@douglas0828 - so the way the system works is the weight of the weapon is tied to the blunt damage it deals, in turn, it is also tied to the amount of material it will use, example: if the weapon you are trying to craft weighs 50kg, you need 50kg or more of materials.

Tamahagane burns out way too fast =/

:3

@KirrieD, sure no problem..

Hi, can I take this mod and your other works for my build?)

In my case I am indeed using automated extraction mods, but I still find that tamahage is used up so quickly and there is a crazy requirement per weapons, though looking back at it iirc there was no way to tweak it since game automatically adjust recipes based on the weapons, might also be just related to game jankines, either way gona find eventually since I am making a fresh start.

Thank you for your work, this is a great mod.

@Raf's I haven't been online for a very long time, as per your question, its kinda working as intended, my intended scenario is by the end game, with a great smith, you would need to venture out into monster infested areas to gather horns and claws, thus curbing the snowball effect that would occur if carbon and tamahagane production is fully automated, of course if you want to automate carbon production then there are lots of mods out there that lets you mine carbon, I believe Space Lettuce made one for this mod specifically, he added carbon to the trader stock usually from hivers, this will augment your production of tamahagane and thus Master and Legendary weapons. Hey thanks for the favorite.

For those that may be confused Carbon iirc is actually in game, it has just never been implemented, so only way to obtain it is through mods of which there are a few both manual and fully automated.

Recently came back to Kenshi and good to see mod is still being worked on, it's one of my all time favorites and a must have at this point, gana try out new version now but has there been any change to the steel requirements for Tamahagane? I find that even with a massive base I could barely even feed 1 single weapon smith bench with materials, which ended up in hours and hours of waiting around for weapons.

@Ruthless Cardigan - Its fine, and I know well about the balance of the Manufacturers and Weapon Types, its a fun system that they applied where your skill in crafting and the quality of the weapon is completely tied together.. the weight and sharpness of the weapon is set via the weapon itself be that a katana or a mace, it is completely tied to the materials required to craft the item, this is also completely related to its price, everything is in an automatic balance in a way, but I do understand that the mod is overpowered combined with other mods such as mod that gives you automatic carbon farming..

grrr
it IS a sandbox game
hard to find good mods and im too stoopid to learn new tricks
i was inappropriately venting frustration, sorry i came off so priggish

@Ruthless Cardigan - its your game you play by how you want to play, Im just here to give some options, cheers..

what? you made mods BEFORE you found out you couldnt make edge 3?

how on earth can i believe that there will be any sort of balance with this mod if you didn't know something like that? What else dont you know or understand?

i like kenshi because it doesn't shower you with over powered items. its how you play that decides if you win a fight, even down to whether or not you get into one...

your initial mod concept sounds neat, and so after logging more kenshi hours, i remembered your mod and came looking, only to find you are doing the same 'i need MOAR POWER' crap everyone else is doing.

Excellent, i was semi-looking for a mod that allows me to craft better weapons but not the *best* weapons, nor has too many new grades of quality (for me personally), and this is the one! Cheers

Updated the Mod for some semblance of balance, the idea behind this is your Master Smith, can can in theory match Meitou weapons, not exactly the same power but with the incentive of being slightly easier to use, and used the animal horns and claws so that you cant just leave your smith, speed up time and when you get back hed crafted a crap-fuck-ton of Legendary steel, you have to do a bit of micromanagement.

oh nice lol i just started playing as well, but yea the lack of carbon is problematic ty for the update.

Updated mah dudes!

@cerebus23 Im thinking of updating the mod soon, Ill post when ready, Ill try to make this compatible with the https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1222324217&searchtext=general mod suggested by @Jukka Wolf, Im just getting back to Kenshi again after a long time due to: Bannerlords, CK3, Valorant, Dota2, and some others.. hope you guys will like it..

you can "fix" the mod, sort of by opening the "steel folding bench" in the editor and double clicking the tamahangne entry in it and just deleting the carbon entry.


i was trying to figure out how to modify the bench to use the genmod carbon, but no dice yet, might try adding that carbon to the bench if i can find it but think the only carbon entry i have listed is for the smiths mod despite having both loaded.


anyone else figures it out hit back here.

So glancing at this mod, it looks neat, but the crafting seems to require an item that even the modder is not certain exists in the game? How is this possible/ Can anyone confirm that this mod functions before I take it for a spin?

@Bruhnation Republic, Finest Weapons and Armor

I see you with that Skyrim reference.

Carbon is created by a bunch of various mods

Where is the carbon?? I never find it.

@Nuke Skywalker, yeah you need what is needed by the item, its all based on your economic settings, and the materials needed by the weapon that you are making, theres no settings in the creation kit to tweak that, basically its dynamically applied, how much material is needed when builing a weapon.

@BorenX Is it supposed to be taking 20-25 tamahagane to make an item? In game description says 5, but it's definitely taking a ton more. Currently at 90 skill.

get mods that add carbon for sale and production vvvvvvv

Consider replacing Carbon with the Coal from GenMod. That, or add a way to turn coal into carbon. That way this mod can remain viable.

Seems like finding carbon is still an issue (?)

300 hrs I havent seen any carbon yet but go plenty of edge3

Hi, great mod, can anyone tell me where i can find carbon, been searching in most of the shops but only can find coal, thanks

One if i rember i fix that when i sent you texsturs then if you have have smith that could craft weapons on 100 procent then you will get your weapon but you reamber on think ligth is good to have @Brandon @BorenX

@Brandon you dont need to research Legendary grade, if you can craft Master Grade, you have 10% chance to craft Legendary Grade weapons at level 99 - 100, yes its expensive, Its equivalent to a Cross Meitou weapon, and as you may well know, Cross weapons are very rare..

Hey so, how do I research Legendary grade. I researched Master Grade but I can't find Legendary? Also the making of master grade steel is way too expensive for how long it takes to get there.

i will send them when i will have time on friday

@TheKinari9 yeah sure dude send me the link, on like a googledocs or something, sorry I was busy with life, I will update your textures when you upload them and I will incorporate them into the mod..

@BorenX

PS i fix abit crafting legendary weapon then now that you now that you will craft if you have 100 procend in smithing in weapon

hey guys i did some playing with texsturs of legendary weapons and master look more better if you want and autor of this mod agread i will post my twick ver to nexsumodmenager sorry again for speaing erros

i have suggestion. how about you switch carbon recuirment to use "Coal" instead that comes whit "General Modifcation" mod? https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1222324217&searchtext=general

the coal is being sold by many vendors and the mod also has ability to mine it aswell.

One think i want say gread mod but you say that wan you craft legendary weapon sarpnes will decrist but that is not happend secend think is you cant craft legendary weapon if you will twick some think in game to make shore if you dont add to level is to weapon smith4 to make shore is work . And sorry for bad spealing english is not my first language i hope you will fix that think

This is one of a few mods that increase the grades that weapons can be beyond Edge 1, 2, or even 3. Is it possible to get higher grades (such as Legendary) for everything else (armor, crossbows, cybernetic limbs)? Cybernetic limbs, especially.... Wouldn't the legendary grade of some things effect swimming much less, perhaps by popping air floats and fins or something? This isn't necessarily something that would have to be animated, but you'd think that legendary cybernetics would have all sorts of hidden functions.

cant find any carbon, can it be removed or have it add with the mod would help

Ah, i didnt import my game, that might be the issue here.
Unfortunately i dont think i can do that cuz that will respawn all my enemies but ill try it out with another playthrough eventually. Ty for modding. :)

@Pygmalion, I honestly dont know why that is for you, but just in case, I have updated the mod to the latest version of the game, and some adjustments, remember to import your game, also these research path is found in the end game, you need atleast 90 - 95 smithing to get master grade steel and 100 to get legendary steel at 10% chance

Not crafting, smithing* section

Hey, i need some help with this if you have the time. I cannot find the research needed to craft these weapons at all. Ive finished almost all research in the crafting section and not a single option popped up from your mod... After downloading this mod the only thing thats changed is the fact that tahamagane spawns in the world in hn's storages and stuff like that. Do you know why?
-Ty for modding.

@Abuata, yeah I did notice that too, carbon is very rare, you can find them in some hiver villages, you can find some other mods that would give you the ability to mine or buy carbon.
@thatlonelygamer08, yeah Legendary Steel is on par with Cross, but 10% less sharp, if the weapons is a blunt weapon then its equal or even stronger, with additional weapon handling, katanas and bladed weapons will be 10% weaker, much easier to wield. ofcourse you need 100 in smithing to craft one at 10% chance..

There is no carbon. At all. It is no longer a used asset. What the fuck do i do now?

been playing a while but i only just now got into Smithing so i have a question are we able to make a sword at least even with cross or no? (hate trying to get those on current run)

ah, thanks
