Warm Gambeson

In the Middle Age, gambeson armor also had the benefit of being both comfortable and warm, because it is just a very thick layer of cloth. Vintage Story does not follow that logic, except that in 1.21 it added bear hide armor which does in fact provide warmth. This mod rectifies this oversight and provide a slight warmth bonus to gambeson armor, with tailored gambeson providing the most warmth (as an add-in bonus for Tailors out there).

 

A full sewn gambeson armor will provide a total of 3°C of warmth (head: 0.5°C, body: 1.5°C, legs: 1°C)

A full tailored gambeson armor will provide a total of 4.5°C of warmth (head: 0.5°C, body: 2.5°C, legs: 1.5°C)

Be aware that like every other clothing in the game, you will need to maintain your gambeson to keep the warmth bonus as high as possible.

 

On default settings with body temperature hardiness at 0°C and wearing a full set of fur clothing and the new warm gambeson armor will allow you to survive to temperature as cold as -9.5°C (or -11°C with tailored gambeson)

 

This mod is not compatible with game versions prior to 1.21 and there will be no backporting because this mod relies on a feature added in 1.21

Compatible with Combat Overhaul, I have tested it and there are no conflicts. With CO I believe you can wear bear hide on top of your gambeson for even more warmth.

This mod is a simple JSON edit, if you want your gambeson to be warmer you can change the values yourself inside the .zip, I will not add configuration files as that requires coding and is outside the scope of this mod.
