[SKY] Creating A New Weapon Material

[DZL21]

I am currently wokring on a mod for school where we are creating a brand new weapon material. We have it so our new weapons show up in-game, you can mine our new material, craft ingots of our new material and succesfully create and temper our weapons at the forge but I cannot seem to figure out how to make the forge display a new material type category. Right now I have all of them show up under the Iron category. Is it possible for the forge to disply a new material category?

I don't believe so. That would require modifications to the HUD to display it.

(someone can correct me if I'm wrong)

Sadly the forge categories are hard-coded in the engine, and (from what i've heard) you can rename the categories, but then you're eliminating the possibility of mod compatibility. Bethesda added more slots with the release of their DLCs, but I think they took them all.

The latest update to Immersive Armors includes a custom forge category I believe. It might be worth downloading it and seeing how it was done
