I imagine they would somewhat harder to kill, but bear in mind this mod simply adds heavy armour to the torso and legs of most skeletons.

Head armour is still missing, and it's going to be a lot of work to implement.
Primarily because if I re-enable the head slots for skeletons I will have to add race flags to every piece of headgear and exclude the pieces that don't fit skeletons(and their subtypes).

So skeletons now will be even more hard to kill? Excellent! Now I can actually make them into fighters! Their heal now worth it's money.

Feel free to adjust the textures to your liking.
They are in Kenshi\mods\SkeletonArmor\textures

Im not sure about the way it looks. It looks like you baked some bread and a skeleton decided to wear it. Also it doesnt fit the overall scrap looking theme of Kenshi

yeah it has the resemblance of a burned, charred, torn/ripped flesh look, pretty neat

Nah, not intentional. I'm colourblind, but at least it's doing something right.

Was it intentional that the skeleton armor looks like an imitation of flesh, in contrast to normal armor made of metal? In any case, a creepy but very cool touch.

I want to make a different mesh for the rusty armour as well, so it has a bit less coverage and more rust holes & dents

Any skeleton armour you find should work just fine with skeletons & skeleton subraces but the starting scenario only appears to work with plain skeletons.

Mainly because it has to reference a specific character, and I don't think a character can be more than one subrace at a time.

I was a soldierbot sub race

I can take mine off & put it back on, were you a skeleton? Have not figured out how to racelock the starting scenarios.

Just tested the new starting armor and if you take off the armor you cannot put it back on.

Just added some rusted armour, and a new starting scenario to utilize it.

It's worse than the standard armour, but has a much better chance of spawning.

Looking a lot better.

And there we go, will start doing rusted variants, and possibly some C3PO textures at some point

New mesh and textures very soon, Will no longer look like plastic.

looks like a synth from fall out 4

Nice to see this on the workshop! Looking really good.

That's what I was going for, might make a C3PO texture at some point

kinda reminds me of star wars. in the way that C3PO models have metal plating covering all thier circuits and wires.
