Padding scaling for the wiki
« on: July 01, 2020, 06:19:27 pm »
Trying to add some information to the wiki, but not actually sure about the scaling - figured I'd solicit some assistance.

There's a reduction in padding resistances when used as a boot component as opposed to a body armor component. For galvanic padding, q119 gives 20%/6 in leather, and 14%/4 in boots. At q101, it gives 18%/6 and 12%/3, respectively.

I need to generate a few more data points to confirm, but it looks like the boots recipe might treat padding as if it had a ~30-40% reduction in quality or possibly a flat ~40-45 - probably the former. I also need to figure out if the same pattern holds true for other forms of padding (no reason it shouldn't), and possibly how it holds up for leather itself.

Aha - useful to know. So leather used in boots has the .35 modifier as well?

Also, I know tabis drop all mech resist, but what's interesting is I get much better heat/acid DR on my siphoner tabis than my boots (although the boots have a little DT).
