It could maybe have to do with the armor material or class. It's been so long that I've largely forgotten the nuances of Kenshi's armor system but if I remember correctly certain armor types are predisposed to be less stealthy. It's possible that if you told the game that it was made out of cloth or leather the issue could disappear. Again, it's been a long time and i may not be remembering this correctly.

I have only ever found the fog mask and swamp mask. And I have found everything up to high level in terms of quality. The swamp mask has identical stats to the vanilla/standard variants, giving a 1.1 buff to stealth no matter the quality.

The fog mask gives a serious penalty to stealth that does vary depending on quality, but is always negative. It's standard/vanilla counterpart offers no buff or debuff. I haven't found the other mask yet.

I tried messing with it in FCS and nothing I did would remove the stealth stat from the mask. Best I could do was make it a buff of 2 to mostly negate it, but it still varied depending on quality... What was weird was the swamp mask keeps a flat 1.1. Doesn't matter if it is prototype or high grade. I couldn't even get the fog mask to do that...

Also, just so it's said, I appreciate the mod and the time you put into making it. The issue is a minor inconvenience, at most, and I didn't realize this was a 4 year old mod. Thank you for the mod.

BTW, what quality of mask did you get? Gives me a better idea of your situation.

It just depends on what slot something is in. The belt slot has a higher "weight" when it comes to negative effects than the head slot does. This also means that quality has a higher impact on stealth and athletics(which the masks don't change really.) I'd try and fix it but I don't currently have the game installed.

I am curious why you made the fog mask negatively effect stealth so much? As far as I can tell it didn't boost or hinder stealth in vanilla. Not throwing shade, just wondering.

Thank you

If I remember correctly, you can change the model used in a single click of a button. It may be possible to have no model at all, which could be one way. Alternatively, you might be able to scale the items down to nothing so they don't appear.

I'd like to use this mod, but not have the gasmask show up on my character (aesthetic's and all), could you tell me what settings I need to edit in FCS?

Awesome. Better solution than I was looking for, love it. Thank you. Now to go run across the world to find one...Paladins are gonna pay a steep price if they try to stop me at the Shield!

Yes, the mod adds completely new items that in no way alter or replace the existing masks.

So I understand, I would have to acquire a special mask to do this, it doesn't alter the masks I have? Just for clarity, this solves my quest for a "heavy" fog mask!

dude ive got more hours in the FCS than you even have on the game all together. i know what im talking about. trader restock doesnt work how you think it does, its based off of a set schedule which varies from store to store, not arbitrarily reset when mods are added or taken away. even if it was my mod somehow making traders undergo mitosis (which its not) all you would need to do is import your save.

Of course yes. When uninstall your mod, and restore backup savegame, just download other mod for this same, gasmasks and googles works better ;)

Don't tell me I don't know what I'm saying. I modified a lot of games, even Stalker Anomaly with over 70actively mods. When u make one mistake, the game crashed.

The problem of your mod is that it after installing it immediately refreshes the offers that the trader has. This is what causes a glitch such as merchant's clone.

I finished the discussion there.

You just described a duplication glitch, you do that with any other mod that deals with traders the same thing happens. This is not unique to just my mod.

Yeah toxic basic modder. I checked it. Just go into "Tech Hunters" (Flats Lagoon) before install mod. when u come, go near any trader. Save game. Now exit game and install mod. Load save, steal something, again save and load (tadammm! doubled traders) ;)

This mod doesn't add traders of any kind to any location, it only modifies existing item lists in order for the items to appear in the world. I can guarantee with 100% certainty that the game either duplicated items and traders and you should just import your save, or another mod did it. If you had any brains in that empty skull of yours, you would have added my mod to fcs to confirm before writing you dumb comment.

Pretty much. If by any chance a modded shop uses the same merchandise list they will also appear there. The thing is, you can craft them at a higher level than they can be found usually.

So you can only find these masks in Tech Hunter shops and that's it?

Dope

Unfortunately, you can only have one armour item equipped per item slot. As far as I can tell this is hard coded into the game and can't be changed in FCS. You can see this if you try to put on two pairs of glasses or wear multiple lanterns for the normal Kenshi armor.
As for your thoughts on a store for masterworks, I may be able to get something for that.

You should add a place that sells masterwork variants and if possible shrink the size further so u can have a lantern equiped aswell

Yes, ashlander stormgoggles and square goggles work in the belt slot.

Does this work with goggles also?
