Let me not lie I hate creating content because more than half the fun part is finding out what happens however the armour thing won't really materilize if I don't do it
My idea : The gray goo armour is indeed living it would be very cool if it could absorb other things and take on its characteristic (I'm a massive anime fan to get this idea watch the first 2 episodes of that time I was reincarnated as a slime ) Essentially stuff like ramshackle armour, lighting duster, winter gear
Adapting to the environment
Can anyone tell me how to add stuff on to tits because the living armour thing is an idea mine

To be honest I don't want to write it but if no one else will I'm willing

Also I'm not trying to be arrogant I'm open to criticism

Adding on to already existing content should be simpler than creating something from scratch, but remember that you'll need to ask the grey goo armor's original writer for permission to add on to their character.
For reference and guides on how to write and submit stuff for TiTS, the pinned threads on top of the Event Submission subforum are your friends (all of them).


Although it should be noted that even if you manage to write and edit and submit your idea, there's no guarantee that it'll be implemented into the game as is or even at all.
What you should probably be careful of is not make the grey goo armor too OP, as that would disrupt the game's power balance.


Structure and writing wise, I have a few suggestions:

• a few flags/parsers for each separate state of the armor
  • ex: gooArmorState=1 corresponds to Winter Gear Mode, gooArmorState=2 corresponds to Lightning Duster, etc...
• text blurbs for transitions into/out of each state
  • ex: "Your Grey Goo Armor shifts and rearranges around you. The changes appear to be not only visual but structural as well, as you feel it slide against your skin like silk. Soon, it stablizes into its new form: [insert goo armor state description here]. <b>Your Goo Armor is now in [current goo armor state] mode!</b>"
• text blurbs describing the current state of the goo armor (for example a toggle button in the appearance or codex menu)
  • ex: "Your Grey Goo Armor is currently in [current goo armor state] mode. [insert goo armor state description here]"
• acquiring each upgrade
  • tiny quests for each upgrade
    • ex: you need to go to the white Uveto areas to get the idea to upgrade the armor to winter gear mode, and then to find the material/merchant/mcguffin that'll enable you to actually do so.
  • or you can just tie it to some sort of separate xp bar for the goo armor.
    • ex: it levels up after you win a certain amount of xp while wearing it, which enables it to acquire a new state/mode
  • or you can use a mix of both

Edit: Of course, feel free to ignore those if you already have ideas for what you want to do

ShySquare pretty much nailed it.
