Oh no, that saddens me. My ninja clan needs that onyx for their lore ; ; Please consider makin it craftable or at least a meitou. I beg of you!

I moved the onyx, rose, and emerald to like just rare luxury drops. also thanks

I made skins that should be as good as meitou, they're just non-existent

Would still love to see this mod get some meitou tier or post-meitou tier grades to make some strong and pretty weapons. The overwhelming majority of post-meitou grades in Kenshi mods just look ugly and lack any metallic materials or cool details, aside from that soul mod though it lags my game out.

This is such a sick mod. I've become a fan of yours. I do have a question though. How many tiers until I get to the Onyx skin?

Having an issue where upon upgrading the damascus smith to lvl 3, all of the recipes disappear, making new one from scratch doesnt fix it either, I can only use the lvl 1/2 smith

If you were asking specifically where, I honestly couldn't remember if I tried. I know where the best ones are, obviously, but I'll let you guys figure it out.

I've made rare skins obtainable by random chance the same way you'd obtain various other skins in the default game, just because I wanted to make it challenging on my mod and stuff. They spawn on various people, in various places, in various boxes and containers, in various stores, etc. If someone wanted to make a mod allowing for quick obtention, I wouldn't be against it, just don't redistribute the textures unless you need to for the mod to actually work.

Where can i find all the unique damascus weapons? Ive only been able to find a couple

thanks

It's a good mod but it makes smithing a bit overwhelming, I can't recommend it to players who just want to make weapons, but if you wanna get nerdy and make a friggin' masterpiece, you first need this masterpiece of a mod

Sorry I'm a little late to the party for this mod, but I have a question. How do I craft the High Class skins? I'm stuck around catun no.2 and feather type

Hey, Reverum, I just got that Hiver Expanded Redux mod complete and now you can get that mod and have skin compatibility between custom weapons, skins, and that mod:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3060822400

Even U *points into the crowd of 2 people*

I'm going to make a hive expanded patch mod that will put the custom skins on custom npcs and add kenshi texture versions of each weapon to the vanilla npcs, this should fix it completely, but for the time being or regardless even you can make a patch removing the manufacturers from any npc you want

Is it possible to remove the Damascus types for other races and NPCs? I wanna try making a patch because I find it weird that it can be applied to the fog men weapons (I use hive expanded and there bone weapons always end up with Damascus type sometimes)

Lol I'm sorry I just removed the rosewood and the other big 3 from crafting lists. I don't really understand what you mean though. Does setting it to 0 mean all of them unlock at once or you go through each skin?
I don't really know what the research is. Testing it is kinda hard for me since you need so much and alot of time to test.

Heyyy, I'm a bit late to the party, and I usually wouldn't pop up like this, but, uh..
I had the same issue with the workbench only making Mid Tier v3 (Rusted). I messed about in the FCS and found out that the Research is meant to be repeatable. Issue is, I never got the option to repeat it.
So I set the Repeats for all research tiers to 0, then set the 'unlock on repeat number x' to 0 for everything, and viola;
I'm now crafting my own Rosewood tier weapons as we speak.

I just thought I'd toss this info here in case anyone comes checking. It's not a total fix, nor is it probably how this was intended, but it unlocked Rosewood, Onyx, Emerald, Mid v3 (Sharpened) and Mid v1. I have absolutely zero clue how to make the Repeat function work properly, so this is a band-aid fix if anything, but at least it's something? It didn't unlock every single type, but it's a lot more than the one.
I guess the Research not letting you repeat it (like regular Weapon Grades do) is the issue?

The white texture is the vanilla color of weapon and it's own sheath when reach edge tier, not a mod. I saw some picture of this mod the katana have black sheath, and i love that sheath (havent see the high tier one yet cause ... u know ... this bug)

Such shame that im not good at modding, so i cant try to fix it, all but guess

Thank for the suggestion, i may have to try other mod in mean time, hope you can some how find a way to fix this

Maybe try to test it out with one weapon, make one katana as "mod weapon", like "damascus katana" which require blueprint to unlock and can be made with normal smith table like other weapon mod of your, it the weapon can be made into higher level, then it mean the weapon work fine and the smith table is the problem

I was updating another mod aand saw that you can change the building group to it's own thing, but i think it's fitting being under weapon smith

thanks for the compliment. I don't know what skin you're talking about with the white texture, there are only 2 basic ones with a white/white-ish sheath, the others are skeleton smith ones, not even craftable.

I don't really know any other mods that have damascus other than hung buddy's mod, and it replaces the vanilla skins into his own. I, with his permission, made a new manufacturer mod that added his skins into the game as standalone ...things

hope this helps and don't forget to check the mod's contents if you're curious on how it works.

the smithing in this game is broken as far as i can tell and it maxes out a skin and won't let you make any more, but I may be doing it wrong.
consult people in the discord: https://discord.com/invite/kenshi

I just changed the level three to take steel bars instead of raw iron

I did not use any smith as a base, they all are on the same thing for some reason, you can check all of my other mods such as the fury, the sun, talonn, and hung buddy mods to see how they are all under the same building option. feel free to experiment on trying to make them come up as a new entry

I added the custom forge because adding it to the vanilla did not work and produced the same effect you are seeing in the first part of your message on the vanilla weapon smith, preventing vanilla or other modded weapon skins from showing up through that forge. Again, even in vanilla it unlocks the last skin and you cannot make any other skins, it's some bug with the game from what I've been told

I think you mess up the forge, that why we stuck at mid type v3 (rusted), normal lv3 weapon smith forge use fabric and steel, while your lv3 forge still use iron plate

Maybe because you use the lv1 forge as base and just change the name, the forge only have it name as lv3, but it not a real lv3. Or maybe you forget to code lv for other "damascus tier" so the game mistake the mid type v3 is the max lv one only

You could remove the custom forge and use the vanilla, it can get a bit clutter tho, or just remove the "damascus tier" and use vanilla tier instead

Im really want to use this mod , it have very nice blade texture, also i want to have the dark sheath instead of white like vanilla cause it fit in with my squad color

If you cant fix the mod, could you suggest some other mod that close to your?

Would absolutely love if this mod got some expansion or update to add a grade or grades that are stronger than meitou. Your textures are gorgeous but in my heavily modded playthrough there is never a mechanical reason to ever research and invest into damascus other than aesthetics. Soul World has such a weapon grade but the mod destroys my performance so I had to sadly drop that mod. Snowii's meitou grade adds one too but I find it kind of ugly to be honest. So any new way for some god of smithing to make beautiful and OP weapons is greatly appreciated!

same here, I guess, I couldn't get past it. It's just some bug with the game, from what I could gather through the discord

Importing doesn't work, to be specific, new weapon grades stop showing up after Mid Type v3 (rusted)

maybe you gotta import? I'll look into it when I'm modding this game again

I have all the qualities researched but they do not show up on any of the new damascus benches

I just did another massive update

that's really great and I'm glad you enjoy it by the way I updated the smithing, you should be able to craft Damascus stuff independently now, through the use of a custom researched workbench

Absolutely love this mod. Looks good on modded weapons and adds way more variety to bandit loot. They also look fantastic

I'm not sure how to set it up sorry

I did research all the Damascus grade but they didn't appear in the Weapon Smith is this some kind of bug? or I need to set it in load order at the buttom?

Would love if these were replacer skins for the Meitou weapons instead of standalone.

well the base game usually has 0 chances to spawn with their base level, i wasn't able to make them less than equal chance of spawning. i could, i guess, but I'd have to fix the crafting bug

Can i request a version of the mod that doesnt add Damascus weapons to as many NPC's, They seem to be to common now, escpecially since alot of super minor NPC use them over ancient weapons now.

honestly I don't know how to fix the smith thing, I tried like 3 different things. All I can ever craft is damascus 5

Hii, i cant forge this katanas with my smith, i dont know why cause i researched all damascus ítems in the investigation table and then the katanas dont appear in the smith list of weapons that i can forge, sorry for my english…

I think they are like that strong, I wouldn't put it past them. edge might be like 2 cut damage and these are around that and luxury breaches that. MAybe idk. like high military is on par with skeleton maybe. I don't remember

Thank you, you're beautiful.

These are beautiful

I absolutely adore damascus steel, man. This was a fantastic idea. You ought to update it to have weapons on par with edge types, that way I can always have a beautiful damascus blade, even in the endgame.

Luv me some worldbuilding
Luv me good art
Luv me some sharp weapons

simple as'

I was thinking of doing that when I first made it bc damn it's really dark, I was kinda waiting for someone to say something about it

can you please make the damascus type 3 brighter? Right now it looks like it was painted in vantablack

thanks

i love those man

Yeah it seems there is some mod conflict, but I cannot pin-point it. I was able to make the Damascus type reappear, but It still crafts as a catun No.1 when try to craft it. I made sure to test it with a normal weapon smithing bench and with my main character capable of crafting MkIII weapons

it adds*

The only mods I think that might conflict could be (maybe) interactive world because it as a wooden tier, or possibly small crafting benches, since it has a small version of the weapon smithing bench. Otherwise, I have no clue why it isnt working

Still unable to craft them

let me know if you can now
