  Better Factories 


Requires Contraptions Workshop(Obviously), Nuka World and Far Harbor.
This mod adds new recipes for you to build with the Contraption Workshop DLC. It also includes two new factories to produce various items that were not available before, including a power armor forge where you can make power armor pieces and even a frame, for the right price and with proper skill of course. 


How does the power armor crafting work?
A power armor frame can be crafted at one of the new factories called a "Power armor forge".

With the Science 4 perk, and the Armorer 4 perk you can craft a "Power armor frame build kit". With this item you can use the workshop to place a power armor frame in your settlement.

DO NOT scrap your frame if it has armor pieces on it.
You will lose the armor pieces. Until I can figure out how to just disable scrapping for a workbench item I cannot really do anything about it. Just treat it as if it were a normal frame as before.

New pieces of armor can be crafted at the new "Power Armor Forge" provided that you have the necessary perk requirements. The first terminal page will allow you to select which armor you would like to craft, T-45 etc. This will then bring you to a new page that will allow you to select the exact piece you would like to make, such as a Left Arm or Right Leg.

Troubleshooting
Before you go to report a bug make sure that you have the required perks to produce an item. A detailed list is below.

Incompatibilities

-This can include any mod that edits the Contraptions DLC factories, this means mods such as Manufacturing extended will not be compatible.
This mod attempts to have a similar function anyway so you shouldn't have both installed.


What has changed?
- Below is a detailed list of all the new items to craft, as well as what perks they require. Detailed recipes can be found in game on a terminal that is connected to the appropriate forge.
