Currently, we have armor, but it only gives us minor perks, like +1 bullet resistance, or +1 blast resistance.

With 1* apparel crafting schem, yes. But there are 2*, 3*, 4* and 5* schems as well, boosting the bonus up to 5%. And given that you can craft it to 4 different clothing pieces, you can have up to 20% resistance from the “armor”.

@Snipergirl

then you can get up to 6%

No, you can’t.

Proof:

Flight jacket, White; has 1% Bullet resistance by default.

Since i use that, i wanted to increase it’s Bullet resistance:

Lo-and-behold; despite it already having 1% Bullet resistance, i can not craft 2% Bullet resistance to it:

To get the 2% Bullet resistance, 1st, i had to craft the 1% Bullet resistance, wasting bunch of resources, just so that the game has the required “1% bullet resistance schematic” requirement filled.

And once i crafted the 1* schem, for nothing at all, now, i can craft the 2% Bullet resistance:

Edit: I have posted a dedicated bug report about it as well: Requirement to double craft the same apparel bonus

Aesyle have you also noticed this issue that Snipergirl is talking about here:

@Snipergirl

Reason I brought up the crafting of clothing is the two crafting stations share the same storage unit. And crafting of clothes requires, for me anyway-maybe I am doing it wrong, to craft one item from level 1 to level 5 in one go without running out of the required resources. If you stop at level 4 due to lack of enough resources then when you come back to craft to level 5 there is the “NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES” in red and it shows you still need to do level 4, click on level 4 and it states you need level 3 and on down to level 1. So you need to add all the resources up to do all 5 levels at once and make sure you have them all in the storage before crafting.

Can you confirm this or is there a correct method?

@Gysbert

Can you confirm this or is there a correct method?

I’ll take the Blast resistance as an example (since it’s the only one i have from 1* to 5*).

1*
Adhesive - 8
Steel - 24
Rubber - 8

2*
Adhesive - 10
Steel - 30
Rubber - 10

3*
Adhesive - 14
Steel - 42
Rubber - 14
Aluminum - 7

4*
Adhesive - 23
Steel - 69
Rubber - 23
Aluminum - 12

5*
Adhesive - 35
Steel - 105
Rubber - 35
Aluminum - 18
Tungsten - 9

Schem screens

1*

2*

3*

4*

5*

Note: it doesn’t matter to which clothing piece the bonus is crafted. The resource amount is same (i compared 4* blast shirt and 4* blast shoes).

So, if you want to craft 5% Blast resistance bonus, you have to craft all 5 schems, in ascending order.
That translates into, total of:

Adhesive - 90
Steel - 270
Rubber - 90
Aluminum - 37
Tungsten - 9

That’s 496 pieces of resources. Though, Recycling Station can hold 6250 pieces of resources in total.

This was the ealy day bug of apparel crafting, where the crafted bonus didn’t hold and was wiped when you ended your session.

It was fixed in the next update and now, all apparel crafted bonuses will hold, as they are supposed to.

I hope that answered your concerns @Gysbert .

@Aesyle

I hope that answered your concerns @Gysbert .

I had the same problem like Snipergirl, but that was long ago. But Snipergirl posted her remarks recently, so I guess she hasn’t seen that it is fixed now, and neither did I because I only use one outfit, which I fully upgraded.
