Crystallurgy - in general and in DevNull

[Rollo]

In Devnull Mod Crytalline tech has been beefed up a bit. IIRC the wepaons are a bit better and also you get splinter armor. It gives you very efficient ablative type armor in the early game that even fuels your shields.

And there are the crossover techs, of course. If you take a second race trait you get unique stuff like harmonic shields (very high regeneration), biocrystal armor, or chant crystals (that skip ALL shields).
