;===========BUGFIXES======================= + Knife sharpeners no longer grant satiety in survival mode. + Stimpaks are no longer consumed while taking blood samples.
;===========COMPATIBILITY PATCHES======================= Added compatibility patch for Damn Apocalypse mod - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/33812 If you are using DamnApocalypse_Loot.esp / DamnApocalypse_Radiation.esp modules, don't forget to put them above IHO in your load order.
Version 4.0
;===========CODE====================== Rewrote code almost from scratch. A lot of changes under the hood. Bacause of this, updating from v3.2-final to v4.0 is not possible. Fully delete v3.2-final before installing v4.0 or even better, start a new save.
;===========NEW FEATURES======================= + Food and drink spoilage mechanic. Which based on ingame time cycles. Not perfect like in 76, but very doable. For survival experience. MCM options included
+ Challenges with unlockable bonuses and items, based on IHOs concept. In the future i can add even more. MCM options included
+ Wastelands Showroom module. Brings new trophy type items to your workshop. Stands, Plints, Cages, New Wall Mounts with snappable points, Taxidermied creatures, Statued Robots and etc. Great companion for the main IHO module. Can be used separately.
;===========CHANGES & ADDITIONS======================= + Disposing now fully works as intended without breaking respawn points. I used ashspawn script as a base. Basically when your are disposing corpses now, they just become invisible and thats it. After a cell reset engine handles them on its own. Just keep in mind this.
+ Reverted changes to food items heal effects, now they all vanilla again, although implemented a toggle for disabling heal effects alltogether.
+ Visual changes to car salvaging
+ Added motocycles to salvage list
+ Now when salvaging wrecked virtibirds, they don't add items straight to your inventory. Instead they spawn a little toolboxes near their wreckages with a loot inside. Toolbox then despawns after 2 minutes.
+ Vertibirds wreckages which can be found in the world also can be salvaged now.
+ Total Hack perk now is needed to disable the turrets. Before it was Robotics Expert.
+ Implemented a couple of new workshop items, two of them as a challenge unlock. Compost Bin, Sicilian Espresso Machine, Bottle & Cappy "Good Luck" Machine.
+ Implemented Deployable "Helios-One" turret as a challenge unlock. It needs 5mm ammo, tons of it. Repair kits, and love. Don't betray it, or it will shoot you on sight.
;===========BUGFIXES======================= + Some fixes to bonuses on cooked items and maybe something else. I just don't remember already.
;===========COMPATIBILITY PATCHES======================= Full compatibility with Mutant Menagerie + All its DLC Updated patches for Turkeys/Capital Wasteland creatures.
;===========KNOWN ISSUES======================= + Wastelands Showroom module >>> sometimes after placing objects and then changing their place, they can leave invisible collision. I did not see this happen with vanilla items at least. Just save this object to your workshop and put it again, this will fix the situation. Not a gamebreaker, but still don't get it why this happens. Maybe i borked something while used 3DSMax, or did something not correctly. If someone have info about this moment i will very appreciate if you tell me.
Version 3.2-Final
;===========NEW FEATURES======================= + Blown up Vertibirds can be salvaged now, in the wreckage you can find useful resources, items, ammo. Works same like with robots/synths/cars: disassembly wrench + toolkit.
P.S Vertibirds & Cars will not have common container windows at least of the time being. Not because i don't want them, i tried to make them btw, but because they are not worth my time. As I found, they are very finicky and not so easy to make without interrupting core of the plugin and not using method like in Lootable Cars And Trucks. And i don't want to bloat/redo a plugin for such a low price. If i find a better and quite lighter solution for this, definitely will implement it. . ;===========CHANGES & ADDITIONS======================= + Hermitcrab Hatchlings now also have meat.
+ Tweaked meat quantities in the leveled lists.
+ Better synced animations with sound effects in 3rd/1st person.
+ Robot/Synth self-destruct routine will not initiate in the middle of some animations/before animations ends.
+ Removed some things from the plugin. From v3.2-Final they are not needed anymore.
;===========BUGFIXES======================= + Fixed some invisible Nukalurks.
+ Added mini-fix-code script "MirelurkAmbushArtScript.pex" from Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch v2.1.3 If you are using UFO4P or not, it doesn't matter. It is the same file/same fix and no harm.
Version 3.1-Final
;===========CHANGES & ADDITIONS======================= + Every knife that has AnimsStabWeapon keyword, now again can be used for butchering process, but with durability mechanic on top. It was a obviously dumb move from my side to assign only one knife for this process. The durability mechanic applies to all knives at the same time. That is, if you brought one, for example to 26% and then took another, then the latter will also be 26%. If I will find a way (very lightweight way, without big compatibility issues or any at all) to make each knife tracking separately including from the other mods, i definitely gonna do it. But for now it is as it is. However system works 150% solid and i am pretty satisfied with it.
+ Knife sharpener kit "Vault-Blade" now gives 200% to total sharpness, before it gave only 150% max.
+ All types of Knife sharpeners will not be consumed anymore if the knife is not in your hand.
+ Basic knife sharpeners will not be consumed anymore if the knife has 100% of total sharpness, and Vault-Blade sharpeners will not be consumed anymore if the knife has 200% of total sharpness.
+ Added notification about total knife sharpness after knife sharpener usage.
+ Added new sound fx for disassembling process like drilling sounds, wrench sounds, toolbox sounds and a several more. Appropriate animations have suitable sounds for them.
+ Added additional sounds for robots/synths blow up process like robotic-evil-death-laugher, evil beeping and etc (all sounds are from automatron DLC, so everything is in theme).
+ Changed sound volume on several sound effects.
+ Vault-boy clip which triggers after robot/synth dissasemble failure now turned OFF by default.
+ Added different Vault-Boy clip for the knife dulling.
;===========MCM=======================
+ Changed some descriptions in the MCM menu.
+ Added one new toggle for: IDLES & VISUAL FX: Action >>>> Knifehater: Toggles Vault-Boy clip and sound effect when the knife is completely blunt.
Version 3.0-Final
;===========INSTALL / UPDATING NOTES============== To Users who will be updating i suggest to fully uninstall v2.0.5-Final before installing v3.0-Final. In the latest version there were made a lot of reorganization in scripting. Basically I moved all main functions from the PERK to the QUEST as it should be in the beginning and did a lot of changes to scripts, properties and etc. Now everything looks fine and dandy and it will stay like that for the future.
To other Users who will install for the first time or goes for the fresh start, then everything is simple >>> just Plug N' Play
;===========CODE====================== + Reorganized main functions, rewrote and changed a lot of code, properties, effects. System works faster and more efficient now.
;===========NEW FEATURES==============
(===HUNTING KNIFE===) + Unique Hunting Knife with dulling mechanic and with some neat modifications and paintjobs. From now on it will be your best friend for butchering and harvesting ingredients from slain animals and creatures. All other knifes become obsolite and not suitable. But it is quite top tier knife, so it can be used and also be a powerful killer even in the late game. Added Hunting Knife sharpening kits. With each use, the knife will become duller, and if you bring its condition to zero, you will no longer be able to butcher. Therefore, these special sharpening kits will be very useful.
+ New option to bind a key for Hunting Knife status checking.
P.S As it stands right now, do not try to craft or get several knifes to mitigate dulling mechanic. It will not work, made for balance reasons, otherwise there will be no need in sharpening kits as to make new knife is a lot cheaper. So basically you need only one hunting knife for butchering. And ofcource you can craft it for you companions too, i will not stop you.
(===POISONS===) + New Vegas poisons for melee weapons. There is a new component "Poison" which can get be from stingwing barbs, radscorpions stingers, mirelurk/nukalurk queens carapaces, Rat Poison items and some other several creatures if you are using Mutant Menagerie or Turkey Mods. Poison is a MUST to craft these dangerous bottles. With each rank of Chemist perk their effectiveness and dosage per hit will raise.
1 RANK: All poisons are 10% more effective and have 2 doses. 2 RANK: All poisons are 20% more effective and have 4 doses. 3 RANK: All poisons are 30% more effective and have 6 doses. 4 RANK: All poisons are 40% more effective and have 8 doses.
Bleak Venom: Coats weapon with deadly poison -12HP/10s.
Cloud Kiss: Coats weapon with potent poison -9HP/10s. Poisoned targets get frenzied for 10 seconds.
Dark Datura: Coats weapon with the weakest poison -3HP/10s. Poisoned targets get decreased accuracy and attack damage for 10 seconds.
Mother Darkness: Coats weapon with potent poison -9HP/10s. Poisoned targets get paralysed for 10 seconds.
Silver Sting: Coats weapon with moderate poison -7HP/10s. Poisoned targets get reduced damage resistance for 10 seconds.
Tremble: Coats weapon with weak poison -5HP/10s. Each hit on poisoned targets has a chance to knock out their weapon.
;===========CHANGES & ADDITIONS======================= + Chance of harvesting better ingredients now calculates by >>>>> Formula: Mult * (PER + LUCK) / 2, before it was a plain chance.
+ Chance of Robot/Synth self destruction routine while salvaging now calculates by >>>>> Formula: Mult / (AGL + INT * 2), before it was a plain chance.
+ Chance of Toolset breakage now calculates by >>>>> Formula: Mult / (LUCK + AGL * 2), before it was a plain chance.
+ Butchering experience calculates by >>>>> Formula: INT * Mult1 * ActorButcherXP / Mult2, before it was a plain chance.
+ Robot/Synth salvaging experience calculates by >>>>> Formula: INT * Mult1 * ActorSalvageXP / Mult2, before it was a plain chance.
+ Car/Truck salvaging experience calculates by >>>>> Formula: INT * Mult1 * ActorCarSalvageXP / Mult2, before it was a plain chance.
+ Blood Sampling experience calculates by >>>>> Formula: INT * Mult1 * ActorSamplingXP / Mult2, before it was a plain chance.
+ Blood can also be harvested from supermutants and ghouls.
+ Added crafting category for IHO tools.
+ Added different explosion like cryo, plasma, emp to the pool of existing ones which robots and synth are using when blow up.
+ Changed a lot of visual and sound fx for butchering, salvaging processes.
+ Different creatures now have different blood pools like for example Bloatflies previously had red pools of blood and now they have more squishy goo. Robots and synths have oil pools after salvaging and subtle sparks.
+ Added a little subtle twitch effect to the bodies/carcasses after finishing butchering/salvaging process.
+ Dismemberment on animals/creatures is now set to OFF by default, but still can be enabled in the MCM. A lot of people did not like it. But because of the new visuals effects and tweaks to them, i am even don't mind. Now in my game it is also set to OFF hehe.
+ A lot of tweaks and changes to leveled list, crafting recipes, ingredients, food.
+ Changed some logic in acquiring meat amount.
+ Changed amount and type of ingredients for Spices recipe. Now it is easier to make.
+ Removed salt, pepper, spices from even more cooking recipes or reduced their amount for crafting significantly. As a reminder >>> food additives can be found in loot, bought from the vendors and can be unlocked permanently through finding recipe.
+ Significanly lowered radiation poisoning from cooked food, raw food, healthy food, plants and etc. Now it is not so hardcore. Keep in mind that if you don't like cooked food rads poisoning, this can be disabled in the MCM.
+ Changed prices and component yield to almost all items that can be get from butchering and salvaging. Mostly decreased.
+ From robots and synths can be salvaged better components.
+ Now you will get only basic ingredient/component or ideal variant from butchering/salvaging, not both items like before.

P.S. Capital Wasteland Yao Guai and Capital Wasteland Radscorpions are working from the box, patch is not needed.
Version 2.0.5-Final
;===========BUG FIXES============== + Fixed the inability to butcher some creatures under some circumstances, for example, when target was killed by an explosion and its corpse flew away. Precicely, removed "GetDistance" conditions from the main perk. In the beginning it was there to make your character be near your fallen target when activating actions to make animations look not so awkward. But after playtesting and user reports, it works not so well and can bug.
+ Removed Disable/Delete function from robot and synth bodies after self-destructing. It was causing respawn bug. Unintended leftover.
+ Fixed Disposer effects not toggling on/off.
;===========CHANGES======================= + Tweaked some vanilla low tier cooking recipes. Removed salt/pepper/spices from them. + Tweaked leveled lists for mailboxes (removed additives and drinks) and added cooking recipes which also can be found in news stands.
;===========BUG FIXES============== + Fixes Actions: Salvaging, Disabling Turrets, Butchering, Taking Blood Samples on a newly spawned character/targets. Before these action were blocked/not possible on a newly spawned targets.
;===========MCM======================= + Added new toggle
=== NEW TOGGLES + Disposer Tools: Toggles disposing effects. WARNING! The effect has a detrimental effect on the respawn of NPCs, characters after removing their bodies will not respawn in the future. Use at your own risk or only when truly needed.
P.S At the moment it is not possible, or I am dumb and just did not find a way to do it, but testing shows that deleting corpses with Disable/MarkForDelete or through scripting Disable()/Delete() (like in Disposer Tools scripts) breaks character respawn, at least for that characters which are added straight to the world/place/cell, like Actors, not trough script or leveled list) Basically engine did not fond of deleting corpses by your hands and wants to play by his rules, through his respawn flags. So better safe than sorry, use this disposing tools only when it is truly needed. I will try to find a workaround, but not guarantee anything.
;===========COMPATIBILITY PATCHES======================= IHO_MutantMenagerie.esp / IHO_MutantTurkey.esp / IHO_Turkey.esp are fully updated for IHO v2.0.4-Final
Version 2.0.3-Final
;===========FEATURES============== + Added new models for salt, pepper, sugar and spices and everything nices. Big kudos and credits to RyceKaeks for his Modder's Resource https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/48227 , and Yeoldewar for giving me the link.
;===========COMPATIBILITY PATCHES======================= IHO_MutantMenagerie.esp / IHO_MutantTurkey.esp / IHO_Turkey.esp are fully updated for IHO v2.0.3-Final
;===========MODULAR VERSION======================= + Updated to v2.0.3-Final + Added full Russian translation. Добавлен полный русский перевод. + Separated Cooking Pot from Hunting/Cooking Module and removed it from them. Now cooking pot has its own module. + Removed Disposal Tools from Hunting & Salvaging Module. If you want them back please install separate module.
;===========MODULAR VERSION CHANGES======================= + For salvaging mech targets you need Utility Wrench (before was named Disassembly Wrench), for disposing mech targets - Disassembly Wrench (New item, which can be crafted). This change was neceseary due to Disposal Tools separate module. Although Utility Wrench can be easly patched to have same behavior like before.
Version 2.0.2-Final
;===========BUG FIXES============== + Added another condition check to the main scripts for actions. Before, if you were fast enough (bashed spacebar like a madman) could get more ingredients from targets than intended (like x2)
;=====COMPATIBILITY PATCHES======== + IHO_MutantMenagerie.esp / IHO_MutantTurkey.esp / IHO_Turkey.esp are fully updated for IHO v2.0.2-Final
Version 2.0.1-Final
;===========NEW FEATURES============== + Added Splitting Grenade. It can be used to dispose big piles of corpses in a big radius.
;===========LOCALIZATION============== + Добавлен полностью русский перевод как основного мода так и патчей + MCM
!P.S. Для полной синергии с переводом (если вы используете патчи совместимости для Mutant Menagerie, Mojave Mantises, Mojave Geckos, The Famished, Lamprey Floaters, Institute Centaurs) необязательно, но рекомендуется скачать переведённые их версии из списка ниже.

IHO_MutantMenagerie.esp / IHO_MutantTurkey.esp / IHO_Turkey.esp Fully updated for IHO v2.0.1-Final
Version 2.0 Final
Thanks to everyone who liked my mod, and to everyone in whose heart it found a response. v2.0 will be the final version. Mod is fully feature completed, at least for now. I WANT TO PLAY THIS DAMN GAME LIKE A HUMAN, NOT TO MOD IT LIKE A SYNTH! HeHehe. Still if there are will be any bugs, will try to fix them. Also maybe do some little tweaks here and there, but nothing more.
So yeah, list of changes. Let's go. ======================================
;===========NEW FEATURES============== + Car salvaging. With a Toolkit, Disassemble Wrench and Scrapper Perk you get the ability to salvage all kinds of cars and trucks (except destroyed ones or ones that have specific damaged model) + Turret disabling. With a Toolkit, Disassemble Wrench and Robotics Expert Perk you get the ability to disable unaware turrets. + Toolkit. Can be crafted, found in tool boxes or bought from generic vendors. It is needed to salvage mechanical targets and cars, disable turrets. By default has a chance to break, this feature can be toggled on and off in the MCM menu.
;===========CODE====================== + Rewrote a lot of code in main perk script. System works faster and more efficient now. + Trashed away whole code in disposer script. Made it far more simpler, thus it works faster now.
;===========MCM======================= + Refreshed and updated MCM menu with new toggles
=== NEW TOGGLES
=== Dismember Category Toggle Dismember on Mechanical Targets when salvaging them.
=== Gameplay Category Toggle a chance based break of Toolset when salvaging Cars/Mechanical targets or when disabling Turrets.
!Note: Just for disabling or for compatibility with other mods such as Damn Apocalypse/Horizon and other instances when loot menu does not appear. But keep in mind that in this case such mods must take priority in you load order.
=== Animation Category Toggle to play (Pip-boy Scrapper) clip and sound when Toolset breaks. Toggle animations when taking blood samples. Toggle animations when disabling turrets. Toggle animations when salvaging cars. Toggle animations when butchering animals/creatures. Animation set for small animals/creatures like Rabbits, Chicken, Radroaches and etc. Toggle animations when butchering animals/creatures. Animation set for bigger animals/creatures like Radstags, Dogs, Molerats and etc. Toggle animations when butchering animals/creatures. Animation set for the biggest animals/creatures like Milelurks, Radscorpions, Yao-Guais and etc. Toggle animations when salvaging mechanical targets. Animation set for the small mechanical targets like Assaultrons, Eyebots, Synths. Toggle animations when salvaging mechanical targets. Animation set for the big mechanical targets like Sentrybots, Robobrains.
!Note: As you know IHO introduces pool of animations to your actions. I did not find any way to make animations aligne with the carcass/body perfectly. Most likely this is not possible at all. But I like them as it is nonetheless. Still I made toggles for users who don't like them. With this toggles animations can be fully disabled.
;===========BUGFIXES======================= + Fixed rads/poison damage when butchering some animals/creatures. Before, damage was constant and did not respond to your rad/poison resistances and now it is fixed. + Fixed Butcher, Disassemble (now renamed to Salvage) button prompts which could apply on wrong targets. Like Butcher prompt on synths, or disassemble on animals.
;===========CHANGES & ADDITIONS======================= + Additionaly added second stage to Hunters Luck. If you have 10+ LUCK, chances to find better ingredients (Ideal/Perfect) increases even more. + For Robot/Synth Salvaging you need Scrapper Perk instead of Robotics Expert Perk. + For Car/Robot/Synth Salvaging Toolkit is also needed. + Added a couple of more animations to the pool.
;===========QaL IMPROVEMENTS======================= + If you were in first-person mode when you were butchering, salvaging and etc, then after the animation camera will go back to first-person state. + Now all contents, components, ingredients will be found on Carcasses/Bodies (except blood samples, you get them in same manner as before), before they were added straight to your inventory. Now you can select what to take.
=== IHO_MutantMenagerie.esp / IHO_MutantTurkey.esp Fully updated for v1.2. Mutant Menagerie author added Radhorner Milk, so I intergrated milking system for Radhorners too. In Mutant Menagerie By default Radhorners are agressive and will flee like the vanilla Radstags. So you need them to pacify at first with Animal Friend Perk, Pacify Syringes and etc.
=== IHO_Turkey.esp Fully updated.
Version 1.4
Fixed little oversight with opening Caps Stashes.
Test Tubes no more a misc item, instead it is a weapon type item and belongs to a appropriate category. Equips like normal weapon. This change was necessary due a loot menu conflicting with it self, when there was Test Tubes in the inventory and equipped knife simultaneously. And like a bonus you will never accidentaly put those tubes like a junk.
Now you can take Blood Samples from animals and humans. From this blood you can craft blood bags. Like in the case with Glowing Blood, you still need a chemist perk.
Buffed Glowing Blood Samples. Now they also give acid and antiseptic.
Glowing Blood Samples now have different texture.
After consuming Blood Pack And/Or Glowing Blood Pack, you will get Empty Blood Pack.
All compatibility patches and modular version are up to date.
From now on all compatibility patches will be inside MAIN Archive.
When diassembling robots and synths (except turrets) they can initiate (it is chance based) self destruct sequence. When this happens, oh well, run forest run. In this case you will not receive any parts. MCM toggle for this feature also available.
Add MCM toggle for radiation, when collecting glowing blood from glowing creatures. If you don't like this feature, now you can disable it.
Tweaked radiation from taking glowing blood.
Changed radiation shaderFX when struck by rad/poison creatures and when taking blood samples.
Fixed Cooking and Hunting module in modular version. Now they should work. But they need to be reinstalled.
Version 1.2.1
Fixed all types of Nukalurks. Now they are visible again.
Version 1.2
Added MCM toggle for radiation/poisoning from specific creatures after butchering them. Now you can turn on/off this feature.
Added MCM toggle for radiation on a cooked/healthy food. Now you can turn on/off this feature.
Remade FOMOD archives.
Version 1.1
To make IHO more compatible with other mods, i made it more modular. All options available in FOMOD.
There will be no more ESP versions. Only ESL (ESP marked as ESL). Otherwise too much work to maintain and very time consuming.
Now included MCM menu, with a couple of options. Now you can toggle dismember ON/OFF while butchering animals/creatures or while eating humans/ghouls/supermutants. If Pip-boy clip was too disturbing while taking capstashes and caps from lunchboxes, now you can toggle it off too.
Tweaked some leveled lists with animals/creatures ingredients.
Further tweaked rads/poison gain after butchering some nasty creatures. Now it will be far less painfull. Each creature that have this feat can be tweaked seperately through FO4EDit.
IHO now don't overwrite Lead belly perks. It injects his own, which are starting to activate when Lead Belly is taken.
Donations
Both straight donations and premium membership donations accepted
For additional information about main features please read the description further.
To collect ingredients from a killed animal or creature, you will need a Hunting Knife to be equipped, or any other knife, even from other mods, that has AnimsStabWeapon keyword. (Hunting Knife can be crafted on Chemical Station under HUNTING & SCAVENING TOOLS tab) It is quite top tier knife, so it can be a powerful killer even in the late game. It has several neat modifications and paintjobs.
With each use, the knife will become duller, and if you bring its condition to zero, you will no longer be able to butcher. Therefore, these special sharpening kits that IHO introduces will be very useful. You can bind a key for Hunting Knife status checking.
Ingredients amount may vary, but you always will get something. Overall ingredients like hides, teeth, carapaces, bones and etc have much higher prices and yield more components. You can go hunting now and make yourself some caps by throwing on vendors face some "Ideal" Deathclaw Hide..and yeah, BTW >>>>
>>> Most of the creatures and animals can have "Ideal" ingredients. Such ingredients yield more components and cost more that their "Common" counter parts. Chance of harvesting such ingredients calculates by special formula which can be adjusted to your needs in the MCM menu.
After butchering you also get some experience. Experience calculates by special formula which can be found and adjusted to your needs in the MCM menu. Additionaly with Wasteland Survival Guide 9 magazine you will additionaly get bonus experience.
Some animals and creatures have dangerous guts. After butcher process be aware, that it can poison you or rad attack you for a couple of seconds. Use some protection.
With Chemist Rank 1 you can collect Blood Samples with Test Tubes from Humans, Ghouls, Supermutants, Animals & Creatures. Test tubes must simply be equipped. One test tube for one sample (test tubes can be crafted on Chemical Station under HUNTING & SCAVENING TOOLS tab). From Blood Samples you can craft Blood/Glowing Blood Packs. After taking a blood sample you also get some experience. Blood Sampling experience calculates by special formula which can be found and adjusted to your needs in the MCM menu. Additionaly with Astoundingly Awesome Tales 1 magazine you will get bonus experience.
With Scrapper perk you can collect components from a destroyed Robots, Synths, Vehicles, you will need a Dissasembly Wrench to be equipped and a Toolkit (They can be crafted on Chemical Station under HUNTING & SCAVENING TOOLS tab. Toolkits can be found in toolboxes or bought from generic vendors). Items amount may vary, but you always will get something. Some cars can not be salvaged at all, more empty ones or like a pure carcass >>> example
Most of the robots and synths can have "Ideal" parts. Such parts yield more components and cost more that their "Common" counter parts. Robot/Synth salvaging grants you some experience. Experience calculates by special formula which can be found and adjusted to your needs in the MCM menu. Additionaly with Astoundingly Awesome Tales 3 magazine you will get bonus experience.
Each type of vehicle has its own amount of components in the item pool.
Vehicle salvaging grants you some experience. Vehicle salvage experience calculates by special formula which can be found and adjusted to your needs in the MCM menu. Additionaly with Astoundingly Awesome Tales 14 magazine you will get bonus experience.
With a Toolkit, Disassemble Wrench and Total Hack Magazine you get the ability to disable turrets. Additionaly with Astoundingly Awesome Tales 3 magazine you will get more experience.
If you have unwanted carcasses, bodies, destroyed robots and etc annihilated by you with cruelty in your settlement, wasteland, Commonwealth, toilet, at work, you named it.. Just equip your shovel (for organical targets) or disassembly wrench (for mechanical targets) and whack them hard to remove their dead existance from your world once and for all. If you want get rid of them like a pro, craft some Splitting grenade and remove them all at once in a big radius. (all tools can be crafted on Chemical Station under HUNTING & SCAVENING TOOLS tab)
The properties of absolutely all food were rebalanced or changed in one way or another. New bonuses were added, old ones slightly changed or modified completely, prices changed, weight changed. And most importantly - almost..ALMOST all food is radiated (Can be Turned off in the MCM menu). Cooked food will give you a lot less radiation than raw. Prepare to get some RadWay or Rad-X. Now you will think twice what to put in your mouth. Or..
..Or get Lead Belly perk as soon as possible. Now It is very worthwile perk by a couple of reasons. At 1st rank you take less radiation from eating or drinking (like in vanilla), get poison resistance and unlocks the ability to milk brahmins. Milk can be used in some cooking recipes or just for drinking, you also can buy it from bartenders and other food/misc vendors. 2nd rank boosts resistance further, and gives the ability with 50% chance to harvest twice as many plants, vegetables and fruits from crops. With 3rd rank you get maximun resistances with the ability to cook twice as much food from the same amount of ingredients as before. Ranks 4/5 give some neat bonuses like less food spoilage speed, and increased carry weight as long as you have more than 10 cooked food or drinks items in your inventory.
Food, and drinks like milk, teas and juices can be spoiled now. Spoilage afterwards can be composted to fertilizer with Compost Bin (Compost Bin can be found the workshop menu >>> Resources >>> Other). MCM options included
At first you know only a couple of food recipes. To learn and unlock all others you must seek for recipes which can be found in the loot such as: coolers, refrigerators, trashcans and etc (chances are quite low, but acceptable), or bought from food/misc vendors which prices can be very steep at the beginning..or eat canned dog food like a dog, all your life. In Survival Mode this pushes you as a player to eat those pesky food which developers left for you with love in the world. At least for the first time.
Overall you can unlock 64 new recipes for your stomach through "Gourmands Of The Commonwealth" magazines. Just click it and you are golden. 24 of them are Legendary editions, have specific names and very expensive, but have quite nice bonuses. All is lore friendly, no Red Bulls or Fantas.
All vanilla cooking recipes have been changed. Need more varieties of ingredients for cooking.
Added food additives such as: salt, pepper, sugar, spices. They can be made at cooking stations, bought or found in the loot.
From IHO v4.0 there are some challenges now. Challenges with unlockable bonuses and items, based on IHOs concept and its mechanics. At the moment there are 14 challenges available. In the future i can add even more. MCM options included.
With Cannibal perk upon eating bodies of humans, ghouls, feral ghouls, glowing ghouls, supermutants, supermutants behemoths also get ingredients from their bodies. Also made this perk more gory.
By the original design cap stashes give you caps. Well okay then, let's not brake this tradition. Now cap stashes give you more caps..if you are lucky. Or less, but it will be still higher that in vanilla.
By the original design Lunch Boxes give you a lot of strange and yet useful items. We will not brake this tradition either. Now Lunch Boxes can give you even more strange useful items and even ashower from caps.
For casuals or for users with very small load orders: use Mod Manager and put I.H.O. to the bottom of your load order.
For pros or for users with heavy load orders: use Mod Manager and put I.H.O. to the bottom of you load order. Then start FO4Edit to check everything, if there is something that clashes with your other mods, you need to make bashed or compatibility patch. But keep in mind that to make I.H.O. work as advertised, I.H.O. changes must be prioritized.
My mod is heavily inspired by Hunter Of The Commonwealth By ZZYXZZ. They are very similar, but different aproach, different immersion, and I.H.O. gives more. If by some reason I.H.O. will not warm your heart, then I highly recommend H.O.T.C. I used it, works as advertised and it is great.
