Mod Metal and Armor penetration

(1/1)

moghopper:
Quick question, I'm making a custom metal and was wondering how to improve the armor penetration. I want it to punch through steel, but have no idea how to do this...


Edit:  here are the metal's properties

BlackFlyme:
To make a material better than steel, just make its various _YIELD and _FRACTURE values higher than steel's values.

I'll do that now, and check the arena results.


Edit: still just deflecting off of steel

Extra Edit: I accidentally left the game running. There are teeth EVERYWHERE.

BlackFlyme:
Did you make sure that all of the values were altered?

It looks like you only changed the tensile values.

AH! that must be it. Thanks!


Edit: That did the trick. Ebonsteel now cuts through anything Non-Spoilery like butter. Thanks!
