Chain armor
The chain armor is a type of metal armor, made of chains and leather, that can be made from the copper age.
Obtaining
Crafting
The body and leg parts of the chain armor are made from leather jerkin armor parts and copper, bronze, iron, meteoritic iron, steel, silver or golden chains. Only the chain helmet requires no prior armor parts and is instead crafted directly from chains.
To create a full set of this armor you will need: 22x 
leather
and 20x
chains
(or 40x 
ingots
).

Tip:
The easiest way to make chain is to automate a helve hammer to turn 2 ingots into a plate, then place a hot plate on an anvil to remove the voxels required by the chain smithing recipe. |
