📋 About This Mod
Spiritual successor to "Scrap your items to obtain crafting recipes" which is no longer available or even updated to 2. 0.
WHAT THIS MOD DOES:
When disassembling a weapon you have a chance (default 20%) of receiving its crafting spec of appropriate item quality. When this occurs a "LOOTED:" message will appear with the items rarity, name and "crafting spec". This is in addition to whatever the weapon scraps for by default, so you aren't losing out on materials when this happens.
New in 1. 0. 1: Optionally also gain the crafting specs of the lower tier versions of the item. Disabled by default.
WHAT THIS MOD DOES NOT DO:
It does not create new recipes, only existing recipes will have a chance to be added. What this means in practice is that these are the same type of recipes for sale at vendors, i.e. the ones without a skin. That said plenty of these recipes do not get added to any vendor, which is one of the reasons I made this. Weapons with skins such as "Pimp" or "Neon" and variants like "BARGHEST" have no existing crafting specs and disassembling them will yield the recipe for the default version of weapon.
No consideration has been made for iconics since they cannot be disassembled by default and their recipes get hidden after being crafted.
No recipes exist for any rarity with a plus in it, disassembling weapons of these rarities will yield their base quality crafting spec. (Rare+ -> Rare)
VIDEO DEMONSTRATION
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
You can combine this mod with Upgrade Weapons Unlocked to push these weapons the Legendary+ and Legendary++ rarities, since crafting specs cap out at Legendary.
Since these recipes are vanilla you can also use Enhanced Craft to craft various skins.
This mod is safe to freely remove since again, all these recipes exist within the game. They will remain available to craft.
If by chance anyone is looking to translate this mod, all the strings are implemented via ArchiveXL/json so as to be easily doable.
