About this mod

Crystals have begun to mysteriously appear all across the desert. These crystals are somewhat rare and valuable, selling for a good amount of caps at vendors. Various textures, shapes, structures, and other physical attributes provide a unique crystal hunting experience.

FEATURES

Across the desert, a strange emergence of unique crystals has suddenly taken place. Crystals can be seen in red, orange, pink, amber and green (including different appearances from interactions with light emittance, reflections, and shadows). Not many specific regions have large quantities of crystals besides a few mines and caves. Crystals are often seen near bushes, catci, and piles of rocks. Small, scattered clusters of crystals can be interacted with and looted for crystal shards. Crystal shards can be used to craft crushed crystal, a very valuable item sought by traders. Outdoor crystal clusters are seemingly found at random.

INSTALLATION

Install the latest main file. For manual installation, extract the file to your game’s data folder. For a mod manager installation, install the file with your preferred mod manager.

COMPATIBILITY

This mod replaces several instances of plants across the desert. Be cautious using any mods that place objects on desert terrain with this mod. Mods that modify crystal models in the Old World Blues DLC are compatible. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any patch suggestions or requests.Visual mods and utilities that change weather, lighting, climates, bloom, and reflections can potentially change the appearance of crystals. ENBs and mods like New Vegas Reloaded are compatible but can still potentially change the appearance of crystals.

PLANNED FEATURES

Large crystal clusters seen in regions of the Old World Blues DLC will be able to be harvested for resources requiring a pickaxe in a future update. Additional crafting recipes utilizing crystals are being worked on. A patch for the mod Mojave Mole Miners is planned. New custom icons for crushed crystal and crystal shards are planned. A TTW version featuring raw alien crystals from Fallout 3 Mothership Zeta DLC is planned. Crystal-related resources will be a component for crafting cryolators and cryo cell ammo in a future update.
