Allows you to breakdown surplus ammo, at a balance, fair and immersive rate.
- Permissions and credits
Welcome to "BREAKDOWN THAT SURPLUS AMMO" the mod that allows you to breakdown, what else, surplus ammo!
And it does it in a balanced, not-overpowered way.
According to Chet, surplus are "low quality ammo that will degrade your weapons faster"
Consider this: Since these ammunitions are bad, broken, low quality and cheap, you'll be very fortunate to even be able to savage as half of raw materials per round as would with normal rounds.
So, with this in mind, i made sure that the quantity of "raw materials" is HALF of what the normal ammunition gives.
In the case of energy ammo, they can be recycled, two per one, at a workbench, thus, mantaining the "half" part of the idea.
Also, in game there exist two other ammunitions, the ".223" and the ".38 special"
According to the Wiki, the ".223" can be used on weapons that normaly use 5.56mm.
While the ".38 Special" can be used with weapons that would normaly use .357 Magnum.
Both of them also have a way to degradate your weapon faster, thats why they are also included in this mod.
They will give cases for 5.56 and .357 respectively, but only as half as much.
You will be also be able to breakdown BB pellets, one per one lead.
Requirements for breakdowns are the same that if you would breakdown the normal version.
Example, if you have the requirement to breakdown normal 22LR, which is 15 repair, means that you will be able to breakdown 22LR Plinkling.
-Here is a summary of all the ammo that this mod allows you to breakdown:
(That where previously unable to do so in vanilla)
.22LR, Plinking.
5mm, Surplus.
5.56mm surplus
electron charge pack, bulk
microfusion cell, bulk
small energy cell, bulk
.38 special
.223
BB pellet
These are pretty much all of the rest of the ammo that wasn't breakdownable.
I like to take care of my proyects, so if there is any ammo that is still unbreakdownable, let me know in the comments, and i'll add it on a future version.
_______________
Install as you normaly would, using your mod manager (recommended) or manually, placing the ESP on your Data folder.
This mod is super safe to uninstall midgame, since its very lightweight, uses only vanilla assets, and doesn't involves scripts or other critical things.
Should be compatible with any and all mods (unless a mod does this exact same thing)
_______________
After some hours of testing, this mod has pass with flying colors!
Its now ready for public release.
Enjoy!
