Are you disappointed that Bethesda left out weapons, armor and item crafting from Fallout 4 when they’ve had it in previous games? Tired of using the chemistry station for all your crafting mods? Or do you just need easy access to said stuff to kit out yourself and your settlers, or perhaps to decorate your settlement? Then this mod is for you!
Description
This mod adds three workbenches you can place in your settlement from the settlement mode, with models and animations like the vanilla workbenches, that allows crafting instead of weapons or armor customization. At these workbenches you are able to craft melee and ranged weapons, ammo, armor and power armor of all kinds, clothing, outfits, helmets, glasses, masks as well as bobby pins and other miscellaneous items. Other than that they look and sound like they usual, with settlers interacting with them as well.
This mod is a work in progress, but fully usable!
FEATURE OVERVIEW
* Workbenches you can craft items at. No more weapons crafting at the chemistry station!
* Craftable items of almost every kind, with more to come. Give me a tip in the comments for things you miss!
* Sorted categories for all craftables, unique to each workbench and area of crafting.
* Working item previews for the items.
PLANNED FEATURES
* Proper components and parts for the craftable items.
* Proper perk requirements for crafting advanced items.
* Desired misc/junk items for players to decorate their settlements. Leave a comment if you know any good ones!
* Modular structure, with installation options for a more selected and realistic array of items to craft (no power armor, fatmen and unique faction clothing etc.).
* Unique textures (perhaps models as well). This may take some time, since I am not the best texture modder.
* Even better category sorting.
HOPEFULLY DOABLE FEATURES (hard without the GECK)
* Prevent items from being created with random mods/make it craft the exact version of an item you want.
* Create custom and more explanatory names for items with obscure names. For now the displayed name isn’t possible to change, but they are usually good.
For a full list of all the items that can be made at the workbenches, see the “Craftable items” section below.
For now they all cost 1 steel which makes the current version quite the cheat mod, but it’s great if you just want to outfit your settlers, decorate your settlement or just want to make things!
A problem you may be familiar with from other crafting mods (or adding items through console) is that there is currently no way to get exactly the version of some items you want, so you may have to mod your items afterwards to your liking. Still much better than console!
How to use the mod
First of all, make sure the mod is installed and the esp is active.
1. Go to one of your settlements and open up the workshop mode. You’ll find the workbenches in the Crafting category.
They are named “Crafting Workbench – Weapons”, “Crafting Workbench – Armor” and “Crafting Workbench – Clothing and Misc”.
2. Place the workbenches and start crafting!
Installation
Make sure you have made all the necessary configurations to enable mods in Fallout 4.
If you haven’t, check out this guide to learn how: FALLOUT 4 – Enabling Modding for PC by Gopher.
With Nexus Mod Manager (NMM):
1. Download the ESP with the manager.
2. Activate the mod in Nexus Mod Manager and finish the installation process.
Manual installation:
1. Manually download the mod.
2. Open the zip using a file archiver.
3. Extract all files into the Data folder of your Fallout 4 installation.
4. Open plugins.txt (located in C:\Users\(username\AppData\Fallout4) and add the name of the ESP to the list.
Uninstallation
With Nexus Mod Manager (NMM):
1. Deactivate the mod by double-clicking it.
2. Mark the deactivated mod and delete it.
Manual uninstallation:
1. Remove all files associated with the mod from your Data folder.
2. Remove the name of the ESP from plugins.txt.
Incompatibility
Shouldn’t be any. All the workbenches, recipes, categories and craftables are made for the mod and doesn’t override anything. It’s even compatible with other crafting mods such as Craftable Ammo or Craftable Weapons, if you for some reason would like to use both them and this mod.
Known issues
• When you create weapons and armor you don’t always get the plain item stated in the menu. They may have mods attached or be one of the alternative models for the item (such as Sturdy/Heavy for leather armor). This is because of a limitation in the items FormIDs (made by Bethesda) and probably can’t be fixed without the GECK.
• Some items have weird, short names that don’t explain the item fully (for example, Pipe Pistols and Pipe Rifles are just named “Pipe”). It isn’t yet possible to edit the names shown in the menu, atleast not with the tools I’ve used. This shouldn’t be a major problem however.
• From my testing, crafting legendary items or items that give the “special item” pop-up view (such as the Shishkebab sadly), are not really meant to be created. They have a tendancy to make the game crash if when you leave the view. I’ve removed them since a solution has been found.
