Adds in over 150 new, balanced, ammo types, and allows for the creation and deconstruction of all of them!

Also has a sweet eight-barreled shotgun AND a triple-barreled, shoulder mounted, sniper rifle to sweeten the deal!

Ammosmith adds over 150 ammo variants in total for almost every ammunition type, excluding the camera and Archimedes II.

Originally, Ammosmith was two separate mods, Handloader and Vigilant Recycler. I've since merged them to consolidate files, as well as enhance creativity with my new rounds.

TL;DR: The mod has balanced ammo types, pretty much everything has HP/AP/Jacketed rounds and specialty ammo types such as explosive and incendiary rounds on logical ammo types. Turn your Energy weapons into snipers OR shotguns.

Some important facts to know beforehand:
  • You can break down all ammo types.
  • A lot of junk can be broken down into crafting materials
  • Vanilla+ style crafting components inspired by Fallout 4/76. Unobtrusive and similar to base game crafting.
  • Ammo crafting has been streamlined; if you can't craft something, you can't see it.
  • New crafting categories for your convenience.
  • Junk rounds has been slightly rebalanced - from requiring 7 luck and 45 Repair to 45 Survival and 25 Repair.
  • Ammo names have been standardized, no more (Vigilant Recycler) (Hand Loader) (GRA) prefixes on ammo.
  • Some ammo names have been loosened up a bit - I.E. .50MG is now just .50 Caliber; as sometimes you're not really loading .50BMG into a weapon, but instead loading .50 AE.
  • The order in which you cycle through ammo has been tweaked; it generally goes from weaker ammo first to stronger ammo.

Bonus Facts that aren't too important to know:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • More damaging rounds are less likely to have their cases/drained cells recovered
  • Refined, Tuned, and Stabilized rounds weigh less than standard rounds. The same is true for Optimized.


Perks that will allow you to make the new ammo types:
  • Pyromaniac for fire-based ammo
  • Chemist for toxin-based ammo
  • Robotics Expert for pulse ammo
  • Junk Rounds for scrappy ammo
  • Center of Mass for shotgun-esque ammo
  • Nuka-Chemist for Nuka-Cola based ammo
  • Hand Loader for specialized ballistic ammo
  • Vigilant Recycler for specialized energy ammo
  • Demolition Expert for conventional explosive ammo
  • Mad Bomber for unconventional explosive ammo

Requirements:
Recommendations:
  • JIP Improved Recipe Menu - Allows you to craft an (effectively) unlimited amount of ammo at a time.
  • Loot Assist - Provides vanilla crafting stations with smart storage (utilized by sneaking and activating a station), so that you don't have to lug around all your crafting materials or store them in containers nearby.
  • It can be anywhere, but lower works better if you have tweak mods. (Mods like JSawyer).


Next up are the ammunition lists, arranged by which they're prioritized to be loaded into your weapon.
