Simple Lamellar Armor

What does this mod do?

This mod lets you craft the previously uncraftable lamellae and their armour for iron, meteoric iron, and steel.

How?

You need a metal plate for each lamellae item, plus a chisel and hammer of the same metal or better. Each lamellae you craft will take 8 durability off each tool.

What's the armour like?

Same price as brigandine, slightly harder to craft, slightly less protective, but much easier to wear with fewer downsides.

Quite a bit cheaper than chain, easier to craft, but also slightly worse.

This armour breaks very quickly compared to plate and scale, but is cheap to repair, and is much less restricting to wear in day-to-day life.

Combat Overhaul compatible?

Nope! But you are free to make your own Combat Overhaul compatible version using my jsons and textures as a base. Please credit me in the mod description if you upload it to the mod DB.

What files does this add/change?

This mod adds three textures: one for each armor.

It also adds recipes to create the lamellae, and craft and repair the armour.

Finally, it patches armor.json to add Meteoric Iron to the lamellar armor pool (method: addmerge), and alters the stats (method: replace) of vanilla iron and steel armour (because they're worse than bronze chain in the vanilla config, probably due to not being touched for several versions).
