📋 About This Mod

Want MORE power armor stuff? Check THESE GUYS out! NEW CP for Project Nevada! PN users, come and get it! NEW Hotfix to boost you to version 1. 3! Thanks to jediakyrol for catching a bug in 1. 2, fixing it, and letting us all have it! You\'re awesome, man! NEW in version 1. 2: Streamlined the download a little bit to reduce size, also did some housekeeping in the ESP file to fix missing icons and mesh references so you can drop the workbench-created items and they won\'t disappear into the void anymore like in version 1. 1 -- if you do manage to drop one of your perk items before using it, it will look like a holotape. NEW in version 1. 1: There is now a schematics vendor (complete with amateurish voice acting by me) called \"Paladin Ario\" in the Brotherhood Safehouse that sells recipes for making items that give you the new perks. The particular ingredients are outlined in the readme included in the download, but I will tell you that some of the ingredients are pretty rare, and they are destroyed in the research process. Also, the skill requirements to get the perks at level-up have been raised pretty high... it will be much easier to use the workbench recipes, if you can find the ingredients. You will need to have Power Armor Training before the new vendor at the safehouse will sell you anything. BTW, the items you make with the workbench recipes have to be USED before you get the perk actually added to your character. You can find the items under the AID tab in your Pip-Boy... it\'s just like using any other Aid Item. thanks to jediakyrol for his excellent recipe suggestions! Mod Features: 8 new perks, available at 2nd level, after you receive Power Armor Training from somebody (or cheat with the console...) The effects attached to Power Armors are slightly altered, but the item references themselves are untouched -- meaning that if you are running a mod that changes meshes or textures of PAs, this mod will not screw your stuff up. It will also not change the DT, cap value, or item HP or anything else besides what effects you can see in your Pip-Boy under \"Stats--EFF\" when you are wearing a suit of Power Armor. So, this what I modded in the effects: all power armors give +1 to STR, can carry their own weight (carry +50 lbs), and have at least +20% to rad resistance. T-45d armor has only a -1 to AGL. All power helmets have +10% rad resistance, T-51b helmet still has +1 to CHR, and Enclave helmet models still have -1 CHR. Tesla variants still have the +10 to Energy Weapons. The perks have some skill requirements, depending on how burly they are... one of the toughest perks has a Science 70 and repair 60 requirement, due to the fact that it boosts STR by +3 and AGL by -1. I did not make any of the perks dependent on SPECIAL attributes -- it is all about skill levels. So anybody can eventually get a
