📋 About This Mod

This is a very simple mod that allows you to recover 80% of the resources from unwanted ammunition in a very easy straightforward way.

You open the ammo and recover the materials in the WORKBENCH. If you have the optional "Custom Ammo Bench Add-On" installed you will disassemble the ammo in the "Ammo Recycling Bench" instead. You will get a package, OPEN it (DO NOT SCRAP) and you will get your materials back.

No schematics or levels in crafting skills needed.

Crafting time and exact amount of resources that you get back are adjusted after cost and crafting time of the original ammunition, ammo complexity, quality and rarity, and if ammunition bundles exists or not, to make it balanced and prevent exploits. Opening and recovering materials from more complex types of ammunition, such as rockets, takes more time (but they will not explode, I promise 😉).

It includes 9mm, 7. 62, Magnum . 44, all the different ammunitions for shotguns, rockets and grenades. Version 1. 1. 0 of the mod adds compatibility with Izayo Weapon pack mod, so you can recycle all the ammunition and explosives included. Version 1. 3. 0 adds support for District Zero overhaul. Version 1. 4. 0 adds support for "Server side weapons" and "Pant's Weapon Pack". Version 1. 5. 0 added support for "The Wasteland" and "Firearms Expansion 5". Version 1. 6. 0 added support for "Rebirth" and "Oakraven Ammo Press". Later versions of the mod add support for Escape from Tarkov, EFT Extraction and more!

For people playing solo or in servers that allow server + player side mods, I have added an optional Add-On, that includes a custom made "Ammo Recycling Bench". If you install it you will recycle the ammunition in that new bench instead, freeing the workbench to craft other things. The new bench is crafted in the workbench. It is a 1x1 bench, and it can be placed on top of any block at any height, so you can decorate your base with it however you want. Unlike the main mod, which is server-side, the add-on requires install in both server and player computer, since it adds custom assets. It is optional, and not required to use the mod, just a little extra nice detail that I wanted to add in case you can use it.

FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH V1, V2, V3 and all the later versions of the game up to latest stable.
