Plasteel Armor
Armor · ArmorBody0★Plasteel construction that raises defense while cutting weight, sitting at the edge of what the technology can do.
Plasteel Armor is 65th of 145 body armours by defense, at 385 against the 1,092 of Cold-Resistant Ancient Armor.
Wearing it also carries the effects Cold Resistance Lv. 1, Heat Resistance Lv. 1, which matters more than the raw numbers in the biomes that punish you for the wrong outfit.
It feeds no other recipe, which makes it a terminal item: craft what you will actually carry and stop there.
Details
At 35 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 151,560 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Plasteel Armor
Plasteel Armor is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Plasteel Armor
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: defense runs 385 to 616, a 1.6x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.
