Here you go, I am having the mentioned problem. if you need my mod list let me know

Hey Mr Wibble, I went and added an updated save in that same link, in addition to a list of the recipes that are missing color options. I spent some time collecting all of the recipes to test which ones are there and which arent.

From what I can tell, with a lot of the recipes I found after the search is that I would have the recipe purchased but the color option wouldn't show up. Later on though I would find the same recipe in a shop saying I hadn't learned it (even though I could craft the uncolored version fine). Buying the second one seemed to fix it for a good amount of items. (From memory the armored faceplates are an example of one that did this)

I don't know much about mods or coding and what not but it seems like the game is creating duplicate recipes in the stores and if you purchase the wrong one, it leaves you without the color option.

In the save I have a character (Bet) at the great library if you want to search for more recipes to test for the ones I am missing, otherwise Hobbs and Tre are the fastest characters I have if you need to travel.

Obviously you don't have to do anything about this, just an inconvenience more than anything having to find both recipes, figured I'd do my part to help though.

Cheers for this, but I think you're hitting the same problem a number of people have hit and I'm not sure how to solve it. The main problem is how the research for armour is done in the base game. Everything else has a research/blueprint entry that can be found in shops, but armour blueprints are a separate shop entry with no research link.

The first thing I did with the mod was create the research entries and replace all of the armour blueprints in the shop list. This sorted out the research requirements, as the original mod just gave you a bunch of coloured armour without knowing how to make the vanilla version. Then more items were added to the game, plus more shops.

What's happened to some people, I'm guessing you included, is that they will have learnt to craft the item from the armour blueprint, so the coloured research can never be unlocked. I added some text to the research I created, so I could try to keep track of it, but I'm at a bit of a standstill. The only way I've been able to sort it 100% is importing with research reset, but that's a crap solution and is too destructive for people with a lot of time invested in saves.

I cant seem to get any of the coloured armours to show up. Ive tried importing and resetting research, and then doing them in different orders but nothings working. i seem to be able to get all leather options working, just not heavy armors

I have seen an issue in justincase's save file where the armour dying is set as "paid" not "finished", but I'm not sure of a nice way around it yet.
