Radiant Biosteel Silk Armors

To sum things up : this mod adds the Biosteel silk, a new crafting material to the game with its related furnitures (bench, loom, container). You will have to find in Kenshi's world where that damn silk is and I won't help you ! With that material in hand and with the proper research(s) you will be able to craft an interresting array of new armours. It will be rewarding, those armour pieces are still using original game meshes but they come with brand new textures and also gain fairly better stats than their original versions (less malus intensity since lighter, and better cut efficiency since that silk is strong) while never being overpowered be reassured, because we love to keep the difficulty close in this game right?

Here we go ! My first epic mod for Kenshi ! My main motivation for making this mod was to bring back the light-medium armors into the mid to end-game meta and bring back a better homogeinity in armour color tones so pieces can mix up better. Some meshes are real fun and it's kinda sad we always end up with the same 2 or 3 armors in the end just because of the stats. But even with these new slightly buffed pieces, this mod won't spoil your kenshi base experience. Its database is completly separated from the base game and they are not replacing anything so you must see it as a bonus expansion.

I took a really special care so that my textures don't look like swearing on the base game graphics, in fact that's always my philosophy : sticking close to every game art direction

Count : 68 New balanced and retextured armors so far !
These "Biosteel Silk" armors have a thematic recurrence over their stats even if they tend to be all unique in their own way :

• Cutting Efficiency : just sewing or rags pieces = 50-60%, thin biosteel = 70%, thick biosteel or leather layered = 80%, biosteel and Plate = 90%. Intermediary values can happen.
  
• Cut resistance : + 0-20%, frequent and in competition with chainmail stats which is supposed to be close to that material if it would exist.
  
• Blunt Resistance : + 0-??%, very rare, only to put a specific armor kind back in the meta, will never cross a thicker/heavier armor.
  
• Harpoon resistance : + 0-10%, frequent, depends of the armor integrity. Rags will get almost none, full biosteel takes 6-10% while thicker armor gain 10% to catch up a bit the unmatched samurai armor.
  
• Weight : Undeniably lighter, but can't make the plate or leather lighter.
  
• Acid protection : The things making this silk are not really fearing the acid rain, now we know why !
  
• Fun descriptions : At least i smiled.

But also : Few balancing tweaks (on some vanilla omissions), description fixes, some armor part coverage changed for realism or meta (nothing crazy don't worry)

You can find all my mods by searching "Radiant" in steam workshop, nexus, or civfanatics, which is a recurrent word in all my mod's tittles.

Even if they represent hundreds of working hours, I'm sharing my mods for free like most of mod creators. But deep down I'm really hoping you to do that little extra thing that would help me a lot : joining any of my pages (patreon, facebook, instagram). Just that really! Don't feel obliged to give something, with Patreon there is indeed a free option that grants you basic news/content and it will only take few seconds of your time. That being said I'm an artist irl and I sometimes struggle to put my personal projects on the saddle. By giving a little something or joining my ranks you can trigger a course of actions/reactions that might end up gathering more people around, thus helping me building the motivation and means to create more stuff to appreciate.
