Dudeman325 created this mod ( http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/53942/? ) at my request, for use with Ammo Crafting Expanding.
It changes the recipe for Homemade Flamer Fuel to produce regular flamer fuel instead of the separate item "homemade flamer fuel", so that it's easier for the frugal wasteland survivor to melt and re-cast casings using this mod.
This mod is very good. Adds more realism then other mods of its nature. But i would have one suggestion. Could you make some gun powder recipe? Now i have big number of mats in my inventory but no powder. The small amount of powder i get from other ammo gets used much more then other components.
It would be nice to be able to melt lead pipes into lead for ammo.
I will endorse it later because the site gave me some stupid error since I downloaded it when i wasent logged in. then when I downloaded it again while logged in and tried it gave me some stupid 15 minute cooldown period error.
Pookie, not providing empty tanks was a complete oversight on my part. I have corrected that, and also corrected crafting as it was using wrong values for flamer fuel compared to breaking down. Also, Homemade Flamer Fuel has its own ID in Geck, so I would have to create a whole new group of recipes to use it. Its not hard, but its going to be a PITA so thats gonna be on the back burner for now.
JoeShrapnel, I have added shotgun shells. You can melt down shells and receive plastic and a bit of brass. I also added melting down ashtrays (I didn't want to give up gear to make plastic, and they have a nice plastic sound to them if you drop them).
I will also be uploading a Zero FlamerFuel version shortly. Thanks Everyone, -Banditlead
I really like this mod, as some types of ammo is so hard to come by. Could I suggest perhaps drained fuel tanks be added back to the player's inventory so they can recycle? I used near on 600 fuel making some handloaded .50MG. Also, would it be possible to add support for home-made fuel? I tried making some when I ran out of normal fuel, and was surprised to find it didn't work =P
Over the course of the week, I will be working on updating the mod. I will be adding shotgun hulls, some junk that can be melted down to shells if you stretch your imagination a tad, and ability to break down primer caps and make new ones for the caliber you need.
Thanks for downloading and commenting.
@Peterfaj: Personally, I think that the lead should use fuel to melt down that ammo as well. It doesn't make sense to me that a man on a bench can miraculously turn lead into bullets, but I can't really change that without breaking compatibility with other mods so that won't change. I require fuel as, I don't want anything to be free. Your in a wasteland, you should decide if having some extra bullets is worth losing that fluid, cause you can't have it all. Maybe I will release an "easy pack" with no fuel and no brass loss.....
@Peterfaj: When creating the other bullets allready in game, you're not recycling the brass like this mod enables you to do. In that aspect i think it's a good idea.

I can make the rounds, but not the cases. Could you please add that into an updated version? Thank yoU!

I have a small suggestion though.

It's just that the fuel requirements are so high.
