Description
————————————–
Made with FO4Edit.

I have, from the first time I saw them, felt the requirements for the crafting workbenches made no sense. The Perk, “Local Leader 2”, has nothing to do with making the items the benches make, so how are you suddenly able to build these things when you become a better leader, even if you don’t know one end of a weapon mod from the other? Why do you need to be a good leader to put a pot over a fire? As far as I’m concerned this is just Bethesda being rushed, putting no thought into it, or just being plain lazy. This mod attempts to fix this this.

What I have tried to do is change the perk requirements in a way that makes sense, but doesn’t (much) change the character level needed, or the number of perk levels required. In some cases, for cooking stations, I didn’t think a perk was needed at all. Here are the changes:

Armor Bench – Armorer 2 (level 13)
Chemistry Station (all) – Science! 1 (level 1) and Chemist 1 (level 1)
Cooking Station (all) – none
Power Armor Station – Science! 2 (level 17) and Armorer 2 (level 13)
Weapon Workbench (all) – Gun Nut 2 (level 13)

For reference, normally Local Leader 2 requires level 14 to take and when they need perks you still need two, so the game balance should be preserved.

Tested in game. Worked perfectly.
