A solution to the fusion core problem.


Description
A creation to solve my hate for how fusion cores work, currently changes and additions include:

• A new workbench that allows for the creation of normal fusion cores as well as 4 others with varying drain speeds
• Changes the ammo of the Gatling Laser from Fusion Cores to a new Gatling Fusion Cell, complete with ammo conversions.
• A Free Form Quest for Perpetual Fusion Core Schematics.

Perpetual Fusion Core
The never ending core you always wanted!
Will never drop below 99%
Requires Perpetual Fusion Core Schematics found threw free form quest and 4 Improved Fusion Cores to create.
*The quest starts with a note found at Hardware Town (Southwest of Diamond City) and should be pretty easy to follow.
**Recipe will not show up at the workbench until you have the schematics. 

Fusion Core to Gatling Fusion Cell Conversion
Each rank of the Nuclear Physicist will allow to you use a better convert rank. 
Perk Rank 0-3 = Convert Rank 1-4
*Only the highest usable convert rank will show up in the menu (yay for less clutter!). 
The chart below shows how much ammo is given per each core consumed vs each convert rank.

Installation
Recommend using NMM, and install as any other mod.


Changes
v1.5 - Cleaned up the conversion menus...alot...few bug fixes and other optimizations as well.
v1.4 - Added Perpetual Fusion Core and Quest, New custom workbench, Fixed ordering of ammo conversions.
v1.3 - Changed Gatling Laser ammo to new "Gatling Fusion Cells", LVLI changed so NPC's linked to it will still have ammo and fire away , new texture for the new ammo, and edit to Gatling Lasers mesh so reload animation would work with new ammo texture.
v1.2 - Added Re-Texture of Workbench


Development
Cores turn into components for new cores upon depletion (rechargeable)
Fusion Core Ejector fix - See side project for now: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/8226/?
Create Custom Workbench Mesh
Quest Line for a Perpetual Fusion Core
Re texture Vanilla and Custom Cores
Re-texture Chemistry Workbench - Released in version 1.2 
Gatling Laser Fix  Released in version 1.3 


Misc Info
Mainly adds new items, and should be compatible with everything.
