I plan on adding armorcrafting to the game and want to know the earliest possibility that gecko hides can be tanned and where a leather belt can be consistently found before Primm. I'd like it earlier, but I suppose Prime is still early enough for.an armored vault suit.
Gecko hide tanning and leather belts - how early?

Well, you can actually find them sold by Both Chet and Doc Mitchelle in Goodsprings. I believe you can actually find a Leather Belt somewhere in his house too ... Gecko Hides can be Tanned at the Goodspring Source but you will be required to find Terpentine which is common enough to find but I am unsure how much you will actually find in Goodsprings.
I´ve also made an armor crafting mod for myself and balanced it to allow the creation of MK 1 versions with about level 2-3. Goodsprings and the surrounding area provide enough resources to craft 2-3 gecko hides. While it is random loot & buy, terpentine is common enough. Leather belts are somewhat rare - but so far 1 should be possible to get in the starting area.
btw - leather armors are also available - so you could use them to allow the user to create leather belts via crafting. (same goes for tanned gecko hides)

No, you can't make Armor in the original game they have modded their game via the PCs GECK Fallout Modification Utility. One thing you guys should also mod into your game is making Armor repair kits as that could be quite useful!
Could anybody tell me specifically where the thistle is in Goodsprings that is required for Tanned Gecko Hide?
Breaking down armor to components sounds like a great idea, chewie. Thanks for that. Should broken-down materials be the same as those required to make said armor in the first place? i.e.
Brahmin Outfit, 3x Gecko Hides, Leather Belt, & Wonderglue make Leather Armor
AND
Breaking down a leather armor gives a Brahmin Outfit, 3x Gecko Hides, & Leather Belt (Impossible to recover glue...)
DC: armor repair kits sound like a good idea to me, though I'm not a 3-D artist. I couldn't make a new model for it and that would bother me. I'll have to hunt around and see if there's an unused asset.
