Currently the only monsters I know that deal piercing damage are Lichen Colonies, and Giant Lichen Colonies.
Is this right, do you know of any others?? Does this mean piercing armor is essentially a waste of time?
What Monsters deal Piercing damage?

Kake, yeah those slimes you
Kake, yeah those slimes you mentioned are just different flavours of the basic colonies with an effect added on.
Dj, they are. We are talking about what kind of damage they deal.

right and kakelgis suggested that beasts are supposed to deal piercing damage, which to me doesnt make sense, that they would be weak to the damage type that they deal. you know? only reason i mentioned it

Most constructs deal
Most constructs deal elemental damage, but they're weak to elemental damage still

That's because you're thinking about it too systematically. You have to think about it in a more natural way.
Beasts fight with their teeth and claws and whatever body parts they have. Teeth and claws pierce.
Beasts have adapted to be able to survive in many environments, so they're resistant to elemental damage.
Beasts don't have thick metal armour like Constructs—all they have is skin and fur. If you stab them, they'll bleed. So they're weak to piercing damage.
There are obviously a lot of inconsistencies and it isn't perfect, but that's the line of thought behind how all monsters take/deal damage.

oh i see. just seems to go
oh i see. just seems to go against what you normally see in games (where the monster would deal out whatever the opposing type of damage is)
Toxigels, poison-based slimes.
Slooms, sleep-based slimes. Those pretty much no longer exist - The levels they used to reside in seem to have been removed.
Lichen Colonies/Giant Lichen Colonies.
Spike groundtraps.
That's quite literally every single monster/hazard that can deal piercing. Piercing armor is indeed pretty damn useless right now. That will probably be rebalanced in the future. (apparently beasts are supposed to deal piercing?)
