Steel Legion Armoury

Ive been working on this mod for my latest playthrough and while I havnt added everything I want to yet there is still enough to share.

What this mod adds;

Steel Legion Chest Armour - Its a mix of Mercinary Plate and Armoured Rags, This version is 'Painted' as its ment for the main female character in my current playthrough. The male version is working fine and is slightly different. - This is fairly strong armour intended to be viable late game.

Steel Legion Plated Pants - Also the 'painted' version intended for my main character this leg armour is a retextured version of plated drifter pants. Upgraded to Heavy Armour and adds 50 acid protection its competative with other end game gear.

Steel Legion Under Armour - Added to complete the look and add good blunt resist+50 acid protection, fairly trash vs slashing.

Fixed the female robot helm - Just added a female version of the helm mesh that sits correctly. Kenshi only had the male version for both.

Steel Legion start - start with a decent (20's) charcter in specialist Steel Legion Armour and a catun Guardless Katana. Also 4 level 1 toons to do the grunt work.

All Armours are made at the plate armour table, blueprints added to one of the merchants. I forgot which one. ;P

-Update 1- 30/09/21

After playing for ten minutes I decided the painted texture was not my liking - so I retextured in RUST, trying to match in to the MkI colors.

-Added MkI variant armour - prototype, may change (Ill add more plates)
-Added Rusty Steel Legion Armour and Pants. Blueprints at Mongrel Armour Shop.
-Left in 'painted' Variants for now.. I'll probably update the texture on it later.

-Update 2- (for 30/09/21)

-Finished and added first helm, only boots left to complete the armour set.
-Added new rusted gear blueprints to mongrel Armour Vendor
-Updated Steel legion start to start with all new gear

-Update 3- 2/10/21

-Re-textured the painted plate -- I like this version much better
-Added a new mesh for the male varient of Rusted Pants.
-Added a new model and texture for the MkI Steel Legion Armour. (this is for seketons using the MkI body because other armors clip horribly on them)

-Update 4 -
- Re-worked the MkI Armour, new mesh and texture, I just didnt like the old one :)
- Added icons to stop any 'old' icons from displaying the armour incorrectly in inventory.

-Update 5 3/10/21 -
Seems the custom icons are not working for everyone so I turned them off, the items will now auto generate an icon, if they dont, you can fix it by going into kenshi/data/icons, search 'Steel" then delete the icons that apear. next time you play they will re-generate as they are supposed to.

-Amended Update 5- I think I solved the problem (icons folder in the mod wasnt lower case 'i'), the custom icons are back in and seem to be working as intended. let me know if they are still an issue.

-Update 6- 7/10/21

-Added Steel Legion Heavy Plate. Kept the arm guards, the rest is entirely custom model.
-Re-balanced Steel legion armours, Heavy plate has the same defence as previous plate(with some draw backs), quality on old plate armours reduced by 5, quality on under armour reduced by 10, acid resist no longer 100% (only 60, 30 on under armour, 30 on plate pants) -- may change

--Notes on last update--
-may have to power down armour more, way too strong at max tier,
-Turns out the Heavy Armour mesh I added fits almost perfectly on the MkI model with minimal clipping. I feel a bit silly for making the MkI frame armour now XD. But I did use the chest plate from it so not entirely a waste.

-Update 7- 7/10/21-

Could not help myself, re-modeled the MkI armour using the some of the Heavy Armour parts, Looks great, I love it, time well spent. :)
-Also added a custom screamer sub race that uses my textures for its face plate.

-Update 8- 7/10/21-
-Rebalanced Merc plate to bring them more into line with Kenshi armours. (Honestly I dont notice the difference in my play through)
-Added 'Painted' MkI Amour. I went with Hotrod flames because I just recruited Burn.

-Update 9- 8/10/21

Added Skeleton Bandit Heavy Armour and Full Body Under Armour. I'll add these to Skeleton Bandits in a faction Mod. These are avaliable at Armour King for sale or blueprints.

-Update- 9/10/21-
Added Elite Steel Legion Plate and MkI Armour Frame, Not rusted at all.
The Under armour has been extended from shirt to wet suit level coverage. Acid resist on it increased to 80.

-Update 10 -

Added Elite plate Leg Harness. Re-modled and Re-textured the Elite plate a bit so it looks more 'refined'.

Update 11 - 11/10/21

Added the Elite Armour Helm.

What I plan to add;

Lots. Im thinking of doing a full set in that plastic white metal kenshi seems to have and then add them to the skeleton bandits. Adding stuff to a faction will have to be another mod tho.
