I made this just for myself but decided to post it. This mod makes Patchleather more useful since I found it dumb that using only strong leathers still resulted in something bad. Now, human leather can be used and it can be crafted at the Crafting Spot. It also provides better armor against sharp, blunt and heat, but still maintaining the poor insulation, low heat resistance, and low market value, turning it into an alternative to Lightleather. Compared to vanilla Patchleather, it now has;
Lower market value ($1.50 vs. $1.30)
Higher sharp resistance (45% vs. 55%)
Higher blunt resistance (19% vs. 20%
Higher heat resistance (90% vs. 100%)
Higher insulation for heat and cold (9.0C vs. 10.0C)
Reinforced Patchleather is also added, needing to be crafted at a Tailoring Bench and requiring 10 Crafting Skill. It consumes 75x Steel and 50x Patchleather to make 50x Reinforced Patchleather. It has much higher stats but still has terrible insulation. It can be compared to Synthread;
Lower market value ($4.00 vs. $2.50)
Lower hit points (130% vs. 100%)
Higher sharp resistance (94% vs. 100%)
Lower blunt resistance (26% vs. 23%)
Higher heat resistance (90% vs. 100%)
Lower insulation (22.0C vs. 12.0C)
With this I think Patchleather is slightly more useful especially early on and gives it a small use later.
This is my first mod. Any suggestions are welcome.
