An intereseting Discovery

   After working on New Austin for some time now, one of the original goals was to find a way to change how armor works. We always envisioned that the player could customize armor the same way they customize their weapons within Fallout 4. We wanted a system that would allow the player to add trinkets, and armor attachments such as ammo bags, or just customize it with more exciting models. How this would have worked in Fallout 4 is that for each variant of armor, you would need to add a completely new model to the game. This would have made it entirely impractical to do what we wanted with the customization, but somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew that this had to be possible in the current engine. Well, good news! We figured it out. We figured out how to do this and moving forward this is going to change how armors are going to work going forward. Every armor piece can now benefit from some much-needed flexibility in customization and can even share models with each other. This is going to dramatically increase the amount of armor varrients that will be seen in the game. If we were to take this system and add it to vanilla fallout 4, it would 8x (probably more) the amount of armor varrients that are possible. This literally changes everything about how armor customization is going to work moving forward as well as making it possible to do many of the things we had planned from the beggining. We are currently taking the time to implement these changes into some of our standalone mods in order to really show off its potential. This is going to delay some standalone content but moving forward it will dramatically decrease the amount of time between future releases as well as allowing us more time to work on worthwhile content. If you are a modder and would like more info, let us know using the contact page or by leaving a comment.
