Description

===========

This mod is a reworking of Bilarion's CALIBR Ammo Schematics - CRAFT mod http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/4514. It removes the CALIBR ammo schematics and dependancy so it will be useful for people who don't play with CALIBR weapons and don't like the long vendor lists the original mod had. I've also increased the base cost of of the 12 remaining schematics substantially (roughly 2-3 times) and changed all the formulas, to produce less ammo and introduce wastage when you strip down ammo for parts and gunpowder.

Finally, I've placed one of each schematic in game.

My whole purpose with this mod was to balance out a little the difficulty mods I use without undermining them, and to keep the immersion and roleplaying that the original mod provided.

IN VERSION 3:

There are now more sources for gunpowder and it's a bit cheaper to buy. It now costs 30 caps per can (base cost) and can be bought from more vendors. It will be dropped (rarely) as Raider or Talon loot. You may even come across the odd can out in the Wasteland. If the loot drops are still too rare for some people these settings can easily be tweaked in FO3Edit.

Don't forget to create a merge file so leveled lists continue to work with all mods.

IN VERSION 2:

The mod now has schematics for energy weapon ammo: Energy Cells, Electron Charge Packs and Microfusion Cells. One of each of these schematics can be found in the game. The schematics are no longer permanently available from vendors but will show up on a random basis. The exceptions to this are the energy weapon ammo and mini-nuke schematics, which cannot be bought and must be found in game. There's a location hint and spoiler text file in the archive in case of need.

Most of the schematics, along with the Gunpowder Cans, can be bought at Craterside Supply in Megaton, at Lydia Montenegro's in Tenpenny Tower and at Flak&Shrapnel in Rivet City. They will show up randomly, with only one schematic available at any one time. However the vendors will carry different schematics and over time will sell all of them apart from the exceptions mentioned above. Gunpowder will always be available to buy.

One of each schematic is scattered throughout the Wasteland. However, they are placed where the player should be able to find them relatively early on in the game, especially for the more common ammo types. The whole point is to be able to use them as you go through the game. I've tried to make the locations logical. Some of the schematics are owned.
