I have been looking at the Mob Damage List on the https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/ top page.
I have noticed a pattern which I am sure everyone knows about
.. but just in case here is my cunning theory anyway. :wise:
Mobs provide various types of damage which can be a selection of Stab, Cut and Impact and occasionally Acid or Electrical. The specifications of armour give their protection values for all or some of the above damages.
Using the Mob Damage List it seems that the damage provided for a particular armour is as follows:
Damage = damage w/o armour – (stab + cut + impact + acid + electrical protection)
So to calculate the damage for your armour from a particular mob all you need is the damage without armour (can be found by going up to a mob nude and thumbing your nose at it), the type of damage the mob causes and the stats for your armour.
e.g. the damage from an Argonaut Guardian against Knight Armour would be
40 – (0+12+12+0+0) = 16
where the Argonaut causes cut and impact damage. You can see that the stab protection does not help as the mob does not cause that type of damage and that Knight does not have any acid or electrical protection.
This assumes that the armour is in good condition. I have yet to find out what happens if the armour is of mixed type. Damage is never less than 1.
Also there is penetration, burn and shrapnel to take into account for robots.
To get you started here is the provisional calculated damage types of a number of mob. The damage includes these but may not be limited to them. Please check, if you can.

The challenge now is for someone to bring out a program to take mob and armour and return damage per hit J
Many thanks to the author of the Mob Damage List
