After having helped a lot of users with a lot of related issues in the past weeks and getting tired of repeating the same things over and over and since in 99% of the cases, these kinds of issues happen for the same reasons, I condensed the most common ones and their causes into: [/line]Ten rules to get a mod setup with a lot of workshop & crafting mods to work [/line] [/line][/line]#1: Don't use Working Food Planters and/or older versions of SSEx / Safe SSEx prior to v3.0! Homemaker and / or NX Pro Farming are well-maintained alternatives and don't have the issues that Working Food Planters and older versions of SSEx / Safe SSEx have and cause, including CTD and savegame corruption issues due to being made with XSnip (original SSEx & Working Food Planters) and/or incompatibilities causing missing menus due to being unmaintained and not providing SK patches (applies to all three of them). If you already built a lot of settlement objects with SSEx and want to keep using it, make sure to update it to the latest version (v3.0+), which has been fixed by Ethreon! [/line][/line]#2: Know your mods and understand, what they do and how they do it! Read and follow the descriptions, sticky posts and issue reports of the mods you use, to get information about how to install them, known incompatibilities and patches, how they add their items to the menus and other known issues. And whenever in doubt: ask the mod author! Keep in mind though, that the author of one mod doesn't necessarily know and use all of the mods you use and might not know about certain incompatibilities or load order issues in specific combinations of mods. An example for that is Snap'n Build. Its author recommends to put its .esm file below all other .esm files, which in combination with Homemaker and its Greenhouse and / or Bunker Disabler might lead to a CTD in the workshop, hence why Homemaker.esm has been put below Snap'n Build.esm in the recommended load order example below. [/line][/line]#3: Use the latest versions of Settlement Keywords (SK) and / or Armor and Weapon Keywords Community Resource (AWKCR) and don't allow other mods to overwrite their .esm files with older versions! These two provide a custom "standard" set of category keywords for other mods to use. They are the necessary base for a mod setup with a lot of workshop & crafting mods, at least until a better solution to battle the keyword cap issues has been found. Make sure to get accustomed to the menu structure provided by SK, since some vanilla menus are moved. A common example for that is the Stores menu, which is moved from the main workshop menu to Resources / Stores. So read the sticky post on SK's mod page which shows the complete menu structure provided by SK and browse all menus ingame before you declare something as missing. [/line][/line]#4: Use SK- / AWKCR-versions or -patches for your mods wherever applicable and / or mods, that only use vanilla categories without altering them. When in doubt, refer to rule #2.These are the settlement workshop mods that I use in conjunction with SK. When using the latest and right versions, installing them correctly and making the right choices during installation and applying the correct load order, these will work fine together: [/line][/line]#5: Don't use mods, that add custom categories without providing a patch for SK and try to avoid mods, that still add custom keywords to the game even with their SK patches. Try to convince their authors to provide a vanilla category version or a full SK port. When in doubt, refer to rule #2.Some commonly used mods that are known to cause menu conflicts due to adding custom categories without providing SK patches are: [/line][/line]#6: Don't use additional compatibility patches for the SK versions of two mods as long as it is not explicitly stated, that they are meant for the SK versions as well. With SK versions of two mods, incompatibilies between them in terms of shared menu categories should already be solved. When in doubt, refer to rule #2. [/line][/line]#7: Don't use multiple versions of the same mod / patch at the same time. Self-explanatory. When in doubt, refer to rule #2. [/line][/line]#8: Don't use outdated versions of your mods / patches and don't combine different versions of a mod and its patches. Self-explanatory. When in doubt, refer to rule #2. [/line][/line]#9: Don't use mods that are already part of another mod you use, unless it's explicitly recommended by the mod author in special cases. Common examples for this are Homemaker & Snappable Covenant Walls or Snap'n Build's main mod & one or more of the Snap'n Build single-set mods. While it might work in some cases, in most cases it is at least unnecessary, if not conflicting and leads to unnecessary confusion especially when troubleshooting. When in doubt, refer to rule #2. [/line][/line]#10: Preferrably use NMM or LOOT to generally sort your load order and look for missing master files and then adjust the load order manually according to the example load order originally provided by Gambit77 (author of the excellent mod Armorsmith Extended) and tweaked by me. The main thing here is not the individual mod order, which might differ depending on your individual mod setup and different mod versions, but the overall order sorted by mod type and for example having all workshop mods above all crafting mods! General load order rules, especially regarding mod / patch files having to be placed below their master files, still have to be applied in case they differ from this example. [/line][/line] Following these rules should allow you to see and use all of your mods' objects in the menus. This does however NOT guarantee you to not hit the category keyword cap, due to some mods still adding their custom keywords to the game, even with their SK patches. But it should reduce the jumbling of menus / items to crafting menus only, even when having hit the cap. And since I keep forgetting it and I can't edit the title to say "11 rules", I'll just put it here: There are restricted settlements where you won't have access to all workshop menus! Boston Airport is one of them. Always try it in settlements known to be unrestricted, like Sanctuary for example! [/line][/line] CTD issues The above guide / ruleset does NOT necessarily solve issues apart from menus not showing up and/or objects missing. While some CTD issues might already be solved by following the above rules, there are a lot of other, more probable causes for CTD on startup or on workshop menus, including, but not limited to: your ini files not being set up correctly (anymore)follow this advice to set up your \%userdata%\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Fallout4Custom.ini and double-check, even if you already made that change earlier, just to make sure it didn't get reverted by Fallout's launcher or an update in the meantime.remove \%installpath%\Fallout 4\data\Fallout4.ini in case you have it, since otherwise it would override your \%userdata%\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Fallout4Custom.ini [/line][/line]having placed mods / patches above the master file(s) they are referring to or not even having installed / enabled the master file(s) at allcheck and fix your load order. NMM shows these files in orange / red and LOOT will sort them automatically. Make sure to still apply the general mod type order shown in the load order example above afterwards. [/line][/line]not having installed the files in \meshes and subfolders of a mod to \%installpath%\Fallout 4\data correctly (can also happen when using NMM and / or MO2)try copying the folder and its content manually and / or try launching NMM with admin rights and then reinstalling the mods [/line][/line]having a conflicting interface mod or other custom changes to the game besides .esm / .esp filesremove \%installpath%\Fallout 4\data\interface\Workshop.swf in case you have it. Other .swf files might conflict as well.remove any custom .ba2 files like for example \%installpath%\Fallout 4\data\widescreen.ba2 or other non-vanilla ones (the vanilla ones all look like this: Fallout4 - *.ba2). [/line][/line]using corrupted or incompatible textures (check this thread for some examples)when in doubt, just rename the \%installpath%\Fallout 4\data\textures folder. If the CTD does not happen anymore and you see some pink objects or vanilla textures instead, it is a texture issue and you will have to hunt down the according texture(s). [/line][/line]having built stuff far beyond the limits of vanilla game with the help of mods and / or console commands (high amount of objects and / or building outside vanilla borders for example)try it on an older save or a clean new game [/line][/line]suffering from savegame corruption due to using flawed mods on that playthrough beforehand (Working Food Planters and at least the old XSnip-version of SSEx are probable causes for this)try it on a clean new game [/line][/line]suffering from general savegame bloat after playing hundreds of hours on that playthrough, which can even happen in vanilla game without ever using any mods at all, although using mods at least increases the risk for this to happentry it on a clean new game [/line][/line]suffering from game file corruptiontry verifying game cache in Steam and/or reinstalling the game

I'm looking for mods that increase the amount of resources and ingrediencies that we gather for crafting. When I mine, chop wood or pick ingrediencies, it just seems like I should be able to get more then two. I'm not asking a lot. Just a slight increase in the amount I usually get. I also want to be able to go up to a tree and cut at with an axe for firewood. So, if you know of any mods that fit what I am looking for, please leave a comment a link to the mod. Thank you. Your help is appreciated.

Has anyone else missed the schematics you had to buy or find in past Fallout games so that you could make special weapons? Well what if that was back but revamped a bit to really balance out the weapon mod crafting that you can do so it feels more immersive to make a night vision recon scope through hard work instead of just getting 4 points in gun nut and science and can make whatever you want and have it be factory new with every specific detail to it for no reason. I also find it weird that guns that you could make in previous Fallouts canât actually be crafted and can only be bought and found when they were all clearly crafted by someone else. And if you did make them wouldnât it make sense that you would make them out of scavenged parts like a crutch and steam gauge assembly etc. in order to make a railway rifle that looks like itâs a makeshift weapon or a dart gun made out of a paint gun and a toy car. I personally enjoyed this aspect of the previous games and was very sad to not see it return and had to just pick up weapons and take the mods off in order to put them on your preferred weapon. If someone could make a mod thatâs compatible for XB1 where you have to find schematics in order to make weapons again. i.e. Pipe weapons, syringer, railway rifle, laser musket, handmade rifle, handmade shot gun, junk jet, missile launcher (because in my eyes it seems like a handmade version) baseball grenades, bottle cap mine, Deathclaw gauntlet, shishkebab and maybe even the power fist that would be great. Maybe adding a retexture or add mod option to have a makeshift version of that mod part that looks like it was made of that piece of junk you grabbed and put on it and work your way up to a vanilla version. Maybe change it so that in order to craft it you need that exact part and not just the base component like steel or leather. Like you actually need a baseball in order to make a baseball grenade or a motorcycle gas tank in order to make the shishkebab, I mean youâll have to add some of these specific and new pieces into the game because Bethesda didnât feel like adding them, but wouldnât it all be worth it to have immersion restored and not having to just use a mod that prevents you from making and weapon mods and relying on only finding them off of enemy weapons or buying a weapon from a vendor just to get that specific mod? I think it is and Iâm sure a talented modder out there feels my pain and would love to make it a reality and add a few things from past games to really complete the commonwealth that shouldâve been. Also having the dart gun back would be with dart ammo would be pretty cool too.

I use a decent amount of crafting mods and so there are a lot of moments where I have to scroll through quite a few of them to get to the ones I want. I think It would be useful to have a mod that makes things that you can't craft, whether from lack of a perk, material, or some sort of recipe, invisible until you gain them. It would probably be necessary to make it toggleable so people can check to see if a crafting mod is working or check the material they need for something. On a separate note, a lot of mods add their own workbenches so I think it would be useful to make more patches for adding other mods or vanilla benches items to the AWCR Benches like with the AWCR Explosives Patch so you don't have armour and other random things in the chemistry bench so much. That combined with the original premise would make crafting more streamlined but with more manageable menus.

Now that we have a couple of Taxidermy mods, I wonder if someone could do taxidermy based furniture, kinda like the Pack Raiders from Nuka World did with Brahmin and Gorillas, but have it a bit more expanded, like Sofas made from Radstag or Brahmiluff and a chair made from the hide of a Deathclaw or Gatorclaw, or even a Table made from Brahmin, Yao Guai or whatnot. I know its a lot to ask, but can anyone at least look into it pretty please? Here would be an example of what components you need to make a Deathclaw Hide Chair... 1X Cloth 1X Deathclaw Hide 1X wood

So I had idea for simple cheat mod, wich makes time stop whenever you craft items, making it easier to craft as many things as you want while using potions. As alternative you could make it so whenever you craft something, X amount of seconds pass by so potions wouldn't give you infinite amount of craftings, but rather Y amount of boosted crafts you can perform. It could be anything from 0 seconds (so one potion gives you infinite potencial crafts) to any amount of seconds you feel like would take to craft potion/armor/weapon/enchanting. Whenever I'm crafting something I always fear that whenever I use potion I will always waste some of that precious time on finding enchantments I wanted to put on weapons, or to find exact ingredient/components for my desired potion/weapon/armor piece (this one you COULD fix by not holding all ingredients in your equipment, sure, but you can't do that with enchanting, because once you learn effect, you can't just get rid of it or temporary hide it so you can perform quicker actions). Thats why I think this mod idea could make it much less stressful. While yeah, it would make it much easier, sure, but only if you let it to never vanish. You could balance all potions based on crafting by limiting uses you get from it, maybe even make it so for specific crafting types it takes more seconds than for other types (it would make sense if it takes more time for you to craft say dagger than simple potion by mixing two or more ingredients). Taking seconds from boosting effects would be good for another reason: it would work with mods wich extend time for crafting potions. I'm curently using mod wich extend times for effects of crafting potions to five minutes. While this makes it much less stresfull, now you can try to fit as many boosted crafts as possible now in five minutes. I would be very thankfull to modder who takes this specific request. Hopefully this is possible to do.

at first my English is very bad. there are a few mods who tried Overhaul the Smithing System, but i think there ist still more potential to make Smithing better. for those who wants Smithing be more Realistic it would be better you need to Craft the Components first before you can Craft your Weapon or Armor itself. At the Anvil you Craft the Components and on the Workbench you combine the Parts. The Quality of the Product will depend on how often you have crafted this. I also admit that the Smithing Perks of Vanilla Skyrim is awful. The Perks should not be able to Unlock just by level. Iron and Steelsmithing is ok, it's logical that the normal Smithes from Skyrim know about making Iron and Steel Armor and Weapons, but how you know suddenly how to craft Elven-, Orc-, or Falmerarmor? it would be more realistic if you learn this Perks from different ways. Dwarven-Smithing: Because the Dwemer disappeared it would be realistic if you can discover the Mysteries of Dwarven-Smithing by Dwemer Ruins through reading Books lost there or Inscriptions on Walls. Elven-Smithing: There could be an wandering NPC an Elf who is an scholar who studies the History of Elven Smithing. This one can teach you the Mysteries of Elven Smithing. Orc-Smithing: Would be easy to learn in from the Orc-Smith in one of the Orc-Fortress. Glas-Smithing: the DLC Dragonborn and the Island Solstheim would be a good Answer to this. An Vulcanic-Island where a Skaal-Smith could you teach this Perk. Ebony-Smithing: There is not much i know about this Material in Skyrim, so i think it could be a Quest for the Divine Zenithar who will teach you the Knowledge about that Daedric-Smithing: perhaps a small Quest from Hermaeus Mora, who will give you this Knowledge in Exchange for another Knowledge, he didn't know yet. Dragonbone-Smithing: could be connected with the Main-Quest of Alduin. If you found the Sky Heaven Temple there could be a Secret Champer where you see your Dragonborn Ancestor who crafts Dragonbone Weapon and Armour, so you will learn it from your Ancestor so, whats your Thoughts about this? :happy:

Short version - How has nobody done this yet? There are mods for Institute versions of 'normal' workbenches - there is a mod to craft gen1/2 synths at existing robot workbenches... Why not combine the two and have a high-tech skinned version of the robo-crafting station that looks like it belong in the Institutes 'robotics' department? Now, I'm a student of 3D art myself, I *could* make this myself - the question is, what programs would I need outside of those I already have? I have 3DsMax (2017), and the Adobe 'creative cloud' (including photoshop). Anyway, let us see where we can take this hmm? ~JD

We all occasionally have ideas. Sometimes they hit us with the force of a freight train, others like the boop of cats snoot. Well.. I wondered onto the track and got obliterated. This isn't really a request. To be honest I don't know what it is, just.. don't want this to be seen as some discontent console peasant. Just some musings really. Well! Notice how ammunition is handled in Fallout 4? You have weight on survival, different calibers are offered in a basic form, can be looted, purchased or manufactured via contraptions. I miss the days of Fallout: New Vegas. The reloading bench and ED-E was essential to my survival, I could dismantle and produce ammunition OF VARIOUS TYPES on the go or at an appropriate bench. There were components involved; Primers, shells and casings, powder and projectile. We lost this capability when the mainline series released our current aspect of the Fallout universe; Fallout 4. Since then we gained the ability to build communities and shape Commonwealth society; we are now dependent upon the construction of settlements and merchants to maintain our state of effectiveness. I noticed AWKCR by Gambit77 has reloading benches. Digging deeper into the vast depths of this creation; I seen resources for primers, shells and casings, powder and projectile (They even have their own meshes and textures!). No implementation, the bench ammunition recipes are vanilla.. I think (I play on Xbox, I have no clue if this is indicative of function for the PC version). I then think about that stockpile of ammunition I have; That can't be dismantled for components. My only choices are to rearm with a different platform or get financially.. taken advantage of.. by Crazy Myrna for attempting to sell in order to buy the appropriate ammunition. Now think on the way the mechanic for firearms operates. Pull out gun. Fire gun. Exhaust magazine or clip (PING!). Reload gun (..For some that means after every two shots even..). Rinse and repeat. The whole time this is just a ticker counting down from a central stockpile with specified reload intervals. But we're missing something. The act of reloading magazines and clips. These endless magazines and clips we carry (I personally like to use my infinite sphincter) appear out of nowhere (already loaded) and disappear into the same nothingness from whence they came. What would you think about magazines and clips being an actual item? Weighted in survival and able to manufacture or purchase. You have to add the ammunition to them in order to fire the firearms; That way you're not just pulling the trigger and those rounds in your pocket just start flying. My opinion is that it adds some realism and should be seen as immersive. It could change the whole dynamic of gunplay. There would actually be tactical assessment involved with engagements. This is getting way to long. I'm going to get off my soapbox and take my leave. Please, interact with me on this. I wrote this because I really want opinion. As always, Thank you for your time and consideration. Much Love. - Nord

So, couple of weeks ago i did some load order changes and all of a sudden every time i try to equip weapons from pip-boy dialog option pops up and asking what type of weapon version do i need? Is it full auto, silenced, semi etc. Basically you can create any weapon instantly without mod kits and workbench. The only things i did during this time, if I'm not mistaking, was something like moving 20th century weapons above FWE, installing MMMPlus and maybe moving bridges. I've uninstalled 20th century since then, though.

is there anyway someone can make a mod that adds the draugr armor as wearable and make it lootable and craftable as well (no replacers), the stats could be identical to iron armor since the ancient nord weapon stats are identical to iron weapons, having everything including both helmets, bracers and curiss, the shin gaurds could be put on a copied and retextured iron boots and the pants may need to be changed maybe a copied and retextured hide or studded leather pants would be a cool rpg piece to have if you like running around with the ancient weapons like me :) please and thank you. :)

ever play dead space 3? remember the weapon crafting in that? why hasn't that been a mod in fallout 4? its the direction that i thought bethesda was going in when they first announced it until the released it as it is now. but i'm surprised no one has decided to do that. so you'd have various frames and then those frames allowed different receivers, barrels, and calibers. the pipe weapons would be the lowest level and higher level parts would obviously be unlocked with weapon smith and science. i should of requested this mod sooner, but really i figured someone was already gonna jump on this idea. only problem now though, is that the modding community is late in the game and compatibility is a bit of a issue with other mods now, however, there is AWKCR which might help with this issue. point is, it would be an awesome mod and could be expanded to work with the melee weapons too. the armor however already kinda has it so that i cant imagine changing.

Hey guys, I'm giving this idea like you would have a limit of some types of items (example: arrows, ores, hides, gems, even gold) at the beginning of the game. To increase that capacity you would need to craft some leveled pouches/bags/quiver made out of some specific animal hides so you could carry more than that limit. That way hunting would become more meaningful. If you played Far Cry 3/4 you understand what I'm saying, that mechanic is very interesting because you could spend some time hunting instead of only shooting people. Or a mod more simple like set some limit of those items in a mcm config and we would role play some way to increase that limit. Something to think about.

Do you ever worry about running out of arrows when you're nowhere near a blacksmith forge? Well now you can craft arrows literally anywhere! Portable Arrow Crafting comes to you from B1gBadDaddy, the author of Hunting in Skyrim, allowing the player to craft arrows anywhere in the world using an Arrow Crafting Kit. You can craft a kit at a blacksmith forge, or you can find one at Hunter's Rest on the table inside the shack. Then you simply activate it in your inventory. Easy! It even has a nice animation.

Hi, I am looking to have a mod made that would reshuffle the categories in the Settlement Workshop. Basically, I would love to be able to sort all the items added by mods that would usually be in their own categories and sub-categories into the appropriate vanilla categories. Similar to how Settlement Menus Manager gives each mod its own master category, I would love to see the items sorted into vanilla. That way when you need that one item from that one mod, you don't have to search through 5 or 6 different categories trying to find it. If I had a knowledge of modding I would attempt to make this myself, but I have never made any mod whatsoever, therefore I have no idea what really goes into it. Thank you for reading this and I hope that someone will please help bring this mod to fruition.

Long-time lurker, here. I haven't made a mod before, so I thought it'd be inappropriate to post this in the modders section. Concept: trick the game into allowing multi-piece modular armor sets without ever messing with the built-in armor slotting system. Method: create a base armor item for light and heavy, let's say a gambeson. Apply armor pieces (cuirass, pauldrons, greaves) to the gambeson at the workbench. As far as the game is concerned, it's a distinct item which takes up the standard 1 equip slot on the actor. Partially inspired by Fallout 4's armor/weapon modding system. This would allow single/mismatched pauldrons and otherwise expand the variety of armor appearances, all without cluttering up the forge/tanning rack with 20 versions of the same item. Think this is feasible? What would be a good starting point in trying to construct such a mod? Pure speculation section: Design it so rigid armor pieces are merely anchored to the gambeson (like sheathed weapons), rather than becoming part of the mesh, so they are not subject to any warping with actor animations. This would probably introduce too many clipping issues to be worth the hassle. Just a thought.

Fallout 4 has pipe weapons but they're a but lacking, requiring actual ammunition and actually functioning as worse versions of any other weapon. These are supposed to be the improvised tools of people creative enough to use pipe clamps and bolts to build a semi-serviceable automatic weapon that fires modern ammo. Does Bethesda expect us to believe that someone wouldn't just mix a bunch of fertilizer, a lead ball, and a thick walled pipe? AKA go back to the Old Revolutionary war era tech? But considering the skills they demonstrate at least give them credit for Civil War era weapons, like the Sharps rifle. ( ) The biggest counter point would be that primitive weapons have lower muzzle velocities, and are therefor weaker. HOWEVER they knew that back then and that's why the basic infantry weapon from those times could be between .60 and .75 caliber, sizes that would break your arm if fired with similar powder loads today. SO, Could someone creative make a single shot, lever action, breach loaded rifle with similar or slightly higher damage to a hunting rifle that uses ammo made at a Chemistry station that is in the .60 to .75 caliber range? Said rifle would have to be in the Pipe family and not be compatible with any silencers, with possible shotgun ammo variants (idk if an alternative receiver would make that easier, my only alternative ammo experience is from FNV).

The basic idea is: When you craft 3 x Dirty Water into 1 x Purified Water, I want the script to add to inventory 2 x Empty Bottles. I've found a pretty similar idea elsewhere on this forum, but the thread is over four years old, and it didn't have the resulting copy/paste code I was hoping for. If anyone can help me with this, I'd definitely be grateful. This is what I have been able to piece together so far from that thread, but it's not working. It's my very first time trying to script anything, and it's really the only thing I want to script (so far). Kind of hampering my enjoying of survival mode a bit, because it gets harder to find empty bottles. Every 1 bottle of purified water I craft/drink, that's 3 bottles gone. I guess I smash two bottles to make it, and smash the last bottle on the ground like Thor in the Diner.

It compiles just fine, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I 'm surprised there's no such mod out there yet since there is the skin section in crafting, although to be fair i have no idea how easy or hard it is to do such a thing modding wise.

Hey, I was hoping for mod devs to look into this one. Storage and Sorting: The outpost system is very bad. What im looking for is a storage system, where you can set what resource only the storage should take. When you have a link system, it throws what ever into the the containers. I want single resources sorted in my base. This container has Iron, and only iron, so the link system put only that resource in that container when arriving. If we had this easy tag, it should sort it self when arriving, either you put it with a container cross link output. Fabricator that can pull from the base and ship, like the workstations. Now, you need to swap manualy from each time you should make something in the output link. Just stupid. If someone manage to fix this in a mod, 99% of the base and crafting will be fixed. Maby have a better link system. What you want here is, is when ever you plot down a resource farm on planet, to be sent yo your main base right? Then you have a container for that resource only. and not 30 containers with 10 different resources in. Im just tierd of trying to find the resources i need, and how much i have. In other, there is also some resources that is more easy to get in volum. Those usaly flood the containers again, so there is no space for the rest. See my problem? This should also help the automation process to now if made, due fabricator cant pull from all resources. By sorting containers, it will not flood containers of the most easy resource. Im not sure how to fix the link system. You need HE-3 to power em between the link platforms. Then you can have X amount of links. Its a spagetti problem, to get the stuff you want in you base. It should be a hub, to send ALL resources in the galaxy. So you can just craft, and not travel around fill a bit here, go to next planet do get that, then you craft it, you need to go out again, due you miss something for another module. The fabricator needs rewiring. This system needs to get more easy. All to base, craft all. Thats it. This might be a challange! But are you the mod dev for it? It`s not any mod`s out there, who can do this yet. I can also detect what people are looking for atm. You can see that base storage, link system and sorting is highly viewed topic in the forums, due people are getting into the endgame now, and might be the most popular mod if made. Thanks!

The current crafting/research tracking is better than nothing, but not by a lot, my request would be to implement something similar to Subnautica: Below Zero, where you can track various crafting projects (pin recipe) and it will show on your HUD all the components you need. It doesn't necessarily need to be on the HUD, but certainly when you are in the trade menu, so you can see exactly how many of what items you need, rather than the current "You need some of these, but I'm not going to tell you how much"

I had no idea that this wasnt a feature included in the game already. in a game thats all about building, collecting and exploring the fact that you cant use the junk you find to turn into resources is kind of stupid if you ask me, especially when Fallout 4 had this without mods. If someone could make this happen, it would rule, and i know im not the only one thinking about this one.

I have seen a lot of replacer mods that don't deal with external media, but rather change the appearance of one armor to look like another armor... or to combine a particular set into a visually pleasing composition - I for example like Deepseeker helm and pack combined with Shocktroop suit I guess that is because every type of armor has its' own Ballistic/laser/em/environmental protection ratio that is just amplified by level. So what I thought up is a kind of crafting object (idk if the term is right, you know, like workbench or lab) that lets player pick two items of the same category from their inventory and combines them into one that has appearance of one, stats of another and a custom name. Putting this up as an idea, because I doubt I'll be able to learn how to make such mod in forseeable future.

The title really says it all. I run Gale as a high level wizard, my Tav is an Eldritch Knight/Wizard mix. Having her learn spells from scrolls crafted by Gale would be pretty neat.

Why I can only craft mods is beyond me. I'd like the perks that allow you to craft mods to also allow you to craft weapons or spacesuits. Not all at once, but tiered along with the perk progression.
