Weapon Smithing Bugged?

[[RR]MarcusBanterelius]

My character doing the smithing is level 61 is Weapon smithing.
I've have the advanced smithing that uses ancient science books unlocked.
I'm also using a level 2 smithy and it's in a well lit area, While smithing it says I'm at full efficiency, injuries etc arent holding me back.

My smith does have a robot left arm, but it's fully healed. It's at 59 health.


Yet my smith only keeps producing catun 1 grade weapons??? Even though I've unlocked higher.
Whats going on. Do I need to import the game

Refitted blade is the max of the weapon smith I, which would be a catun No. 1 on a critical success.

You sure You upgraded the weapon smithy? Next would be: You still keep those recipes, so when You just set it on repeat, it will still produce the refitted blade ones, so You would need to choose the other ones on higher quality. You will have three options for each weapon after having access to the weapon smithy III.

Sounds like you're missing the "Advanced Weapon Grades" tech.

To craft Catun 2 and higher you need four things.

1. Skill level high enough to craft the models. For Catun 2 this would just be 35, so you're good.

2. The "Advanced Weapon Smithing" tech, which is a tier 3 tech, to unlock the level 2 weapons smithing bench.

3. To be using the level 2 or higher weapons smithing bench. Which needs the tech mentioned above.

4. And the "Advanced Weapon Grades" tech. Which unlocks the other models, and is a tier 4 tech.

If you have only the first three, but not the fourth, you'd be stuck with a bench that can only make Catun 1, like you're experiencing.

So I need to unlock a tier 4 work bench to craft beyond Catun 1 and 2?

Tier 4 research bench, yes. So that you can research the tech needed.

When You have already researched anything higher than Catun No.1 You will already have "Advanced weapon grades" researched, as the research before, and including No1, is called "basic weapon grades". You could theoretically craft Mk III weapons with 61 skill, but with a grade II bench You can only craft Catun No. 3, with Mk I on critical success.

You said You have unlocked higher grades via research already...
