Every scale material was in the "scute" group, and nothing in Truly
Modular accepts it - not Armory's armour, not Arsenal's or Archery's
parts. MIAPI's own turtle and armadillo scutes are stuck the same way.
So the 22 scale materials now carry "bone" as a hidden group: matched
when a module decides what it will accept, ignored when the workbench
decides what heading to file the material under, which is how Armory
hands its own gem slots vanilla materials. That is every piece of
armour except the scuba set, which takes fabric/metal/glass, plus tool
and bow parts.
Dragon bone gains "gem_armor" the same way, so it can be set into an
armour socket rather than only shaped into the armour; it already built
grips and handles as a bone.
Sea serpent fang is new - Ice and Fire has no sea serpent bone, and the
fang is what a serpent leaves besides its scales. It grants water
breathing, which is what Ice and Fire's own Tide Guardian armour does
and what nothing in MIAPI can express: WaterBreathing.java registers an
attribute and answers LivingBreatheEvent, exactly as FireImmunity and
VacuumSeal do, but only with the bearer's eyes in water so a fang is
not half a spacesuit.
