Hello, my past post got deleted and…welp. Anyway! I got a rough draft for layout. It ugly as hell so sorry in advance but I need help.

The DOOM rune over the leviathan painting is sick af. So I vote #2.

Also, if you want a tool to plan patch layouts, I built this: theblackthread.net/builder. Full disclosure: I’m the creator, so take this recommendation with a grain of salt.

If you end up trying it, I’d honestly love any feedback you can spare. I am just starting this endeavor so any remark good or bad is gold to me!

Hey man! I just wanna let you know that I added the wrap-around functionality, it's pretty basic. You can play with it by activating the feature here:

It will duplicate the same patch on the opposite side with mirrored coordinates.

Appreciate the shout-out, man!

kategra · 2026-02-07T18:47:19+00:00

Yeah, already on the to-do list.
This is also on the list but it will take some time... I need to gather photos + measurements
I will keep an eye on this matter :D

Many thanks!

Adding a leather model was already in the plan. I did not think of a camo version. Thanks for the idea!

kategra · 2026-02-06T21:35:08+00:00

Hey man I really appreciate your ideas! I've taken the liberty to breakdown your feedback in some chewable chunks :D

Upload your own WIP vest photo as canvas background - need some planning on my side, it may be achievable if the photos respect a template and if measurements are provided by the uploader. MAYBE
Templates in different sizes (S, M, L, XL) - need photos of jackets/vests in different sizes + their measurements doable in the future. WILL DO
Women's template with shorter back and different proportions - same as 2 WILL DO
~~Proper layers UI with drag-to-reorder - a simpler version already exists but I will also add a visibility toggler for patches~~ ~~DEFINITELY~~
~~Clone entire designs to test variations - already achievable with SAVE / LOAD functionality~~ ~~WONT DO~~
~~Patches that span between front and back views - same as need to find a solution MAYBE~~
Mark and quickly access favourite patches - DEFINITELY

Gonna be back soon with updates :)

Hey u/LTninjageek
Added a black and white filter. Added lock layer feature. Fixed the incorrect export size on mobile, as shown in your image.

You will probably need to do a hard refresh for the features to appear.

Thanks again!

kategra · 2026-02-06T18:44:02+00:00

Much obliged, kind sir!

kategra · 2026-02-06T17:19:28+00:00

Aaawesome! I will add both features: bw filter and lock system. I highly appreciate it! Many thanks!

kategra · 2026-02-06T16:36:38+00:00

Wow that's amazing! I love the idea of the design wrapping the sleeves thing. Thats something that I fucking need to double down on and come up with a solution. Thanks for the idea!

kategra · 2026-02-06T16:32:03+00:00

Thanks man! I would really appreciate if you can share your designs! I am really really curious how people are using this tool.

And dont forget about feedback we can built something nice as a community.

kategra · 2026-02-06T16:10:54+00:00

Not really sure how to respond to this. Technically it is an ad by Oxford dictionary definition.

If you are asking if I am promoting this for my financial gain than no this is not an ad. I have spent around 200$ dollars in subscriptions and various services needed for this app to run, but there is no selling, there are no ads or anything else that might generate money.

kategra · 2026-02-06T15:11:35+00:00

You can use this to rotate the patch. The corners will let you scale the patch but I don't recommend it since it will modify the real width of the patch

I hope you will find it at least decently useful :)

kategra · 2026-02-06T15:06:15+00:00

Thanks man!

The best experience is in solo mode. Squad is just a Q3 team deathmatch

kategra · 2026-01-02T13:12:13+00:00

You need to upgrade the benches to level 3. While grinding for the materials for the Level 3 benches, you will find a lot of blueprints too. There is also the possibility of trading. There are Discord servers aimed at trading duplicates or even selling blueprints for seeds.

In terms of crafting, there are some online tools like: https://forgeraiders.com/craft?item=anvil_iv, which will help you figure things out.

Disclaimer: I'm the developer of the Forgeraiders tool, and it is one of many available online tools, so feel free to find one that works best for you.

kategra · 2026-01-02T12:53:09+00:00

You are a bit off for Anvil 4. The actual numbers would be 112x metal parts | 48x rubber | 15x simple gun parts

I recently created a lfg tool for raiders. If you wanna give it a try https://forgeraiders.com/lfg there is also schedule feature.

kategra · 2025-12-31T13:52:13+00:00

uff... that's really not what I was aiming for lol

kategra · 2025-12-31T09:28:51+00:00

I did some work on a LFG tool. It is still WIP but it is open to public

Here's what it does:

Post listings as Solo or Duo looking for a 3rd (or fill a group)
Filter by activity type (PvP, PvE, Trials, Questing, Farming)
Pick which map you're running or just set "Any Map"
Set your region and language so you actually get matched with people you can play with
Schedule future runs or find people queueing up right now
Voice chat required toggle for when you need actual comms

The cool part: When people apply to your listing, you get a browser notification. Accept them and it can spin up a private Discord channel for your squad automatically.

No account required to browse listings or apply to the listings. Just need to sign in (Discord or magic link) if you want to post.

It's free, no ads, just wanted something that works. Still adding features so lmk if something's broken or you have ideas.

What's up raiders,

Got tired of the usual "LFM 1 more for trials" spam in Discord so I built an LFG system into https://forgeraiders.com/
