Bulk Plating is a unique armor kit

Really? All other weight modifiers in kits are done in % except bulk plating which is add three. Sort of hard to create actionable pivot tables when you change the metric for just one kit.

It’s the only kit to go.

Or maybe Armor Reduction kits for heavy armor.

Everything else in the game is wasted assets and wasted GB storage on your hard disk

Yes… all three of them…

How dare one-quarter of all kits that modify weight not conform to your expectations!

I prefer master reinforcements ony bracers and boots of the serpents.

It doesn’t fit well in my excel tables that way. It was mostly posted on jest but calculating advantages is quite difficult on any automatic way

I do find it interesting that reducing the armor on heavy armor is considered an advantage…

It is only reduces the armor’s weight (and durability), but the armor value remains the same.

Yes that’s the reaon why you use armor reduction kits. To reduce armor weight.

U dont reducing the armor with that kit lol. U reduce the weight facepalm

You didn’t get the point or the joke. Armor reduction kit the name implies removing armor no matter what the item actually does.

Wow. Yeah I don’t know the game after 4k hours playing it . Agreed faceplam.

Your played hours aren’t displayed anywhere, so when you make a comment that isn’t funny and makes you sound like you don’t know what you are talking about, is it not logical that some people would come to the conclusion that you do not know what you are talking about?

The item’s descriptions explains exactly what it is doing:

“A kit used to identify and remove superfluous weight from armor”

“This kit contains various tools for identifying and removing additional weight from a set of armor, while still maintaining its protective properties.”

Atleast 2-3? people I guess would come to that conclusion, whelp the forum must all agree with you then. /s

And also the name was what the joke was about not the description. I get it now though, you can’t take a joke or look up a name.

Sorry for the deraid OP , I will stay on topic after this post.

you try and “if/the” formula?

=if([cell]=bulk plating, [a +3 formula], [your % formula)

Yeeeeaaaaah…here is the thing…I’m programming it so that I can select on kit from a validated cell and the armorer selection will also change the stats as well based on the type of armor (LMH). The plan is to use lookups to get the right factors from both.
There is a few nested IF statements already in there…I have a feeling I’m going to need to have some hidden fields to make this easier…which means redesigning the thought process…not too painful but still annoying because I always feel hidden data fields are cheating…but the overwhelming complexity of this is starting get my head spinning.

Use VBA for this task. If it still exists. The other option would be VSTO. But both are outdated technologies.

You can also use the office COM libraries for C#, but at this point you can create a whole WPF application anyways.

I understand the frustration.

One way around it is to create a secondary formula where you plug in the armor values/stats and calculate a percentage.

Additionally, if you really want to spend some hours on it, you could create tables with all armor values based on Thrall type and create a drop down selection in the cell to determine the percentage based on selected armor.

I’d offer to help, but I don’t want to.
