📋 About This Mod

Since I've been getting requests for this, I decided to upload it. Pretty much does what the title says. This mod is very fast, your game might lag slightly if you use more than one smelting slot (this is only an issue with the items that this mod affects). Here's a list of affected items: small stone, clay soil, crushed sand/broken glass, lead, brass, iron/raw iron, lead and brass trophies, brass radiator, lead fishing weight, brass doorknob, brass candlestick. This is all the items I could think of off the top of my head, I may have missed some. The optional file only affects the base scrap items.

Before you install any mods for any game, make sure to back up your save files.

Save files for 7DtD are located at: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\Saves

To install, extract the contents of the zip file (I use 7zip), copy/move the contents to your mods folder in your 7 Days to Die directory (if you don't have a mods folder then make one). Enjoy!

Remove the contents to uninstall.

I made this mod. This is my personal version of it.
