Craftable Faction Armor for Hives Expanded
Allows you to research and craft the unique armors from Hives Expanded belonging to the Western Hive and the Southern Hive.
Hives Expanded allows you to craft its new Hiver armor, but not with the same textures as those used by the factions. This mod adds new research projects to learn their variants after you have obtained the neutral version.
The research requires a smaller amount of hive notebooks. Western/Southern armors are identical to the neutral variant in stats.
And then there’s the elusive Black Carapace Armor sets. These sets are slightly stronger than the other variants, and are normally not easy to obtain. I wasn’t sure how to balance their placement, so for now it is found as a unique blueprint in the inventory of the Queen of the South.
May require import to place the blueprint in the Queen’s inventory if you have already loaded that zone.
