Layer Permit Checker

What for?

For sanitizing armor and clothes layouts and to check if that strange mod piece of armor will be usable or not.

How to use?

  1. (For mod stuff) Save the piece of armor you want to test (if you are going to use vanilla stuff, don't worry, I already have it).
  2. (Optional) Choose the race / size of the creature you want to test the armor pieces with.
  3. Start adding the stuff you want to each body part.
  4. It will automatically show you the layout statistics, whether it's viable or not, and the total volume of each layer.

All the math comes from the DF wiki armor and material science articles.

Armor creation section

If you want to add the relevant stats of a modded piece of armor, you can do so here. That way, later, you just need to use the dropdowns.

Note: Default values bellow are those of a breastplate (because i like them).











Math section

Each body section has its own table because that way is more neat (also according to Putnam clothes in one section don't affect the others even if they cover overlapping body parts).

Note: I'm assuming humanoid body distributions for now. Until I get the body data for all the races this is the best I can do to calculate the size of each armor piece. This should provide accurate results for most normal races like dwarfs, humans and so on.

Note 2: I'm assuming that the size of each armor layer affects the following armor layers (on the same body part). This is an assumption, since I haven't been able to find any information about it. In theory, it could be this way or the size could be independent (in which case the size of every layer except the first one would be smaller than what the tables said).
