and endstone blocks (placeholder)
• Because it doesn’t actually effectively stop the blast rays, blocks behind the armor plate can take damage from an impact but the plate itself may be spared.
• Think of this like as akin to armor spalling where the armor plate isn’t compromised but “shrapnel” from the inside of the armor plate is created that causes internal damage
• This results in no definable crater. Rather, jagged and spotted tears or holes across the impact zone.

disclaimer: not my orginal idea but. I have seen this in action and its proven to be balenced and affective.

yeah

pray tell

[uneven tide]

I just watched your guard dog vid that thing is insane

[pastel stratus]

Eh, Netherite is kind of op. As far as I know its the only block type that has a resistance value of 1200.

the next best thing I found is Steel from Create Alloyed with a resistance value of 14 tho Steel Mesh Fences have a resistance value of 6.

You need to either use the full block or half slab variants but they weigh 1000kg (new VS2 version 2.2.1)

As I see it these netherite mesh cages would be reserved for like admin stuff like a House-bot from Robot wars.

OR, if you still would want to build Netherite cages but you also want it to be fair... you might be able to find a separate mod that can break Netherite

Drill missiles:

[sand belfry]

Fair enough ngl

Without netherite id prolly like

Make my fast aircraft w single layer steel and slower aircraft w double to triple layer

Might change tho cause last time I adhered to those trends it was old vs2 where you could have ultra light fuck you armor

[pastel stratus]

I wouldnt be surprised if there actually was a mod for that

[sand belfry]

I mean

U can make ur own

Stickers and a couple blocks of pole

Or if you’re extra fancy

Gantry shaft that builds its own way so virtually no amount of armor is enough to not be drilled through

Couple that a tnt dispenser with like 12 tnt or even really just a couple blocks of static tnt

And you’ve got yourself a funny little strange bunker buster

Though honestly

I hope that the Solver is able to like melt through netherite-adjacent material or sumn

[pastel stratus]

That gives me an idea... Modular Routers can extend blocks from its sides... if you put it on a ship you can stab right thru the armor without even needing to break a single block...

If you give the router a speed upgrade you can "inject" tnt and redstone fast enough thru the armor...

I would pay good money to see someone pull that off with a ship ram

As a matter of fact I don't see a lot of people do that by default with VS2 and Modular Routers

Two routers side by side. One extends a redstone block into the ship then the second router extends a tnt block right next to it setting it off from inside the ship
