DEPRECATED
With !skins updating to 1.3.5, this error is fixed internally and this temporary patch no longer has any reason to exist. The old description will remain up for informative purposes, but otherwise it is useless. It is likely I request this mod to be removed from the portal at some point. Do not use this mod!
Old Description
Note: This mod is an external patch to Castra, so Castra is the only one required as a dependency. You should be able to use any skin selector and it should work (Verified working ones are listed as optional dependencies). Simply throw this mod on top of your current Castra pack with skins and you're good to go!
What is it?
Castra Crafting Fix is a small mod that fixes a compatibility error between Castra and !skins (Skins Factored). Currently, !skins has an issue with adding starting modded categories to the character. Other mods like CharacterModHelper, and MiniMAXIMe do not cause this, so they can freely be used on top of this mod or as a workaround if !skins isn't necessary.
Why?
In the current version of Castra, many recipes including default military recipes are moved into a new crafting category called "castra-crafting" and "castra-electronics". These crafting categories are given to the default Engineer player prototype, but none of the extra ones added by skin selectors. This mod simply forces those specific "castra categories" to also be applied to any extra skins at the end of loading.
Original Author Status
It is unknown if this is temporary fix as the Castra developer has seen this error report 3 months ago, but has also not updated the planet at all in the past 3 months, so they may just be busy, but I'm implementing this external fix for now. If Bartz24 returns and fixes this bug internally, it is highly likely that this mod will become deprecated.
Castra Only! (Compatibility)
The mod is hard-coded to add these specific categories to any character prototype, so if these crafting categories change in an update the mod may not work anymore. This is for maximum compatibility purposes with other mods, as this one will have zero effect on anything other than allowing you to craft the broken Castra recipes.
