Now introducing the new temporal armor sets! These armor sets are split into two categories- utility and combat. These armor sets, like the tools can be recharged with temporal power cells in the crafting grid, watch out however as they are not unbreakable- they will still get destroyed once the durability reaches 0 so try to repair them before they get too low.

The utility set provides:

• +75% movement speed on the boots but you use hunger 2x faster and they don't protect you very well
• +50% faster ranged weapons and accuracy on the helmet but provides mediocre protection
• The chest plate provides a new unique effect- reduced-hunger drain! While wearing this device you will drain hunger 50% slower, it has drawbacks though, the device is heavy, slows ranged weapons, and you only heal at 50% the rate with items when wearing it. It provides a tiny amount of protection.

The combat set provides:

• better protection values than even the strongest of metal armor sets, high protection tier. But they are vulnerable in PVP to the swords added in this mod because they deal massive damage to armor durability.
• +20% movement speed and very high protection on the leggings, but 10% increased hunger rate
• +15% ranged accuracy, high protection, but 10% slower move-speed/increased hunger rate on helmet
• The chest plate generates an invisible force field around itself meaning that any attack targeting the chest slot (50% chance) will be completely negated, the armor also amplifies the effect of healing items. The item has fairly low durability though so be sure to frequently recharge it with cells or it will eventually break, items like the temporal sword can chip down the durability pretty quickly as a counter

New schematic/trading system:

• Now you can summon a trader hologram when using a trader summon item, this will spawn a tinkerer trader who can offer up parts and schematics you will need to craft any temporal equipment, save up those gears!
• Schematics are used in the grid with ingredients and will never be consumed, so you can use them forever once purchased.

New stuff:

• The new schematic system introduces a complete overhaul to all the recipes for temporal equipment
• Temporal essence is now the new power source for temporal items, you can obtain the essence from drifters or purchase it from tinkerers then use it to craft temporal power cells
• Added recipe for the creative rotor using very late game components
• New items like ancient plating can be obtained from junk piles, locusts and the tinkerer
