no it's not just you. Structures + doesn't accept it. Can only use the vanilla fabricators if you want to make the armor.

I was wondering why dragonplate is showing up for me as just riot gear? Is it also because of S+ mod?

no that's just because he hasn't had time to fiddle with cosmetic changes right now.

Crazienous has stated this before but as a modder he/she isn't familiar with making models for armor and such things. The best they can do is modify the look of what is already in the game, example being the Dragon Forge and the Dragons themselves. If you expect to see a different model for the DragonPlate armor you need to expect the mod developer to get someone with experience and know how in adding NEW content to the game through the mod.

That my friends means someone who knows how to create 3d models and knows how to texture said models as well.

Don't expect something from the preview images, the small images of what the armor, weapons or blocks are suppose to look like in game to show up and have a model ingame and then try to blame it not showing up due to another mod. It's been stated in the Gdoc that the current model for quite a few things are 'placeholders'.

I wasn't blaming anything or anyone, I was confused and posted this question several times trying to find an answer. I wasn't aware this modder didn't have 3d models for the items they created. There is no search function to easily go through all posts and find out if this has been discussed before. Asking questions is perfectly fine, so don't talk down to those of us that do... :/
