    Clothing keywords info
    For people that care to learn something from my findings. This is what it all started with, finding out what everything does.

    DogmeatNoVisualsOnRetrieve
    Objects dogmeat can retrieve, but will not appear in his mouth.
    ma_armor_lining
    Does nothing unless a mod uses it for something. Mostly removed in Meliora. Doesn't really matter if it's present.
    ma_armor_Universal_Lining_Torso
    Adds different crafting options like lighter build. There is also leg and arm linings like this that do similar.
    Armor_NoFirstTimeLoot

  • Information x Conflicts

    All of the following changes apply to: Gunners, Minutemen, Brotherhood, Railroad, Institute, Children Of Atom, Triggermen, DC Guards, Atom Cats, Raiders, Forged, Rust Devils, Trappers, Disciples, Operators, The Pack, Fishermen, Dockworkers, Super Mutants, Dogs & Settlers. This is every faction in both the base game & the DLC's. Meliora has a completely rewritten clothing and armor leveled list to get the variety I was after.

    Armor distribution
    The goal with the armor sets was to create a huge amount of visual variety amongst NPC's. When they only have a couple of underarmors to pick from, randomized armor pieces give the illusion of endless variety. A chance based system is in place to achieve this. Light, Medium & Heavy armor variants now all spawn without ...
