Power armor rebalancing, crafting, salvaging, and exploring mod

[immortalfrieza]

Hi everyone!

I would like a power armor mod that completely overhauls how power armor works in the game. To wit:

- Power Armor does not require fusion cores and does not become damaged.

- Power Armor is weakened so that it's an improvement over Ballistic Weaves, with Raider Power Armor being a tiered bump over it and T-45 better than that and so forth.

- With one exception of briefly during the When Freedom Calls quest, Power Armor is unusable on it's own and requires the completion of quests and special items to function.

- When the When Freedom Calls quest is complete, the power armor the player is using ceases to function and the player is forced out. After which the player receives a long lasting quest to gather key resources and take perks to repair and use power armor, starting with salvaging the remains of the power armor the player was using to acquire the parts to craft the player's first power armor frame, but the player would still need the plans.

- All usable Power Armor must be crafted by the player piece by piece, and each piece the player must both have found the blueprints to make the armor and have the necessary perks.

- Power Armor will be designed though not necessarily have to be acquired in a tiered fashion. The plans for pieces of Raider Power Armor would be found in Raider camps not too far from Sanctuary for instance, while X-01 blueprints would be found as far as a the Glowing Sea on the opposite end of the Commonwealth. Thus giving players reason to actually use Raider Power Armor themselves as opposed to vanilla where the first Power Armor you find is already better than it and there's zero reason to ever use it.

- Any other flourishes the modder wants to add!

The central point is to make Power Armor like it was in every Fallout game before FO4: A late game piece of equipment you could use whenever you wanted once you got it that upped your ability to the level where you could just manage to handle the enemies you'd be facing at this point. As opposed to vanilla where Power Armor is this godly piece of equipment that made you effectively invincible whenever you put some on, needed fusion cores to work in this obviously lore breaking fashion, and was available to use at pretty much the beginning of the game.
