OLD WORLD SCIENCE: a retro character mod
version 1.2

Play as a (reasonably sane) scientist -- recover secrets of Old World Science, in the footsteps of Nikola Tesla. Master the forces of electricity and the atom!

This mod includes:
- new lab outfits
- special equipment
- new energy weapons
- a secret laboratory, suitable as a player home, with all modern conveniences.

REQUIREMENTS:
Fallout New Vegas, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Gun Runners Arsenal

BALANCE:
The Old World Science mod adds powerful unique items. Potentially, this will unbalance play. I've tried to compensate by making you work for them. You'll need to find schematics or other documents; quests will guide you to some of these, but others you'll need to find by searching likely places. To build the most powerful objects you'll also need access to special equipment in the secret laboratory, and very high skill in Science, Repair, and Energy Weapons.

COMPATIBILITY:
I've placed special objects in existing locations, so it's possible that mods which edit those locations could remove them. I don't expect any other incompatibilities: let me know if you find problems.

NOTES:
If you have trouble finding the secret laboratory: once you've reached Novac and begun the RepConn quest, the "Address Unknown" quest will provide clues.
More complete information on weapons included in this mod can be found in the Advanced Energy Weapons Manual text file.

CREDITS:
Some equipment is adapted from Jokerine's "Misc Resources and Tutorials - FNV" (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/56009) The Gilbert Atomic Lab Kit is inspired by Jokerine's Gilbert Science Sets, based on vintage children's chemistry sets (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55138) The Atomic Lab adapts a mesh and texture from that mod.
Much of the new equipment in the Secret Laboratory is inspired by retakrew7's WACX-Workbench and Campfire Crafting Recipe Expansion(https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/40774)
