Hey Guys! Huge new update out, please read the Changelog for everything new and everything fixed and check out the screenshots for the new stuff aswell.
The armor is handsome and well worth putting togeater. The weapons... yeah. The entire project is gated behind finding enough ultracite crystals to build stuff. The only places to find these crystals are in the Glowing Sea, specificaly in a cave, Virgil's place, a broken reactor building, and Atom's Crator. Of all of these, only the crator respawns.
One sweep of the Sea nets you 40 or so crystals. The crator repops every few days. So building the armor itself is not too much of a chore. Modifying the weapons and making ammo are another matter entirely.
The ultracite requirements for these things are absurd to the point that it's just not doable. 10 crystals for a PA torso, ok. 15 for a laser pistol reciever? No. And everything else related to the arms are of similar cost. Just not worth it.
Attempting to tweak the values in xedit had no effect whatsoever. Trying to console in enough crystals to make the project worthwhile fell flat; for some reason the game refused to accept they exist. ESP explorer netted ONE crystal.
Get this mod for the armor; leave the guns where they lay.
I managed to find the item id for the ultracite easily enough "help ultracite 4 misc" will do it, just pageup the list till you see "ultracite" and there you go, bob's your uncle
Wound up using the chest hack to create a big pile of crystals. The armor is still worth it, but the guns are, well, crap. Compared to other arms I have access to, anyway.
That being said, if you use Worsin's, and don't mind waiting, you can grab the armor out of Boston Airport and convert it to advanced. No ultracite required. Or ESP Explorer to really cheat the bits in.
from the file description it just lowers the amount of ultracite you need to craft the armor, so just live with the amount needed in the base mod or cheat the remaining amount into your inventory after you think you've gathered a fair amount
though I do think newermind43 needs to upload a fixed .esl as well
Can I still find the armor at the airport if I havewnt joined the Brotherhood? Does the joining trigger the armor spawn or is it always at rthe airport already?
There are also crystals in the cave you find the raider power armor in, south-west of the crashed vertibird, and at the Decayed Reactor Site (to the north-west of the crater of Atom).
I am having a lot of trouble with this mod. Im not very well-versed in modding but so far I installed it but nothing changes from my game. No ultracite, no power armor at the boston airport, nothing. I check MO2 and when I try to reinstall it manually it just says that the mod isnt set up correcting and that i need to correct the directory layout using the content-tree. I dont know exactly how to go about these issues. How can I get this mod to work? Any help is greatly appreciated...
