Armor in Starbound provides defense and often comes with set bonuses. There are three main tiers of armor: Basic (crafted from common ores), Mid-Tier (crafted from rarer ores and refined materials), and End-Game (crafted from Solarium, Aegisalt, Ferozium, and eventually Durasteel and Solarium). Each piece contributes to your overall defense, and wearing a full set often grants powerful buffs like increased damage, energy regeneration, or movement speed. Always aim to upgrade your armor as you progress.
