About this mod

More complex workbench recipes requiring specific items, because if you're going to burn your hand off with an acetylene torch, you may as well have built it yourself!

***An ALL-IN-ONE version of my Realistic Construction Recipes series is now available at All-In-One Realistic Construction Recipes

Have you ever been modding your weapons and thought to yourself, "Where did I get this acetylene torch from?  I only hammered a few pieces of steel together to make this bench..."

Not with this mod you won't!

This is part three of my Realistic Construction Recipes series of tweaks, this time focusing on workbenches.

I've always thought the crafting recipes in Fallout 4 were way too simple and lenient, especially when we are spending hours finding virtually a hundred unique pieces of junk in the wasteland.  I had always wished that more crafting recipes required specific items which would logically be required to construct the recipe.  Along with Realistic Construction Recipes - Turrets , Realistic Construction Recipes - Generators, and Realistic Construction Recipes - Lighting, this mod aims to make you feel like you're actually putting together a functional settlement, not slapping a few pieces of steel and wood together.

What It Does:
This mod updates the workbench crafting recipes to include a few objects that the benches would logically require to function (and in some cases, that you can actually see on the models!). With the adjustments, the workbenches should require a little more effort to put together.

I would like to make it so that you get some of these components back when scrapping the benches, not just a handful of steel and wood like before, but the recipe forms themselves do not seem to allow you to control what the scrapping rewards are.  I am new to the Creation Kit, but if I can find out how to edit scrapping rewards I'd like to tweak that too.

Compatibility:
This mod should be compatible with any other mod so long as they do not edit the crafting recipes for the workbenches.

Here are the new recipes for the workbenches.  You may want to make a note of these because of the recipe scroll bug (see "Known Bugs").  The recipes are in the ReadMe as well.
Entries marked with a (*) are my additions to the recipe.

Known Bugs:
-The crafting window is only able to show a certain number of items before scrolling is required, and to my knowledge, even though a scroll arrow appears there is at present no way to actually SCROLL the recipe window.  There is nothing I can do about this, so I have provided the crafting recipes above until either Bethesda fix the bug or a UI mod comes along that does so.

Thank you so much for checking my mod out!
