Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
Regarding the armor: since movement can be quite cumbersome in the early stages of the game due to hostile elements, my intention was to give players a bit of assistance very early on, especially when moving between islands, without taking away from the experience that Vulkanus and Fulgora are meant to provide.
I agree that the movement speed penalty may be too harsh at the moment. I will likely speed it up a bit so it does not feel that slow. The main goal of the armor is support, not to be a long-term or mandatory piece of equipment. In earlier versions of the mod, there was nothing like this at all. It was only added recently and definitely still needs balancing.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts and for playing the mod.
I’m glad to hear you’re having fun with it. I’ve personally only played around 20–30 hours so far.
