Been a while since I played Kenshi, but I'm pretty sure it goes after, so it overwrites the original.

Do i need to put this mod above or below the original one? thanks

Well, that's how the original armor was, so I just left it that way.
But I agree with your critic, that a glove or backhand plate would be fitting. Alas, I'm no longer modding Kenshi, so if you want to see this, you'll have to do it yourself.
This is an altered version of someone else's work, so you have my permission to use my edits as a baseline, and then you just get permission from the original author and you're good to go.
Should be pretty easy to do backhand plate. If I were you, I'd copy an existing part of the mesh, that's already UV mapped, and just resize it and place it over the back of the hand. Making a glove would be a bit tedious, perhaps you can use a glove from someone else's work, and just remap the UVs.

Just a question, please don't feel like this is a criticism or a demand, but why did you choose to leave the hands of the armor exposed? I always feel weird taking a Gusoku-wearing character to the Ashlands cause their hands are just Out There in all the dust and Gas and Acid

nope, it doesn't work. also the uwe dominion faction has different color. it was kinda blue, like this steam color background..and this one is black..

idk, but probably. It's a mesh change only, if I remember right (it's been a while).
If it isn't compatible, for whatever outlandish reason, it will be immediately evident, and safe to remove, even if you save your game with this mod. So, no risk. Just give it a whirl, and if it works, plz, come let everyone else know, to save them from having to ask.

is this compatible with uwe? the dominion faction

Hello, where can I craft it? I have it researched but it wont show in my list of items i can smith, please help

works well with just the genesis mod.

Do you have another mod that includes the original version of this mod?
Did you make sure this mod is lower in the load order, so it overwrites the original?
Did you make sure this mod is turned on?

I have both this and the OG mod, but The armors I craft, still look exactly like the OG mod version.. Any advice? thanks in advance :)

This mod only affects the mesh(3d model), not the texture(color and such)

Is there more colours?

the less bulky version in project genesis didn't work when i just had genesis as soon as i activated this mod it worked

I don't know, I don't run Project Genesis. Ask them.

Does this work if you are using the version included in "project genesis"? Thank you :)

front plate juts out if your female characters breasts are to big. otherwise its pretty good improvement

You can open up Photoshop or GIMP (Free software) and use a filter to saturate the texture yourself.
This mod only modifies the mesh geometry. The texture was untouched.

anyway to make the colors a bit more saturated? they look a bit bland to me.

Hey there fellow chaderino!

i thought the original was too bulky as soon as i made it. then I found this... Space_Lettuce_OG... wait, i know this motherfucker from chad too. small world

alright i will lol

@Yonderbee

Hey there fellow Chaderino! Say hi next time you see me

aye i know you you watch robbaz streams @Space_Lettuce_OG its yonderbee i dont think you remember me

Pretty sure the original was mapped incorrectly, like it wasnt supposed to be THAT fucking bulky, but this fixes it perfectly, so thank you!

What is the mode of purple hair in the second picture

Thanks! That armor was fucking huge lol

@Grim Reaper Because the set from the original mod didn't scale well with bulky characters, so it looked ridiculous, with plates floating in the air and clipping issues.

@pooKIE991

Yes, it is just a model change.It doesn't change anything with the armor (As a game object) or it's research. It does require the original mod, as that is where everything else pertaining to the armor comes from.

LESS BULKY?!!?
WHY WOULD I EVER WANT THIS?!?!

a great mod all round! though the armor itself just doesn't like big characters to begin with, it goes from like.. this intimidating samurai armor like none other to a bunch of plates that strain to protect the user.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying it :)

now my attack group wont look like walking mad max refigerators walking around hooray

Yes finally! This is the only reason I disliked the first version. This is perfect

I can now really appreciate the aesthetics of the armor since the bulky version made it look like you were wrapped into a metal burrito, thank you and the author for making such fix. Cheers to the Kenshi Modding community!

Great!

I made some more major adjustments. This should be the final version, cuz I've already spent way more of my free time on this than I intended. Now, I just want to play the game.

I removed the shirt from the male armor, cuz it was just being too finicky still with certain body slider values. No heavy armors in vanilla have a shirt anyways, so it fits in just fine. Most characters have a shirt or chainmail underneath anyways.

I also moved the secondary knee-plate over the thigh cuz it made more sense to protect the front of the thigh, than have super protected knees.

Also some other stuff.

Screenshots updated to reflect changes.

thank you sso much!

I did make some additional changes like bringing the plates on the groin and butt area out a bit more on both the female and male mesh. The screenshots are older than that, but tbh, like I said, I made this for personal use, so I just don't care to update them, sorry. LOL

@Grabbles

Well, I tried to get the weight painting to work with the L Boob and R Boob, but I just couldn't do it easily, and I tried for about an hour. An hour of work is more than I cared to give to try and make the armor work for very small breasted women.

In my testing if the breast slider is at about 25% or higher, it looks just fine. So, for the majority of users, it'll be just fine.

Also, if you didn't already know, you can take Seto to a plastic surgeon, and edit her body mesh, just like any other character.

5 stars.

sleep tight sweet prince

Hmmm, I'll look at making some adjustments for females that have small breasts tomorrow.
I'm tired, I had surgery and anesthesia yesterday, and muscle relaxers today, so I'm just out of it, and I'm going to bed for now.

Seto's armor acts like she has big breasts even tho she is a part of the itty bitty titty committee
