Armor

Armor is the bread and butter of defenses in Whatever Floats your Boat, along with Cannons. You wont last long without these, they come in two different variants: Small Armor and Regular Armor. For more information on the types of armor, please see Materials.

Armor is an inexpensive defense method for most players that when used in bulk can make a ship last much longer on the water than a traditional wooden boat.

Boats designed by professional players usually coat a wooden framework in armor instead of making it purely out of said armor, as the item type has significant weight, resulting in the construct potentially sinking to the bottom.

Trivia
The strongest armor type in the game is known as Mauvlar.

Armor used to be much much heavier before the game's engine was updated.
