In general, it is necessary to warn all those who downloaded it that all hats with the metal characteristic have penalties to stealth and athletics (the penalty to athletics disappears only at a special grade). All hats made of leather and fabric are not subject to fines.

Where i can find fog mask trader. Waited for 5 days. Not a single one appeared at the shinobi trader.

Has anyone solved the problem with belt hat debuffs? I've looked at several mods and they all have the same problem? Was this from the start or did some game update break everything?

when you equip a hat in the belt it doesnt updates the picture, you must re-equip your hat to see the belt hat

when I equip a belt hat, it doesn't show on my character, is there a mod that conflicts with this or something?

Thank you so much.

I just did some more testing on it, the only stat that can be changed with this method is stealth. The only fix that I can think of for this would be to set all the items to light armor as they have no inherent penalties to athletics in the FCS.

@Arxis241 Interesting. I'll see if the other mod I mentioned has that to achieve that. If not, I'll see if I or someone else can test the method you mention.

The FCS applies penalties to stat values based on the equipment type (chest, leg, boots, helmet, or belt), the armor type (leather, cloth, metal plate, and chain) and the armor level (light, medium, and heavy). Some of the slots (chest, leg, and belt) can have certain penalties removed if the multiplier is set to -1.

You can make small armored face plate at same shop which sell normal variants
Strange, i took stats from existing items and changed their slot - it seems that belt items gave some sort of debuff. I will look into this problem

Good news everyone! Anrhaa's UWE - Belt Slot Hats and Masks mod shows that belt slot items don't have to inherently have item debuffs. I'm not sure how, but Anrhaa says that taking stats straight from items and making them belt slot items works without any sort of debuffs.

If anyone wants to look into FCS we may be able to figure out what's going on and make a mod exactly like this without the debuffs.

Where can i find the small armored face plate?

Could you include Oni Hat in your mod? (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1911678483)

Has anyone looked into editing the stats of the small versions of the headgear added by this mod to give the items vanilla stats? I wanted to ask before I go looking to see if I can fix it myself.

Thanks, now I can give my worker hivers cool shit

Guys, for those who don't like the status of hats (not really, what the fuck 0.25x for an iron hat? Are you fucking there?) then follow the further instructions:

Open the FCS (located in the root folder with the game), then click Open Any (in the upper right corner), and then follow this path: Steam /steamapps / workshop/ content/233860/1388161982/ Hats.mod.

Everything marked in red is an item, and don't touch the rest. Before you change something, I strongly recommend reading the description of the item you want to change. Congratulations, now you can edit item stats for any mods at all.
And the one who came up with the idea to add such huge debuffs to these items - let him suck Treasure Sword.

So, I went ahead and fixed that. Grab it here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=2939779668

Benches do not have the possibility to make most helmets. I looked at the contents of the mod - small copies are simply had not added. Earlier in the comments, the problem of the absence of some helmets in crafting was already mentioned. Apparently this problem has not been solved yet. In "armor plate bench" onle 4 recipies of helmets.

where can i find a smol skeleton mask?

Ah, I should have read the other comments. I see that the negative stats is a known issue. I guess I'll make a personal mod to fix the fog mask too.

I've noticed small Iron hats are 3x the price of normal Iron Hats, and the small fog mask tanks stealth when the normal one doesn't? Stealth effect of .38x??? WHY? Neither of the other two masks have that debuff. Is it to balance the fact that it doesn't need a blueprint to unlock unlike the normal fog mask? The normal fog mask's blueprint is stupid rare. I love the fog mask but I just can't use the small one 'cause i'm playing as a solo ninja right now and I'm not going to sit at the Scraphouse for a month waiting for the blueprint for the normal Fog Mask to randomly spawn.

Also all small hats still have stats from their normal versions - and also belt slot itself affects stats a bit, as it seems

@Anrhaa Thanks for the updated NCE patch, adding it to the description! And thanks to the person who found exact stealth value, i will make a fix!

The small hachigane isn't set up to be worn

Murilo just set the stealth mod to -1 and it removes it for some items. made a personal mod that does just that for the small fog mask.

i've found the value you need to change for the iron hat and the 2 hoods, it's 1.64 for stealth to become 1 as a masterwork

@digitalwild i believe it's not, because i checked the mod files to take the debuffs out and the files say the small hats have no debuffs

I made an updated NCE patch for all the small hats

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2837983757

I ran a new game with only this mod enabled and all of the small hats still have the stat effects

like an Iron Hat Small has stealth effect 0.47x and athletics effect 0.94x

All small hats negatively affect stats like athletics and stealth, is this intended?

I noticed people seem to be having an issue with small faceplates and I wanted to add: I would recommend using normal faceplates in your combos because the small versions of every other hat appear to be unbugged in terms of stats/price/blueprints.

This mod is great though and pretty much executed perfectly. Don't let a tiny hiccup with small faceplates stop you from using it.

BUG INFO:: I have small faceplates in my game but they are 5k cats at standard grade and effect the stealth stat by x0.46. This is the only mod I use that adds or changes any equipment. There's a chance something else i run is "touching" the same info (somehow) so I will run a test sometime using only the small hats mod and we'll see if that fixes anything.

The Armored Face Plates can't be made and/or doesn't have a blueprint. Can you add it? I want my characters to have a certain look and I can't craft them. They're available in shops, but not in Research or Blueprint, from what I've seen.

Foken amazing

The small face plates seems to be missing. But great mod otherwise :)

Makes the god-tier armored face plate/iron hat combo possible. Instant sub.

I kept going "why can't I use any of these" and trying to equip them in the hat slot
Should've read the description better

I have not seen one yet after visiting multiple armor merchants are they just rare?

Did i miss face plates? i thought i did not. Also in some time going to make updated NCE patch, because patch author does not respond

would love face plates added great mod mate

I can't seem to find armored face plates, in any of the crafting stations I've got the research done and I see the other items. Am I missing something?

Its a bug, i tried fixing it but it seems like belt slot itself does something to the item

ok.... why small iron hats decrease my athletics??

Sounds perfect, thank you!

Yes, it just copies every standart item and makes it small. Made this way to make a mod super-compatible. If vanilla item uses a reference to some texture - items from this mod use it too

Hey, I read all the comments, but just to be clear, does this provide belt slot versions of ALL headgear (hats, masks, and goggles)? So I could mix and match normal hat + small goggles/mask, or normal goggles/mask + small hat? Seems like this would offer the maximum compatibility with being able to wear these small items with items from other mods, and that's what I'm looking for, so just want to be sure.

Next, do the belt slot versions use the same exact texture files, so if I have a custom texture on a normal item, it would also apply to the small version?

And last, same with colormaps, are the small items as "paintable" as the normal size ones? These last two questions relate to Faction Armor Colors: Better Colormaps https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1831219811 which both increases color application to armor and retextures the iron hat.

Thanks for what looks like an awesome mod, the questions are just so I can know exactly what to expect when I test it out.

you dont need blueprints - there is a tech after vanilla hat crafting research

Is there a way to get the blueprints to make these?

Okay, so i added ALL missing hats in their smaller variant(didnt change any of the stats), also distributed them among vendor lists. Enjoy:D

I forgot to add faceplates? Oh god, gotta add them.
