Armory Workshop

Description


Adds a new workshop for your Dwarves to craft sets of armor and encrust them with the various gems that you find as you dig down.

This allows you to quickly craft new sets of armor instead of adding in multiple workorders OR manually assigning new tasks for creating new sets.

Dwarves can also use the workstations to improve armor sets, studding and encrusting various precious (or not so precious) gems and gives you a use for large cut gems, rather then having them clutter your workshops while you wait for the next trader to offer a measly few coins for an otherwise impressive find; Cheap bastards.

Workorders through this shop will not save you any metal bars, but the non-magma version will use less coke than crafting each piece individually. Further, using the shop will give a small experience boost in Armor Smithing. Encrusting armor sets will give a small amount of experience in Armor Smithing and a small experience boost in Gem Setting on top of the normal experience that would otherwise be gained.

Each Armory workshop requires: 2 iron bars, 2 anvils, 2 weapon racks and 2 armor stands to build.

-Caveats-
===============================================================
* Due to a current issue with adding custom reactions, gauntlets are not available in the set; If they were, your dwarves will refuse to wear them.
* Armor sets cannot be given a set size; They will be fitted only for Dwarven bodies
* Large gems will always be encrusted in the breastplate of an armor set
* 'Perfect Gems' AKA legendary gems that are crafted through strange moods CAN be used but they will be encrusted onto the breast plate and the artifact status should transfer to the breastplate rather than losing an artifact.


Update 1.0.7
===============================================================
* No longer requires iron bars to build, can use any magma-safe bars to construct now
* Added fix that should prevent the workshop from causing a game crash when clicking on "All" when selecting materials for building
* Added areas which block movement, should prevent Dwarves in combat from dodging down the magma hole to their deaths. Areas marked with an "X" block movement in this new update.

Still doesn't appear in build menu, but no other Workshop mods do either. Was really into this and the Poisoners shops so that sucks. I tried loading them last and still nothing.

Anyone finding this and other workshop additions not showing up. Do you have better instruments installed? There seems to be a conflict there.

this doesn't seem to show up in my world as an option to build.

It seems that the gauntlets are not part of the Armor Set in the armory.

But it really is a great mod thanks

@MSD the issues with your boots are caused by the boots not having the [SHAPED] tag on them, leading dwarves to try and wear them with shoes. only 1 item with that tag can be worn at a time, but since the boots don't have the tag this doesnt apply to them, and the dwarf attempts to wear them on top of his shoes, instead of taking the shoes off before putting the boots on. Because they take up the same space this doesnt work and so urist just walks around in normal shoes. There are mods that add the shaped tag to boots as well as gauntlet, as they have a similar issue with mittens and gloves.
