I'm not big into code but from what I can tell this would be a simple addition. Basically I just want to be able to craft some armor. I don't like having to rely on kills and looting corpses to get armor; you'd realistically think the colonists could make something themselves, right? I mean we get a blacksmith table for heaven's sake.
It doesn't have to be fancy. Color-swapped versions for different recipes if you really want to, that'd be awesome, but just regular old body armor getting its own recipe would be pretty swell.
I don't suppose any coders have a couple minutes to work on this?
My mod cybernetic storm adds new Craftable armours. Also there is vanilla power armour crafting in it.
