📋 About This Mod

Because repairing your armor should not be a pain in the ass.

Credit goes to the original author "Antistar" for giving permission to modify his work.

Minor cleanup of bad irrelevant edits from the original, plus updated recipe.

Updated recipe - Removed "leather belt" as requirement to craft armor kits. Because they are not so common to find, plus the rest of the ingredients are already sufficient enough. (recipe is still the same otherwise, with 2x scrap metal, 1x hammer, 1x wonder glue, and 1x duct tape required to create a kit)

Updated output - Crafting an armor kit now yields three kits per single crafting. This is enough to almost fully repair a single armor if your repair skill is at 100. Also included an optional download for making only one kit per batch instead of three.

Removed breakdown recipe introduced in this mod for weapon kits. Because this is not a weapon repair kit mod, this is an armor repair kit mod. Other mods for weapon repair kits may potentially edit this data. Absolutely no reason why it should be included here, so it was removed.

Updated spelling of "Armour" to "Armor" :)

Make sure you uninstall any other armor kit mods before installing this one.

No other mods needed for this to work.
