needs moar detail. It looks like you are going the 30k route, so perhaps make different tech levels of pre heresy power armor?

Also the shoulder pads look wonky, and so does the leg armor at the feet. Will put more time in and give a better feedback response.

Other than that thanks for making this mod. Kenshi needs a good 40k mod. it just fits too well. I do not envy the task of modeling power armor, my understanding is that the design is weird and would not work well in a realistic setting, and kenshi goes for realism...

Is it possible to replace sound files? right now the armor makes the heavy armor clanking noise, but is it possible to add a new sound file for it, that sounds more mechanical? like "dunk dunk dunk" each time they walk?

Definitely agree that it needs more detail, and I also am working on a new chest model that adjusts the shoulder pads and so far it seems to look better in game without a proper texture. As for the leg armor does it seem a bit too wide down around the feet?

I'm not sure about the sounds, I actually haven't looked into that but now that you mentioned it I'll have to look into it and see what I can do!

Thank you for the feedback!

I think the issue with the leg armor may have been associated with the characters bulk. I will take a screenshot later.The bottom part around the shins needs some tweeking, where the gyro stabalizers are supposed to be. It may just be me, or the angle i am looking at too. I always thought that was a weird detail with the armor, until i saw that it actually has a purpose...

Hmm, I’ll take a look at that area and see if I can fix the awkwardness that comes with the bulk and look into the gyros!

Unfortunately from what I can find is that sounds are tied to the material type ie. leather,cloth,metal and there doesn't seem to be a way to edit within the fcs

hmmmmm.....

What if they were made on a different bench? one that used robotics components instead of plates like in vampire teddygrahm's version? Would it be possible to change the material class used for sound then?

I have been thinking about the crafting issue. so far my attempts to make a ui mod with sort functions for crafting have failed. So the main work around for a lot of issues that i see modders doing is a new work bench. This solves a lot of problems: Kenshi Ghoul is able to add new grades of weapon while bypassing the hardcoded cap in game. the main down side is a cluttered base, but that is not too big of an issue.

I bring it up, because if you are like me and have a ton of mods, then you have a ton of things to make at a work bench, and it takes 15 minutes to scroll around and find what you want to craft. With a dedicated power armor bench, you can have multiple styles of power armor, and not clutter up the other benches.

For insane detail, you could even split up and make a seperate bench for helmets, so that you have a buttload of styles with other features and bonuses.

I also owe a screen shot of armor. One thing i forgot that may affect this is that i maxed out the frame and height of each character. that will distort things....

I actually did try making a new bench just to tweak what it took to craft each item and didn’t have any luck but that could just be my inexperience but now that you’ve given me the idea about it cluttering up inventory I’ll have to add it in just for that reason. And I’ll keep looking and asking to see if i can find a way to add in custom armor sounds because it’d be pretty cool to add in the sounds from say deathwing terminators

I’ll roll the custom crafting bench out when I’m done with the new texture for the chest armor

New armor models look good, and they seem to fit well. i am currently making some around the base screenshots.

Awesome to hear, glad the new model is pleasing!
