Version 1.4
*Modified Molotov Cocktail once again. Less boom, more burn.

Version 1.3
*Added
Grenade Frequency 15, 30 (recommended), 45, 60
Reduces the frequency of thrown explosives from NPCs.
It seems that NPC don't have a cooldown on throwing explosives, which may lead to a spam of explosives. This plugin sets a cooldown for NPCs, so that they wait at least 15, 30, 45, 60 seconds until they may throw again something at you.
Version 1.2.1
Fixed FOMod installer
Version 1.2
Version 1.2 has been uploaded.
It re-adds the More Resistant Power Armor changes.
Two versions are available: 15 & 30
Choose 30 when you play at normal/BLD DD experimental version.
When you play on lower difficulties, you may want to choose the 15 version.
How does it work?
Depending on how strong your power armor is, you may can completely negate any explosion damage you take. But when your are gets broken. More and more parts get destroyed, you will start taking damage/taking more damage. Weak power armors, are still vulnerable. (550 Armors) They may survive the splash damage, but not a direct grenade. It depends on the explosion type. You definitly want to run from a nuka grenade, as it is high deadly, even in your power armor, but your chances, that you survive with a good power armor, are better than without.
Version 1.1
*Fixed a bug, that caused explosives deal more damage than they should.
Version 1.0
An overhaul has been done!
Grenades now differ.
*Fragmentation Grenades now have a larger area of impact. The damage Radius is a little better higher than the visuals. Less standing directly next to a grenade explosion.
*Plasma Grenades more damage than a Fragmentation Grenade, but less radius.
*Cryo less damage, increased freeze time. Now you can freeze a pack of enemies and finish them off one by one or use it to slow down big enemies.
*Nuka Grenade well..... throw it, run into the opposite direction and enjoy the show.
*Mines deal slightly less damage and have less radius than grenades. All effects listed above apply to mines as well.
*Mines fixed, they now have an own explosion. Bethesda used the same explosion of all mines expect of fragmentation and bottlecaps. It didn't matter if it was a grenade or a mine. They did the same thing.
*Missile Launcher has a larger damage radius then before.
*Fat Man, dont use it for close combat is my adivse. It's really strong and has a large area of effect. Higher than Nuka Grenades. The damage zone is higher than the visuals.
*Demolition Perks
Because of the changes above i removed the 25% increased radius from perks, otherwise you would kill yourself really often... believe me that, i tested it. Often.
The range was removed and grenades now do more damage to limbs, when enemies survive, they are really fucked up now, as they should be.
These changes also apply to enemies. So be extremly careful. Yes you may end up dead, because raiders spam that shit, i'll look into that. It's a bug and hopefully Bethesda will do something about that.
These changes are still in testing, but i wanted to release something new and also get some feedback.
!!Backup your old files, as i just accidently deleted the old ESPs!!
There are imbalances i'm aware of that. That all will be fixed overtime.

Version 0.3
*Found a value, which wasn't rounded.
*Cleaned all 3 esps.
No major changes were made.
Version 0.2
Many changes were done!
*Damage has been adjusted to a slightly lower level on both versions.
*Direct Damage has been lowered, to reduce one shots on large creatures (Especially when used with Locational Damage Mods)
Molotovs direct damage was also lowered and now depends more on the burning damage type
*Values are now rounded. No more 601 Damage. (which was the standard from Bethesda, i maybe forgot some values to correct, please report, if you see any)
Radius of explosions has been increased: (on both versions!)
FragGren 150 to 200
PlasmaGren 150 to 200
NukaGren 300 to 350
Missile Launchers 150 to 250
Fat Man 300 to 400
Force has been normalized (pushback effect of the explosion)
For example the NukaGren has a force of 20 000; Fat Man has a force of 2 000. Seems to be a typo from Bethesda.
