📋 About This Mod

Name: BA_Repair Author: Shiholude Cateogry: Gameplay Effects and Changes Thank you to everyone that continues to support and download my mods! I love this community! Check out my other stuff on MY MEMBER PAGE. ============== Description: ============== Welcome to the Bad Ass Repair mod!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Yes, it\'s just another repair mod, nothing huge. This mod does four things to the FormID lists: 1. It adds six junk items for use in repair on various types of weapons or armors. 2. It adds logical cross-items for use in repair - without being ridiculous. 3. It adds schematic sub-components to appropriate user-created weapons. 4. It removes all Unique items from being used for repair purposes. ============== Background: ============== I\'ve played FO3 for over three years now, and during that time, I\'ve used several repair mods that have all brought some needed logic to the game. However, the earlier ones were not designed well, and the latest one\'s really used a ton of items for repair. While semi-logical with some of the objects, I found that I was hauling around tons of items to use for repair - rather than sell. So my solution was to come up with a simplified set of things that would be used for repairs. I first set out to only use items that would be directly linked to a specific piece of armor or weapon, and after reviewing most junk and alternative pieces of clothing or weapon types, I feel I\'ve come to some logical solutions: Scrap Metal (Availability - Medium) These piles of miscellaneous metal scraps were originally called \"spare parts\" in the GECK. With that thought in mind, these small piles of scraps could be easily used for repair of most any substance. Their use in most weapons and armor is obvious, and while I can see some very good reasoning for their use in clothing, I felt that it had extremely limited usage. In fact, I often felt like I was cheating when repairing cloth or leather items with it, so I dropped it from these types of items. Wonderglue (Availability - Medium) This liquid gold is able to piece together any substance. It\'s a awesome adhesive, it\'s water resistant, it\'s a varnish, it\'s..... wonder glue! I realize that the value of wonderglue is 10x that of the other three components, but its legitimacy for use overshadowed the higher cost of repairs. Tin Cans / Bent Tin Cans (Availability - High) Don\'t let the tinny name fool you! Tin cans are actually made mostly of aluminum (about 90%), and got their name from the tin coating placed on them to help prevent corrosion. Aluminum and tin both can be melted down and reused with little to no loss of their natural elements, making them an
