Changelogs

Version 1.3.3
- fixed my mod causing wooden sandals texture to bug out
- Just to clarify, I didn't accidentally modify or overwrite anything. This happened because ONE FILE in my mod happened to share the same file name as one in the base game. For whatever reason, this caused my texture to apply to the wooden sandals because it shared the same file name as the ninja sandals. DESPITE my file having an entirely different file path. (???)

Version 1.0.0
- Initial Release

It always bothered me that the inhabitants of Kenshi don't like protecting their stomach. And why doesn't the Holy Nation have armor with decent arm coverage? So, I made this mod to fix that and increase variety.

This mod is also available on the workshop, check the mirrors tab above!

Features

New Items: 13 head armors, 37 chest armors, 13 leg armors, 9 boot armors, and 4 bags.
Buy & Craft: All items can be bought and crafted.
Distribution: Armor is distributed across NPCs and shops according to their vanilla counterparts (e.g., My samurai armor where samurai gear is sold).

For more details on what's added and where to find them, refer to the Google sheet - a complete list of every item in the mod!

Installation

Download and extract the mod zip into Kenshi’s mods folder.

Known issues

Gusoku armor has a weird transparent texture bug. It's only noticeable very close up. I don't know the cause yet.
Reinforced armored rags has an icon bug similar to crab armor

Optional Files

Spoiler:

Show

Skeleton clipping fix: The optional file for this mod patches armors Tsume (Talon, MK1, MK2) and the Heavy Plate Jacket. Mainly fixes MINOR clipping for the default skeleton and soldierbot. Due to FCS limitations, this will affect all races wearing the armor. A better "catchall" clipping fix is Resized Skeletons, but I can see why some would prefer the above mod.

NCE Patch: Patch for the mod No Cut Efficiency.

EVA Test Start: Simple start I use for testing things. Though it'd be useful to include if you want a quick preview of every item.
