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
).

Protip:
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. |

Usage
While chain armor is inherently useful for combat protection, it's also an ingredient in other armor types: add 2 leather and 12 scales to make scale armor or 16 plates to make plate armor.
Notes
- Steel ingots and meteoric iron ingots require an iron anvil; iron ingots require a bronze anvil or higher; bronze ingots can be worked on a copper anvil. Attempting to place an ingot on an anvil of a lower tier than required results in an error message instead of smithing menu.
