Please note: I (InsaneGizzardSauce) have moved on from Skyrim for a while now. I've kept monitoring the discussions in case I could help out with level 1 questions, but it's time for me to move on. I've messaged Darkjesusmn, asking him (?) to remove me as a contributor. I stepped up at the time because nobody else was volunteering. All I did was streamline the documentation and make actions stated in the Description tab. If anyone else wants to pick up the baton, please ask Darkjesusmn to be a contributor, or extend this mod using this mod as a requirement. I know for a fact that there are others with interest in this mod with far greater skills than I have. As far as Skyrim is concerned. I'm going dark.
Please read the description page. Some of the problems you have are likely to be answered there.
Bug tab is disabled for public use. If you have questions or comments, please use the comments tab. I closed most of the bugs since they were either not bugs inherent to this mod or more information was needed. Please use the comments section if you experience any issues.
I will not offer an ESL version of this mod for the reasons stated on the description page. I point to a resource you can use to flag the the mod as ESL yourself. Please don't ask me to offer an ESL version here.
This updated version will not break compatibility with Legacy of the Dragonborn Official Patches. I myself use LOTD with every playthrough.
If you're using a Collection in which this mod is included, please go to the Collection author for support.
Please don't ding-dong-ditch. I usually respond to posts within a few hours, and I'm honestly trying to help you out. So after you post, please check for a response and help me to help you.
Helpful Reminders -- Please read the description page before posting any questions Here are some frequent questions and answers.
Q: "I can't forge power armor" (or ingots, etc.) A: It's a good idea to have all the prerequisite steps taken care of before you head to the Aetherium Forge: (1) you need the "arcane blacksmith" perk in order to forge anything at the Aetherium Forge, and (2) you need to have finished the "Unfathomable Depths" quest in order to forge power armor and rifle. These are hard prerequisites. P.S. installing any mods mid-game will cause problems. Get your mods worked out, apply appropriate mod-conflict resolution, patches, etc. Start a new game and leave your mod list and mod order alone.
Q: "Do I really need to have finished 'Unfathomable Depths'?" A: Yes. If you want the power armor and rifle. There's no way around it.
Q: "I can't start 'Unfathomable Depths'!" A: Make sure you're at least level 14.
Could we get the .nif files of the armor and power armors so people can have an easier time with conversions? I use UBE and I'm fairly certain I would need to make a conversion to even have the armor show up on my body. I can't do that without the nifs for the armor.
Does anyone know where I can find more atherium ore? I only found enough to make 4 ingots. I have been to a few dwemer cities to look but no luck so far. I'm about to head to Mzulft, hoping there's some there since I found a bunch in the store room. Thanks
Does anyone use this mod along with Reliquary of Myth artifact overhaul? That last one modifies the enchantment on Aetherial Crown (along with many others), but the two doesn't seem to work together for me (at least I think that's what is happening) - if I create crown through Aetherium ingot (which this mod allows) it is not properly recognized by the game - the stored standing stone effect bonus doesn't work (although the changed enchantment effect from Reliquary of Myth which grants bonus power to active standing stone works, strangely), and if I have LotD radiant quest to get the crown it doesn't mark as complete.
But if I create Crown via quest reward everything works as it should. Wiki says the Crown standing stone effect bonus works via hidden perk that is baked into it and is tied to Lost to the Ages quest completion, maybe one of these two mods messes with it? Did someone experience something similar?
EDIT: as of now, there is a way to fix this via console commands, thanks to this thread: https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/8332848-aetherial-crown-the-way-to-fix-it-via-console-command-on-pc/ (god bless nexus forums and all helpful people there) Just use the following command in console while having a crafted Crown and it will fix the problem: setstage DLC1LD_Postquest 0
(still wish there was a way to fix this problem without console)

In screenshot №8 you have very interesting weapon. What is it?
