What you need to remember is that despite the difference in percentage values of protection appearing relatively small on surface, they make a massive difference once you account for how actually the damage system works in RimWorld. So it's basically a comparison between very solid 130% on torso alone vs. Recon armor is much more expensive to make so you'll usually end with its average quality being about 1 level lower than flak vests. There is also tiny decrease in speed of 0.12. The downside is that this setup leaves limbs to be fairly vulnerable, but also you can make bionic replacements with relative ease, so that's not a huge downside in long term. That 130%+ sharp on torso is pretty amazing. Vest itself is extremely good as far as base parameters go, protects what matters most and is silly cheap so you can easily equip everybody in excellent quality. To large degree duster also is barely relevant as far as armour goes unless it's something like hyperweave/thrumbofur duster of masterwork quality.ĭuster and vest works surprisingly well for several reasons. Pants and shirt are effectively irrelevant as armor.

Power armor is the very best type of armor you can equip on your colonists. It is what you should aim to put on all your colonists in the late game. It does have movement penalties so it may not be best on every melee fighter if you plan to chase fleeing enemies.ĭevilstrand is better than flak and if you get a whole outfit of it your colonists become fire proof. If extremely hot or cold it sits on a shelf close to my defense zones. If the climate is mild it is worn at all times. Metal plate is superior to wooden plate (obviously) but works best against melee attacks. The movement speed debuff makes me reluctant to put it on melee fighters and long range shooters. Everyone gets a vest but only the closest to the enemy gets the jacket and the pants. Shotgunners, SMG users, some pistol shooters, etc. Leather is typically more protective than cloth.įlak armor is a niche armor for me. Normal clothing gives minimal protection. Ideally a nudist is not on the front lines. No clothing > normal clothing > flak armor > metal plate > devilstrand > power armor
