Casings
There is a random chance to gain an empty casing/hull every time you shoot. The percentage chances were taken directly from New Vegas, with the exception of the .32 rounds which were not present in NV, which I have set to the same percentage chance as 10mm rounds.

There are boxes for cases, which give 25 cases/hulls of that particular ammo type, as well as primer boxes. Some can be found scattered across the wasteland and vendors may also sell them. [More boxes will be added around the wasteland in future updates]

Reloading Bench
As of 2.0b, a Reloading Bench is included. Reloading Benches are used to make Ballistic Ammo, while Workbenches are used for recycling Energy Ammo. In every location that a Workbench exists, a Reloading Bench can be found nearby. (With the exception of Player Homes - coming in a future update)

Drained Energy Ammunition
Just like with ballistic ammo, when firing an energy weapon, there is an occassional chance for you to obtain a drained counterpart of whatever ammo the weapon uses.

Primer and Powder Packs
The Primer and Power Packs from Old World Blues has been added. They can be found in certain areas around the wasteland and are also sold by Flak and Shrapnel, Lucky Harith and Pronto at higher levels. They are sold in Point Lookout by Madam

Recipes
Recipes are taken directly from New Vegas, including breakdown and conversion recipes. They also have skill requirements of either Repair (For Ballistic Ammunition) or Science(For Energy Ammunition). The skill requirements have been slightly increased, as the New Vegas Requirements seemed far too low. It is not a large increase, however. They also have descriptions that I felt fit the game. Try right clicking!

Perks
The Hand Loader and Vigilant Recycler perk from New Vegas have been brought over, to an extent. Hand Loader doubles the chance for you to get an empty casing/hull and Vigilant Recycler doubles the chance for you to get a drained equivalent of any energy ammunition as well as making the recycling recipes slightly cheaper.

Leveled List Integration
You will find cases/hulls and drained energy ammo on the bodies of enemies who were using said ammunition.

Vendor Integration
Vendors will sometimes have empty cases or drained energy ammunition which can be obtained at no cost.



Compatibility
Cases will be given for modded weapons that use vanilla ammunition. Non-vanilla ammunition will not produce cases. Compatibility patches may be made for certain mods if requested.

IMPORTANT: This mod makes a direct edit to Flak and Shrapnel in order to allow them to sell Misc items so that the mod items show up.
