Denizens Legendary Crafting V1.0.1

A quality of life mod that allows you to craft rare, epic, and legendary weapon and armour mods at workbenches. Undertake new research to unlock craftable vanilla weapon and armour legendary effects. This one is for the purists, so the base effect restrictions on spacesuits, helmets, and backpacks have been applied.

This mod is for players who have found the best-looking legendary armour or gun but it has legendary effects that don’t suit your playstyle. It’s for players who are happy with the original game balance, but would like the convenience of changing legendary effects without save-scumming and in a lore-friendly way.

Installation
Vortex
Simply download using Vortex, activate, and deploy as per the Vortex readme.
Ensure that Plugins.txt Enabler is installed.

Manual (not recommended)
Download and unzip into the Starfield \Data folder.
Write the names of the downloaded esm files in the plugins.txt file e.g.
*DenizensCraftingBase.esm
*DenizensLegendaryCraftingArmour.esm
*DenizensLegendaryCraftingWeapons.esm

Compatibility
The weapon and armour crafting have been separated out into different esm files to try to imrove compatibility with other mods.

The weapon crafting should be compatible with any mod that changes the vanilla weapon rare, epic, and legendary effects – but it will not automatically add new effects. Conflicts may arise with other mods that add recipes to the Weapon Workbench or that change the legendary attach point keywords.

The armour crafting will be incompatible with any other mod that changes the vanilla rare, epic, and legendary armour effects because the Object Modifications were changed in order to apply the effect type restrictions. Conflicts may arise with other mods that add recipes to the Spacesuit Workbench or that change the legendary attach point keywords.

It is known that Legendary Effect Overhaul (LEO) is incompatible with this mod. A compatibility patch may resolve conflicts but there will be recipe groups from each of our mods that both add legendary effects to items.
