From a5bf89f07182b3c328fb5cd8d80b1d0d95ffd463 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Willard <53777086+JohnFulpWillard@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 30 May 2023 14:24:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Significantly lowers Golem's innate armor (#75710) ## About The Pull Request Lowers Golem's 55% innate species armor to 10%. ## Why It's Good For The Game The Golem rework has fixed a lot of problems I had with Golems, but this was by far the most important thing for me. I thought the Golem rework itself would fix it, but instead I feel it was made worse due to their speed increase. Innately, Golems have 55% armor from their species, that is not even comparable to any other species. There's only 2 other species that have this innate armor; Zombies at 20%, and Silverscales at 10%, but both of these are Antagonist roles while Golems aren't always going to be. Golems also now revolve around eating Matierials for their buffs, so paired with their speed increase to match Humans, I don't think this free 55% armor is justified, or fair for people they get in a fight with. They also already have alternatives to this, the Titanium food Golem buff, which gives them brute resistance and harder punches. ## Changelog :cl: balance: Golems' 55% species innate armor has been lowered to 10% /:cl: --- code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species_types/golems.dm | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species_types/golems.dm b/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species_types/golems.dm index eba4add805f..a594b88e4e0 100644 --- a/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species_types/golems.dm +++ b/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/species_types/golems.dm @@ -23,8 +23,8 @@ mutantlungs = null inherent_biotypes = MOB_HUMANOID|MOB_MINERAL liked_food = STONE + armor = 10 payday_modifier = 0.75 - armor = 55 siemens_coeff = 0 no_equip_flags = ITEM_SLOT_MASK | ITEM_SLOT_OCLOTHING | ITEM_SLOT_GLOVES | ITEM_SLOT_FEET | ITEM_SLOT_ICLOTHING | ITEM_SLOT_SUITSTORE changesource_flags = MIRROR_BADMIN | WABBAJACK | MIRROR_PRIDE | MIRROR_MAGIC
