Tired of collecting all those empty bottles and having no use for them? Outside of their one use in Survival mode, empty glass bottles serve no specific purpose and aren't very valuable -- until now! Be the best recycler in the Commonwealth! 

Adds a Bottle Deposit Machine to various locations throughout the Commonwealth, which allows you to deposit any empty glass bottles from your inventory into the machine, receiving a small amount of caps for each bottle, just like real bottle deposit machines.

The number of caps you receive per bottle is based off having specific perks, not charisma level. Perfect for low charisma builds.

No perks: 5 caps per bottle.

Each additional rank to the perks below adds +1 cap per bottle:
   * Cap Collector
   * Fortune Finder
   * Scrapper

With max rank in "Cap Collector", "Fortune Finder", and "Scrapper", you can receive 15 caps back per bottle (14 + 1 extra cap for maxing out the ranks).

You can find a Bottle Deposit Machine in these specific locations:
   * Cambridge Police Station
   * Copley Station
   * Fens Square
   * Super-Duper Mart
   * Boston Airport
   * Vault 81
   * General Atomics
   * Goodneighbor
   * And more! Generally, you can find them around similar vending machines such as the Milk Vending Machine.

Additional Features:
   * Override the Bottle Deposit Machine with the Hacker 4 perk and gain the ability to:
      - Adjust base pay-out per bottle
      - Adjust additional perk pay-out per bottle (Ex: +2 caps per perk)
  
   * Choose how many bottles to deposit, or deposit all at once.
   
   * Track how many total bottles you've deposited in all machines.
   
   * Choose specific bottle types to not deposit (Ex: you like to keep Nuka-Cola bottles or vodka bottles). The list is completely customizable.
   
   * Optional file that disables the requirement to have Hacker 4 to override the machine.

Notes:
  • Optional, but I highly recommend Valdicil's Item Sorting (VIS), with the option for "MiscWeightless". This will put all your empty bottles into a "Bottles" subcategory under the "Aid" tab so you can easily check them and won't junk them by accident. "MiscWeightless" will make the bottles weightless in your inventory so you can collect as many as you want.
  • This mod perfectly complements any of the various mods that adds an empty glass bottle to your inventory after consuming a drink, such as "Give Me That Bottle".
  • Compatible with all other mods, doesn't overwrite any vanilla forms. Let me know if you experience any problems.

Updates:
1.1: Removed the requirement to have hacker 4 to even deposit bottles (this was not the intended behavior). You can now deposit bottles without needing any perks.


Installation:

Just like any other mod (NMM or manual), load order shouldn't matter.
 
Upcoming Features:
  • Constructible Bottle Deposit Machine for settlements
  • Add a new optional (Overridable via "Hacker 4") feature where the Bottle Deposit Machine has limited storage capacity and can only take in X amount of bottles per Y days. Otherwise you have to find a different Bottle Deposit that's not full.
  • Retexture the Bottle Deposit Machine
  • Option to choose prewar money as the output instead of caps (less of it though because prewar money is considerably more valuable)
