Armor Durability

[stylistic_sagi]

Hey Guys,

Would it not be nice to have more use for armor?
Whilst it does the trick realisticly it might be better if armor would absord alot more damage then it does now but that it would also drain it's durability more rapid.

The purpose for this would be so that you can craft (outside of power armor) multiple layers of armor and by doing so you would also increase your health in a fight for much longer whilst draining the armors more.
If this method is implied people will be much more eager to bring the fight to the enemy base early on rather than wait till they have better tech.
This would also mean that players would consume more armors and isn't factorio not all about production and consumption?
+people will be more carefull with their more expensive armors.

another optional suggestion might be a way to repair armor's durability. perhaps with repair packs or maybe a module in the power armor so cheap armors will be wasted eventually?

What are your toughts about this?

I thought I add it to viewtopic.php?f=80&t=14640 New Weapons / New Defenses & Armor

Whilst it is very good that you place topics with each other but is one topic for everything about weapons AND armor And vehicles weapons/armor in one category not a bit to much?

Right. But it's hard to split that, cause all tech around vehicles can be used for the character and vice versa.
