Sloped Armor

We need to indicate how Sloped is different from non-sloped armor. I think sloped armor will slightly deform to its surroundings as you're applying it - but I'm not sure, and not sure how it works. Jarod997 (talk) 20:01, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Block descriptions for the newer armour blocks will have its own headers. It's on my To-Do list, I'm just finishing up the rest of the block pages that are empty/dated/stubbed. However, that being said. I can include the headers and you (or others) are free to write in a more in-depth explanation. As for deformation, if there is a big enough difference worth mentioning between slopped/non-slopped, you can add that information under the Armor_block#Deformation header. --Sapphire (talk) 03:01, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Deformation Ratio

Test case: Creative, 3x3x1 LargeBlockArmorBlock (Standard Light Armor Block) vs Elite Automatic Rifle

Deformation ratio is undefined (Unchanged)

42 shots to destruction

Light deformation

Deformation Ratio 0.1

42 shots to destruction

No visible deformation

Deformation Ratio 10

42 shots to destruction

Significant deformation

Surrounding blocks deformed but took no damage in any test case.

Conclusion

DeformationRatio does not in any way affect a block's resistance to bullets.

Test case: Creative, 3x3x1 LargeBlockArmorBlock (Standard Light Armor Block) vs Reactor & 10kN Ion Thrust kinetic rocket

Deformation ratio is undefined (Unchanged)

Target center at 41%

Light deformation

Deformation Ratio 0.1

Target center at 100%

No visible deformation

Deformation Ratio 10

Entire target is missing

Conclusion

DeformationRatio does affect damage resistance to physical collisions

Test case: Creative, Large Warhead block vs target range remains

Deformation ratio at 10

Half the test range is missing

Deformation ratio at 0.1

Minor damage

Conclusion

DeformationRatio does affect damage resistance to explosions

Final conclusion

A lower DeformationRatio increases effective block health against collisions and explosions, but not bullets.

Stats

Notice, Armor_block#Large_Armor_Blocks there are no line with "Light Armor Corner 2x1x1 Tip" (on "small armor blocks" table it is ok)

Fixed. Special:Browse/Mod:Vanilla/CubeBlock/LargeBlockArmorCorner2Tip was missing Property:Public. --Vox Serico (talk) 12:32, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
