As far as I know, that happens when the load order changes. Try moving it to the top

I recently subscribed to this mod and saved my game a week back before i logged off with my whole squad wearing all the new armor but i logged on today and all my mods are working except this one. my whole squad is naked right now... is there any new update or workaround for this?

Repackagable?

Also adding a bit more: those armors really shine when you pair them with a strength weapon since theyre not affected by the dex penalty. It's why holy nation goons are still kinda okay with their hackers.

Thanks. Balancing heavy armor is tricky. Generally, my approach is: 100% upper body coverage = bigger dex penalty. These armors mirror crab armor mostly because it's the only heavy armor with ~100% coverage. Basically trading speed for overall coverage. I think that works better than a straight damage penalty which can be a lot more harsh since it affects ALL weapons.

In the past, I've gone back and forth with dex and dam penalties, but I've settled on bigger dexterity penalties for 100% coverage heavy armor because it makes the most sense. I do agree with you though, I also rarely use holy or merc plate. I'll keep your opinion in mind if I do another pass for balancing.

(Okay I forgot about the 50% dex multiplier from crab armor but that one's a meme anyway)

I really like the variety your mod adds to early game gear cobbling. That being said, some balance feedback on some of the heavier armors after seeing them in the shop; you seem to underestimate how detrimental dexterity reduction is. 60% multiplier on some of your heavy armors is absurd. The biggest reduction in the base game is 70% on the (un)holy plate, and that’s unusable.

Slower animations means fewer hits landed and more hits getting through, putting you into a death spiral of longer battles giving enemies more opportunities to hit you, defeating the purpose of wearing such heavy armor in the first place. Samurai just reducing damage while leaving your animation speed mostly intact is a huge part of why it's the best heavy armor in the game.

I'd strongly recommend reducing the dexterity penalty on some of those heavier armors if you want them to be useful to players, maybe replacing them with the damage reduction instead.

@Havel, No replacements, only new additions to armor sets. The only edits are to NPCs and shop lists, and everything else like vanilla armor, is not edited.

@Wat0m, thanks. glad you like it.

this gotta be the best armor mod ever!

does that mod replace existed armor or add new ones?

Hey. Thanks. I think you mean hive worker/drones right? The soldiers can't equip helmets. But yes, more race exclusions will be added soon.

Hello, author. Thank you for creating such an excellent and immersive mod. However, during my gameplay, I found that some head helmets can be equipped by soldier bees, which looks quite strange

According to the fella a few comments below, that's caused by the load order.

I'm relatively new to modding, I really like your armors but the textures are messed up and the icon in shops/inventory are a red X, do you know how to fix this? :( i like the armors alot

That's high praise, thank you.

I've been gradually removing most other armor and clothing mods from my modlists, as this one is so very well done, curated, and vanilla-lore-friendly.

Well done mate and keep up the great work

Very good mod. Awesome job!

Load orderd issue, placed the mod atop and now no problems with textures

Hello, starting a new palythough with this mod on and all the textures are wacky, one example are short pants that have their texture see through on some ways, and the inventory icon shows up as a blank square with a red cross in the middle.
Any help apreciated.

Nice, thanks for making it. Will add to main page

Hey mate - I made a "Take That Off" patch for certain helmets in Expanded Vanilla Armor. For those that prefer, it makes it so Shek, Hive don't have their horns/attenae poking out of certain helmets.

Cheers, this mod is really terrific and such a great vanilla-friendly addition.

Cool. Thank you very much for responding!

Yes. This mod only adds and does not modify any of the base game. The only "edits" are to NPCs and some vendor lists but again only new entries are added and none of the base entries are modified. Import is not required. Shops will eventually update on their next restock, but I believe NPCs that have already spawned in will not get the new armors without an import. And that only applies to visited towns, really.

Hey, just making sure after looking at the spread sheet, this doesn't effect the base armours, right? It makes some variants of them but does not modify any base armours. And it also doesn't require an import, yes?

Tsume pants I think but probably not enough to give complete protection to hives

just asking there is a pair of pants that have burning protection?, so i can use hive soldiers in venge

Don't know how I miss stuff like that. It's fixed. Thanks for letting me know.

No, sorry, its too many edits. But, I might create my own vendor lists instead of editing the base game vendor lists which may or may not help with that problem. Though most of the modded entries should have equal chance of spawning with other entries assuming they have a weight of 100, and I myself rarely add entries with more than 100 chance. More appearing than normal is just probability.

Hi Boss. Can I make a big request? Could you half the spawn chance of every armor piece at vendor lists? That way they blend better at the spawn pool with other armor mods.

No UWE support by me. More colored armor is a maybe. I've been having issues applying color maps to some of my samurai armors so I'm hesitant to waste more of my time with it.

Will UWE support be added? And any colored armor?

Hello, I made a mod based on your mod EVA. It's a patch of CER, a version that re-balanced the Cut Efficiency instead of removing it. It's fully credited to you and if there's a problem you have full control over it.

Here is the mod if you would want to see:

чтобы отображались иконки брони я поставил мод самым последним

No idea. Icons and the ranger armor work fine for me. Maybe it's a conflict? Try messing around with your load orders or playing with only my mod enabled in a new game. Also try deleting the mod's icons in Kenshi's data folder.

i have the same issue as tombi, love the mod but makes it hard to know what you're getting at a glance, makes trying to find a specific armor you saw in a shop very annoying.

why do none of the armors in this modpack have inventory textures ? also , the ranger armor doesnt have any texture whatsoever so the torso becomes invisible

Would be nice only hats and helmet on flotsam ninja Jounin like vanilla not on flotsam ninja :).

Specifically the medium ragpants are named ragpants heavy, so the name just has to be corrected back to medium.

Ignore my last comment, I had the load order wrong. Yes, that mod seems to be the cause. It looks like only name of the armor is wrong, not the blueprint. It's something the author has to fix, but I honestly have no idea how that mod works.

Alright, after annoyingly testing and narrowing it down.
MEGA All-In-One Compatibility Pack is the cause. HOWEVER, it is only the cause if it's loaded first. If it's loaded second, it works fine? And I don't understand?

Tecness, It's correct in my game. I would check for mods that are overwriting mine.

Crest, you need tech level 4.

I also looked through it and it does link to Ragpants - Medium. It might be an issue with my game, but would you check if it works correctly in your game?

Does anyone know what bench and tech is needed to make ashland turtlenecks?

I'm not sure how that's happening, but I've checked several times in the FCS and the blueprint is correct.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3512002996
And it does infact give Ragpants - Heavy.

I checked the blueprint and it only enables the medium ragpants. I did consider a MA increase to the blindfold, but I'm leaning towards logically it shouldn't. I'd also say not having a MA penalty is already a bonus.

Ragpants - Medium research blueprint allows the user to craft Ragpants - Heavy.
And an opinion/suggestion is the Blindfold should increase martial arts. Not for any logical reason, just moreso, there's a decent amount of blind martial artists in fiction.

Thanks. I'll consider your opinion
