MoeLotl Apparel Patch for Rigor Mortis
Mod Features
This mod provides an expansion patch for [b]MoeLotl: Rigor Mortis[/b], enabling the original MoeLotl's LotlQi Garment apparel (and some others) to resist the special damage from Zombies.
In MoeLotl: Rigor Mortis, Taoist Robes and Taoist Master Robes generate a unique shield that blocks all damage from MoeLotl Zombies. This patch extends compatibility to the MoeLotl race’s native clothing, granting select LotlQi Garments and armors the same shielding effect.
Now MoeLotls can wear their beloved sect outfits while battling zombies and demonic threats!
Key equipment updated:
[list]
[*] MoeLotl LotlQi Garments (Robes): Ink-Gathering Robe, Light Cloud Robe, White Snow Robe, Sunlit Robe, Fragrant Sleeves, and Stoneclad Cloak. These now gain the same special shield as the Taoist Robe.
[*] MoeLotl power armors: Flame VermilionBird Armour and Celestial Whale Armour. These now gain a similar special shield as the Taoist Master Robe.
[/list]
Let me know what you think, and give it a thumbs-up if you like this mod. :-)
Balance Notes
In MoeLotl: Rigor Mortis, the shield generated by Taoist Robes completely blocks all Zombie damage as long as it remains intact. This behavior is preserved. Additionally, after shield break, wearing a [b]Taoist Robe[/b] grants a zombie damage factor of 1.0 (no change), while wearing a [b]Taoist Master Robe[/b] grants 0.75 (25% damage reduction).
The LotlQi Garment set shares the same zombie damage factor as the Taoist Robe: 1.0. The MoeLotl power armors have a zombie damage factor of 0.8 (20% damage reduction). This adjustment accounts for their higher shield capacity, making them harder to break. The original Taoist Master Robe remains the strongest option, preserving overall balance.
No weapon stats have been modified—dealing effective damage to MoeLotl Zombies still requires the use of magical tools (Fa Qi).
Q&A
Q: Does this mod alter defense stats (sharp/blunt resistance) of MoeLotl apparel?
A: No. This mod only grants wearers the Taoist shield effect when equipped with these LotlQi Garments or armors.
Q: I noticed Taoist Robes have a special shield texture (e.g. black yin-yang). How does this mod handle that?
A: In MoeLotl: Rigor Mortis, MoeLotls wearing Taoist Robes display a black yin-yang shield. The expansion implements custom shield rendering and texture replacement, which are tied to the clothing item. To maintain visual consistency, this mod assigns corresponding original sect-themed shield textures to each enhanced outfit. Each LotlQi Garment uses its respective sect's native shield appearance—see mod images for details.
Q: My colonist cultivates XXX technique, but the shield appears in a different sect color. Why?
A: As above—the shield appearance is determined by the equipped clothing, not cultivation style, due to integration with MoeLotl: Rigor Mortis's clothing-based shield system.
Q: Are any weapons changed?
A: No.
Q: Is this mod compatible with Crimson Blood (MoeLotl Factions Expanded)?
A: Yes, it is compatible. However, Crimson Blood's clothing items do not receive the Taoist Robe shield effect and offer no special protection against Zombies.
