Armor would be an awesome addition, but what if the armor was also kind of special.
Let’s say you go to a T7 Umbris Planet, and you defeat some of the Wildstock there. They would drop their special hide which be specific to the color you see them as, but also since they have Umbris effects those would be applied to the armor as well.
Scenario: Defeat some Umbris effect, blue colored Wildstock. Take the special hide they drop and craft it in the workbench and then finally craft in the refinery (or something). The final product would be a thick blue strong armor (since it came from a T7) with Umbris effect accents. Since it was from a Umbris planet, the armor would also give a defense buff to it’s opposite.
