Armor Crafting Redux – Research Fix
Ever noticed that with Redux installed, you can end up essentially paying for the same research twice? Yeah, me too. That’s why this fix exists.
🛡️ Overview 🛡️
Instead of touching or deleting any vanilla content in Redux Core (because I wanted it to stay pure), this mod simply makes all four vanilla armor research nodes — Clothing, Leather, Chain, and Plate Armor Crafting — cost nothing and unlock after you complete their Redux counterparts.
All core and expansion modules are conveniently available in one Steam Workshop Collection:

🗝️ Requirements 🗝️
• All Armor Crafting Redux expansions require the Core module.

🏆 Advantages 🏆
• No more redundant research.
• No conflicts with other mods (vanilla research remains intact).
• Everything still shows up in the tech tree exactly where it belongs.
It’s small, tidy, and plays nice with everything else.
🚩 Compatibility 🚩
• Requires Armor Crafting Redux: Core
Load order:
1) 2PN8CraftingReduxVanilla.mod
2) 2PN8CraftingResearchPatch.mod
🧩 Developer’s Note 🧩
Across all its modules, Crafting Redux adds a lot of new content — this is just from the Core modules:
• Weapon Smithing: 9 Weapon Grades, 32 Weapon Types
• Armor Crafting: 4 Benches, 129 Armors
That’s 174 new entries between the two Cores alone. I’ve done my best to make sure every recipe works perfectly, but if you spot something missing or broken, please let me know in the comments — I’ll patch it up as soon as I can. 👍
If you enjoy my mod, feel free to hit that 👍

I appreciate all feedback, so please leave a comment! I read every single one of them!
I’m also working on updating all my old mods, so I’d love it if you checked them out. They’re featured on my workshop page:

Permissions & Use
Feel free to translate, edit, chop up, deep fry, or otherwise modify my mods to your heart’s content. All of my mods are freely distributed. If you end up editing one, I’d really appreciate receiving credit with a link to the original mod. It’s not required, but it would make my day! 😊
