The blueprint can be bought off any vendor who also sells the blueprint for the Unholy Chest armor, which is most armor stores but it is randomized as to whether or not it shows up. If it's too hard to find, or if you want to add it to research or something, feel free to edit your version of the mod. Those things are easy to change in Kenshi and you should be able to easily customize where and how it shows up.

I can’t find a drawing for crafting or the armor itself, it’s crap and not a mod

Agreed. If some dirtied textures from heavy plate hive armour took place on the plate parts, it'd be perfect.

Three big problems with this mod, the texture is pretty awful, the helmet is ugly, and the fauldrons are part of the leg's rather than the chest armor (which means you can't use the legs with any other chest armor).

other then that, it's pretty solid, just needs a touch up.

Wow! Awesome!

could this armor be add in the research? make it easy instead of running to places to get it

neet saves me time running to far places

It has a chance to be sold in pretty much all places that sell armor. If one shop doesn't have it, try another.

could you make it where its sold anywhere with armor shop?

Sure thing. Feel free.

can i use your helmet asset in my mod please and credit you?

too grey

Thanks for reminding me! I had totally forgotten about that. I went ahead and made an NCE patch and you can find it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2477176482 . Let me know if any of the numbers need tweaking; Kenshi is notoriously fickle about this sort of thing.

I know it's been a while but is there still any hope for a NCE patch?

can NPC's use this?

this is cool stuff and ive been wanting some real full plate armor sets, but the texture seems slightly off and idk if that's just me

I've had a few people request an NCE patch. I'm away at the moment and can't work on the mod just now, but when I'm back around I do plan on making one. It shouldn't take too long - the NCE mod explains the number changes it uses in detail, so I can just make a patch that applies those changes to this armor.

Any hope of getting an NCE pactch? looks great and would love to outfit my guys in this but cut efficiency blows goats.

Feel free, Atlas. I'm glad you like it.

Hey man. I'm the community admin for the Genesis World Overhaul team. Would it be alright to include your mod in the overhaul? If you want message me on discord @ Atlas#8060 to discuss if you would like.

You should really regard this as a quality set. What you did with this is actually very fitting for the artwork style of the game. Some of the textures don't color very well but that's probably quite fixable without using color map mods. Most of all you need to balance the stats better. The cut resistance and efficiency is way too much. Best numbers i've found are 60 for blunt, 70ish for cut resist and you can push around 90 for efficiency without it feeling broken.

Super nice looking though and one of the best armor mods for humans i've found. Most are silly, stupid, and seem to totally ignore the theme of kenshi. So still overall is excellent and actually doesn't give itself enough credit describing the armor as if it was made from junk. Its actually much nicer than most. More armors like this pls.

Can you make a chestplate-only version please?

Looks great! I always love having more armor options out there, love having the ability to pick not just based on stats but looks too. keep up the great work!

I agree. Sadly, it's impossible to just copy the textures of an existing item in a newly-created item like this, so I have to experiment around until I get something that works. Let me know what you think about the new version.

its amazing, but i think the texture should be the same or very similar to the original mercenary plate.

Thanks for all the good feedback! I added some mild weathering to the armor, so now it should blend in a bit more seamlessly into vanilla Kenshi textures. The file size should also now be significantly smaller.

I have not added this armor to mercenaries, though you're certainly welcome to in your own game. I considered doing so, but I've instead decided to make a mod that adds a new faction of mercenaries who use this armor and my other armor mods, which I am currently working on.

the armor looks really nice. just too clean imo. keep up the great work though! ill be checking up on this!

is this armor added to mercenaries?

How is this mod over 500mb?

Just a minor thing but I think that weather protection should be added to the armor pieces. As the vanilla mercenary plate has around a 50% acid protection rating.

thanks

You absolutely may use this mod in your own. Thanks for asking!

Hello May i use this mod in my mod i will give you all credit of course

With these new addition, I can finally force every Holy Nation Mercenaries wear this!

is there any ways you will make a darker version of the armor? like a dark gray? or a brown?

Hi man since you upload quite constant, can you make a helm that look like this:

https://demonssouls.fandom.com/wiki/Fluted_Helmet

seems like this would fit the aesthetic

Hey this looks fantastic, great work dude. I haven't had time to play Kenshi recently but this is definitely going on my next playthrough. I suggest you add screenshots of the in-game armor stats.

Holy molly full set is out, and it gives more style to the armor
It looks amazing as it looks practical, low-key, and gives more protection while still holds that feeling which fits for mercenaries, also set apart mercenaries from those major factions' soldiers
Keep up the good work man, you did an amazing job

Berserk wasn't my inspiration for it, but now that you mention it, I can see it. And I'm glad to hear that frighteningly underfed NPC finally got her day.

All that's left to add is the faction colors, barring any major issues with the existing pieces. I may change the texture for the chainmail chausses - it looks great zoomed in relatively close, but I've noticed that zooming out far enough does some weird things to it. The base game's chainmail compensated for this by having a pretty heavy grey overlay, and I may do something similar.

Thank you all for your support!

I really like the helmet since vanilla helmet that provide full cover don't look so good. It kinda remind me of the armor of the protagonist in Berserk, are there some references in it?

nice work tino! its looking great!

Can't wait till this armor got faction colour map

茉莉上镜了www
This random NPC combating the sample armor dude has been a famous character after one of our tuber did a series.
Also, pretty nice armor dude! Looking forward to further designs!

I know I said I'd do pants but the idea of a helmet really struck me. Pants are next. As usually, let me know how you like the new textures. They're something I plan to continue to fiddle with as needed.

yea man iv been useing the shit outa this mod. i ened pants. maybe remesh the masked helm to match it better? and boots arnt as important iv been useing the leather combat boots from another mod. one critsisem i have is that i cant figure out how to put all merc's in this armor as a defualt lmao. but thank you sincerly for this mod its what iv been needing for my greenlander only games

Use Holy plate textures for this. This ones looks like shit

Definitely make a set with pants/legs, this is a great.

You could always just make a copy of existing boots and tweak their stats and information to go with the chest piece and pants.

Hey, I'm going to make this armor Holy Nation mercenary exclusive if you don't mind.

I've considered doing pants to go with this - chainmail chausses with metal armor plates, maybe? I already crash-coursed 3D modeling to get this working, so I might as well do a little more. I probably won't do boots, though; between samurai boots and plated longboots, there are plenty of good metal stompers in this game already. Also, thanks for all the positive feedback!
