oh it's not as hard as diamond? oh well it can actually be made into armour
(i'm prob wrong about that too )[DOUBLEPOST=1370009508][/DOUBLEPOST]brb going to make wurtzite boron nitride armourI believe greg has plans for osmium later. for now, you can compress 9 ingots of it into a super-explosion-resistant block. And osmium armor would be a terrible idea, considering that it is even heavier than depleted uranium; it is one of the heaviest materials know to man, and also one of the rarest. I believe its primary use is in surgical scalpels and fancy pens, they add a single bead to it, and it costs thousands of dollars.
10 full armour pointsWell osmium is harder than diamond so i'd asume it's better
How much % armour is a full set?
nah, I see that as kind of power armour... servo's to help with movement etc.
"Correspondingly, its bulk modulus is extremely high, reported between 395 and 462 GPa, which rivals that of diamond(443 GPa)."
From Wikipedia
Apparently we're all right.
Osmium armour is better than diamond
Except Lambert, because diamond armour has 10 points too
Although it's possible that Osmium has secret hidden extra armour points like Quantum Armour/Gravisuite or MPS, but they both use (as far as I know) different ways to block damage than the "vanilla" armour points (which are redundant anyway because of enchantments)
I thought dia was 9.5 in the modpacks.. ah well. It's probably the same dam reduction but lesser durability."Correspondingly, its bulk modulus is extremely high, reported between 395 and 462 GPa, which rivals that of diamond(443 GPa)."

Osmium armor has lower durability and much lower enchantability than diamond. I think in the modpack Lambert is playing in the very best armors outside of MPS is Ars Magica's archmage armor (which is fantastically expensive but very good) and Thaumium Armor, which has very high enchantability and with enchantments can offer the same protection.
