Does anyone use Armorsmith Extended?

[Saven]

Does it come with it's own custom workbench? Or do I have to download it seperately?

[Astasia]

It comes with it's own workbench, you don't need any extra downloads.

Read the instruction on the nexus site, it tells you exactly what you need.

[Saven]

Where's the workbench located?

You craft it in any settlement. If I remember right it has a few, armor/weapons/clothes/junk. They are added to the settlement workshop and you place them. They tend to avoid placing items inworld as editing cells can cause the cell reset bug, which causing power armor frame to reset and containers to reset.

[Saven]

Hmm, I wonder what it's called because I don't see it under Crafting.

[Astasia]

It looks like a normal armor workshop, I think it's the "Armorsmithing Station" but you just have notice it's the one that doesn't have a perk requirement to build.

[Keith V. Smith]

you have armor keywords installed right?

[Keith V. Smith]

I think Armor Keywords is what adds the benches, Armorsmith extended requires it.

[Saven]

Armor Keywords Community Resource? Yes, I just checked in my ModOrganizer. Sooo weird.

[Keith V. Smith]

Okay, so it should be under crafting in the menu for editing the settlement, aka hold "V" I'll post a screen shot.

It's possible you have hit the workshop recipe cap. The game can normally only display so many recipes when you go into workshop mode, and mods like Homemaker and SSEX when combined will pretty much push you over that limit right there. Once you hit the cap new recipes aren't shown. There's a workaround, a system called settlement keywords which changes how recipes are shown, you install that and compatibility patches to hook mods like Homemaker and SSEX into it and it frees up your normal recipe slots, I believe. I haven't actually used it, I only have Homemaker and a couple other small mods that add recipes, so I haven't had any issues yet.

Good point, the same reason why Armor keywords was made to handle the issue with the chemstation and cooking station that people were using before. I have Homemaker installed, not SSEX though, so it show up for me.

I think I figured it out. I downloaded the optional file, Armorsmith Calyps Extended v2.5 (1.2.8minis - 1.0.6b), as well. I wanted to add some harness armor as well to my Armorsmith but it ended up just installing over the whole thing and the ArmorSmith Extended ESP(?) was gone completely and replaced with only the Compatibility Patch.
