BBgoat's Beastforge

Ever wanted to be an assassin clad in the exoskeleton of a skimmer? A valiant knight hulled in thick boneplate from a beak thing? A hunter wearing the scraps of skin from the last bonewolf it felled? Or simply a maniac with a creepy beaked mask?

Maybe you never wanted to be any of these things... but I do! And that's why I made this mod. You're welcome.

In all seriousness, this is a mod that allows the creation of armour from leftover scraps of animal bodies. It is intended to create more roleplay options and make hunting animals more interesting early in the game, and maybe even later on.

-----------------------------------------

- The addition of new death items "scraps" to beak things, bonedogs, garru, skimmers, leviathans and swamp turtles.

- The utilization of these scraps to research new kinds of armour and create them in new armour benches.

- New armours, created from textures and models of in-game creatures. These are meant to be balanced and fill niches in the early game while remaining weaker than their harder to make counterparts. These armours are meant to blend in with the rest of the world of the vanilla game, while adding new roleplay options. My characters, now walking around in beak thing plate, never felt so imposing.

- Kill some beak things, bonedogs, garru, skimmers, leviathans or swamp turtles.

- Loot the 'scraps' and use them to research the technologies in the new 'beastforge' tab in a level 1 research bench.

- Build the new armour benches from the 'Beast Armour Crafting' building category in the build menu. Do not forget that you can scroll through the different types of benches using the arrows next to the name. You can build the benches both inside and outside, so you can also make armour on the go, like a true hunter.

- Use the 'scraps' from the animals corresponding to the bench type to make your beast armours! The results depend on your character's armour smithing skill. The armour is decent, but is not too valuable to make sure it does not throw the economy out of balance and make the game too easy.

-----------------------------------------


This adds the following features by popular request:

- Very strong end-game leviathan armour. You will need to kill several leviathans to get a full set. Good luck with that!

- Storage barrels in which you can store the animal scraps. This should make it easier to automate the production.

- General small improvements to the meshes over the armours.

- Add-on mod available that adds the armours to the world, so you can encounter NPCs wearing them! https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3292118549

- NCE patch is now available as well: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3300586637

I hope you have fun with this mod! I ultimately made it for myself, but decided to put some more effort in and polish and publish it. This is the first time I ever made a publishable mod for any game, and I know it is not perfect. The meshes, textures and weight painting could definitely be a bit better, but I hope you enjoy it anyways.

Let me know if you are having any trouble with this mod, I will do my best to fix it, as far as my limited experience allows. Also let me know if you are enjoying it! It would mean the world to me.

Finally, tell me if you have any suggestions or want me to add specific animal armours. I have some work in progress designs for goat, bull, gorillo, raptor, and skin spider armour, but they were not good enough yet to put into the mod and would still be a lot of work to implement.
