DISCLAIMER: This mod is not in active development and I'm not very active on the nexus. There wont be any new features implemented nor will potential bugs be fixed, at least not for the foreseeable future, I simply do not have enough spare time on my hands. Feel free to make suggestions and report bugs anyway but know that I will probably not be the one to fix them. I made this mod for myself a few month ago and figured maybe someone else would like to use it. The mod is provided "AS IS" without guarantee of any kind of support.
Also, this mod does not strive to be realistic. I'm well aware that most explosives wouldn't trigger by being shot, or hit, or whatever; there's no need to point that out.
Description
This mod allows you to trigger explosives by shooting them or hitting them, and also by chaining explosions together.
This mod does not require Nuka World but if Nuka World is installed it will work with the new items.
You can specify a few conditions for what should trigger an explosion using a holotape named "[Settings] Unstable Explosives" which is given to the player when the mod is initialized.

(See list further down for "Cryo weapons")

Known Issues or Bugs
- Explosives triggered by shooting, hitting or chained explosions will not make friendly NPCs hostile.
- Bashing an explosive item with a gun, rifle, etc. will cause it to explode regardless of [Melee Trigger] setting. This is due to issues with Papyrus.
- Bottlecap Mines will always be triggered by Melee and Unarmed weapons regardless of [Melee Trigger] setting
- Bottlecap Mines are NOT triggered by thrown Gas/Cryo/Pulse grenades or active Cryo/Pulse mines regardless of [Gas/Cryo/Pulse Trigger] setting.
- Smart Fragmentation Grenades that explode any other way than throwing them will damage their user.
- Fragmentation Grenade MIRV trigger nearby explosives based on the "spread blast" rather than the individual cluster explosions.
- Due to the pretty inefficient method for triggering nearby explosives (a result of Papyrus limitations) large piles of explosives does not trigger simultaneously. Rather, the first explosion sends the rest of the objects flying and exploding all over the place. See video below for an example.
