The remaining armor rating is then compared against a random number from 0 to 100.
*Armor - Sharp…The chance to affect sharp damage like bullets, knife stabs, explosions, and animal bites.Upon taking damage, first this armor rating is reduced by the attack's armor penetration value. The secrets of its production are known only to the most advanced glitterworld cultures. While it flexes freely most of the time, it stiffens to absorb blows as they land, and is incredibly difficult to break.
Version/1.1.0 - Apparels made from hyperweave can no longer be burnt.Basics - hyperweaveNano-fibers woven into sheets molecule-by-molecule using specialized production mechanites. It is also the least flammable textile, tied with Devilstrand. Sculptures are a better way to improve room quality, while the hyperweave itself is better used to protect pawns as clothing. Even a pair of Normal Hyperweave Pants have a 12% chance to outright nullify a bullet from an assault rifle, and another 12% chance to half the damage.įor use in furniture, hyperweave's exceptional beauty factor and market value make for very good buffs to room quality, however this is a waste of its potential. That said, even as less protective items of clothing, hyperweave still offers decent protection. Hyperweave should be preferentially turned into dusters to fully exploit its protective stats, and only if there is a significant surplus should it be turned pants and button-down shirts. The difference is likely moot however, as both materials are uncommon enough that the player will rarely have to choose between them. Thus, while Thrumbofur will perform slightly better against the most common damage type, hyperweave is a better generalist. The heat armor is significant though, offering good protection against inferno cannon that become common in the late game. Due to the low blunt armor offered by clothing in general, the difference in blunt armor is only likely to be relevant at high quality levels and only on dusters, as the AP of most blunt weapons will completely nullify the little protection offered by the items.
Thrumbofur offers slightly better sharp armor and exceptional cold insulation, while the hyperweave offers better blunt armor, significantly better heat armor and slightly better heat insulation. The question of superiority is not a simple one however. Of all the other textiles, only thrumbofur is comparable. Hyperweave is one of the two most protective and insulative textiles in the game and is the premier choice for dusters and other protective clothing.
Hyperweave cannot be grown or manufactured, instead it is only available through trading, the cargo pod event or offered as a quest reward.Īdditionally, some raiders and outlanders will occasionally come wearing hyperweave apparel. Hyperweave is a space age, highly protective and rare fabric produced only on high-tech Glitterworlds.
