About this mod
You can cobble together complicated targeting systems, internal databases, radiation scrubbers, automatic stimpac applicators, thicker plating, etc etc from junk - yet you can't create the basic plates to put on your Power Armor.
Now you can. Once you find the schematics.

Updated to include the new NextGen DLC (X-02 Black Devil and X-03 Hellfire armors).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It isn't the Sole Survivor making a PA Frame. That's a lot more complicated, with actuator/servos all powered by a fusion core.
Of course, he needs to know the schematics of how to make the plates so that they fit properly on the PA Frame. Not like he knows it automatically! So...scattered across the Commonwealth are 8 holotapes containing schematics. Read through the information in 'em to unlock the ability to craft the plates.
Once you get one of these tapes you can place an Armorsmith Workbench (from my Standalone Workbenches mod) and can start to craft the things. (Note that most of them also require the Armorer perk.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locations:
* The train East of Tenpines Bluff (the one with the PA in a cage)
* Federal Ration Stockpile (in the container where the PA is)
* Fort Strong (on top of the General's computer)
* Atom Cats (on the barge to the west with the Mr Gutsy, towards the back-left of the open container)
* Somerville Place (the bunker up the hill)
* National Training yard (the bunker with the PA)
Note: One of the 8 holotapes is a dud - the information is corrupted - you can find out for yourselves which one.
Creation Club Locations (see the video):
* Black Devil tape is on the Devil's Terminal where you pick up the armor
* Hellfire tape is down in Listening Post Bravo (nearby to where you kill Pyro - don't forget the flavor note on a barrel when going into the upstairs bunker)

Optional Addon:
Removed, that was for OldGen only. I cannot currently be bothered making optional for the Horse Armor or Captain Cosmos armor.

F.A.Q.
Q: Your mod broke my game!
A: Uninstall this mod and revert to an earlier save.
Q: Why did you make this?
A: Because you can easily buy PA Frames from four different vendors, yet the various PA plates themselves are much harder to get. (Vendors for PA Frames: Arturo, KLEO, Roxy, Teagan. Of these four, only Roxy will sell non-T-60 PA plates. Occasionally.)
Q: But buying PA frames costs heaps!
A: You haven't made a simple business in your game, have you? Hint: Sell loads of purified water to Carla at Sanctuary. Or Jet. Or food. Purified water and food is easiest, with Uncapped Settlement Surplus.
You might want to look at Jet50 also. You too can supply enough Jet to addict the entire Commonwealth!

Shout out to WetRats for the encouragement. Cheers!

Bugfix:
The Power Armor items crafted will now only be the most basic (no random mods/paint on them).
Many thanks to the Sim Settlements team, most particularly for helping with this:
* Jonathan
* Pra
* Kinggath
