do modsuits have protection? Because I searched for everything with a siemens_coefficient variable of 0 when I was doing this. do they use an alternate method or something. Also, does siemens_coefficient actually function like a binary? Most gloves have a coefficient of 0.5 and latex has 0.3, which seems like it would indicate otherwise |

A suggestion I might have as an alternative: shock thresholds. Gloves would protect against low power, but at extreme power even hardsuits would leak through. |
This is an idea I've thought about before, where high voltage would even bypass proper insulated gloves, but it'd be significantly more work. And a bit beside the point of this particular pr, since i mostly just wanted to de-insulate combat and captain gloves. Maybe later. |
code/modules/mod/mod_theme.dm, Line 31 and 317 the damage is multiplied by the coeff sigh.... oh and also a very large amount of shocks, just skip gloves, no protection frick you. |
