Unknown Armor Crafting Station? (Armour Crafting Station)

[Serath]

So after uninstalling all my mods and slowly reinstalling them one by one, LOOTed the load order with a few manual adjustments that it wasn't catching, I've damn near eliminated my crashes. *knocks on wood.*

I've been trying to craft the armor from this mod here,

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/23344/?

and according to the description, it mentions an AWKCR armor crafting station. I 've had that mod forever and didn't even know it came with it's own station, since I thought all the mod was supposed to do make mods that add new clothing/armor comptabible. (Basically, show up at all in the game.)

But I can't seem to find this station, unless it's the one I have selected in the picture below, but I can't seem to craft it.

Never heard of such a perk.

I used console commands to give myself perks, etc to just see if it means I need any of the other workbenches, but no, nothing. The armor workbench on the left is the same workbench that you can find in the middle of Santurary, but otherwise requires one rank in the "Armorer" perk.

The one in the middle requires 2 ranks in "Local Leader" (seemingly the default requirement according to the F4 Wiki, I guess my mods are changing it) and looks different, but as far as I can tell, functions exactly the same as the other workbench.

The third workbench on the right, the one with the mannequin and you can currently see Piper working on, is the special workbench from Armorsmith Extended, which actually lets you craft "actual armor" from the game and from any mods that support it. Unfortuantley the mod I mentioned earlier isn't one of them, it wants the AWKCR bench instead.

I have no idea where this fourth workbench is coming from, the one I have selected in the pic called "Armour Crafting Bench." Perhaps this is actually the AWKCR bench I'm looking for that will allow me to craft the mercenary gear? Regardless, I can't seem to craft it anyway as it requires a perk that doesn't exist. A perk called "Armour Crafting Bench." If it's saying I just need to craft the other "armo(u)r" crafting benches at least once, I already did...unless it's not detecting it because it's got that British English way of spelling ARMOR and expecting to see ARMOUR somewhere.

Other than AWKCR, Armorsmith Extended, (and some mod that allows me to crafting stuff for Power Armor, I think that's still ASE) I don't really have any other mods that adds benches.

The one on the right that character is standing at is the armor crafting bench from AWKCR. Armorsmith Extended doesn't add it's own bench, it uses the AWKCR bench.

I have no idea what the bench in your workshop menu there is or why it has a weird perk requirement. It might be cause by an outdated reference to the AWKCR bench from another mod.

Forgive me if I am misunderstanding something. I beleive there are 3 workbenches that come with AWKCR and/or Armor Extended. There is an Ammunition Workbench, Armor Crafting workbench (Manaquin) and a Weapon Crafting Work bench. The Weapon crafting one is near the Regular ones.

Looking at the Mod on Nexus it seems to want the Armor Crafting (manaquin) workbench. If you are not finding the armor there, I don't know what to say. Ask in the mod posts in the mod page for assistance. depending on how many mods you are running there may be issues with menus available in the Armor Crafting Bench.

The Armour Crafting Station is probably from Eli's Armour Compendium.

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/22431/?

However, that workbench is only used to craft the items added by that mod. It wouldn't affect the mod Scavenged Mercenary Gear at all.

Are you sure you have all the required mods? You need The Mercenary Pack as well as AKWCR.

Now that I think about it, you're right. ASE has you download other stuff from other mods, including AWKCR.

I have all the mods you mentioned. I guess I have to look more into the categories to find out exactly where the armor is being crafted.

Yeah, needed the Mercenary Pack, didn't catch that.

That's weird. I didn't know Eli's mod came with a workbench. I do indeed have Elis Compendium, as I also have Better Settler's, and that mod requires it to use extra features using Eli's stuff, but I didn't know you could craft them as well.

Thanks all.

I don't know what mod you downloaded to get that armor bench you can't craft but, I think I know how you are suppose to get the perk to craft it. It shows in the preview pick for the perk, you need to go get the New copy of Guns and Bullets. Once you find the mod on nexus that added that craftable bench read the description. It will tell you where to go to find the magazine. That is how the mod author has set up the mod for the bench to be craftable.

I have a potted plants mod where the author added a new copy of Picket Fences inside a shed next to vault 111. Once you find the mag you can craft the potted plants. I'm pretty sure that armor bench mod is done the same way.

As a rule of thumb I suggest you bookmark all the mods you download to make it easy to get back to the mods page And to remember which mods you have installed. Plus, Always read the whole description, especially the install and uninstall directions.

Edit; As you know by now that bench with the mannequin is the bench for Armorsmith Extended and there should be an additional weapons bench in your build menu for modded weapons.

Silly Steam, I thought I had made this edit of me figuring it out, to my last post, I guess I removed it.

It is indeed Eli's compendium as mentioned before. It's not a perk at all, it's a schematic. I guess the Vault Boy reading the mag icon is probably the best way to illustrate that:

" You craft new armours at the "Armour Crafting Workbench", new crafting furniture added by the mod. You need to buy schematics from Ellie to get craft the workbench in settlement. There is also a workbench at Ellie's shop."

Glad you sorted it.
