📋 About This Mod
Craft and scrap ammo, craft weapons frames, craft improved wasteland armor at a new crafting workbench. New advanced and ultimate base game handgun receivers to extend their useful life.
Cut out the middle man for a no shopping experience to make weapons and convert your useless ammo into the hot combat lead you need.
For lore and logic if the player can craft advanced weapon component mods with perks, they should be able to make the basic frames and ammo. Finding relevant components like fertilizer and lead is painful grind for spray 'n pray operators, so ammo scrapping is enabled for sensible component conversions.
Crafting Workbench
===============
All additional crafting uses a new Crafting Workbench except Omod upgrades are added at the usual armor and weapons workbenches.
The workbench can be built at any owned workshop with no perk requirements.
A [ . SKK Crafting Workbench (drop to deploy) ] MISC item can be crafted at a workbench in the [ Utility ] section to deploy anywhere in the world. The item automatically regenerates on use so you can keep moving that deployed workbench around which keeps any local inventory if you leave stuff in it. To avoid inventory confusion if you deploy in a workshop location the workbench name is [ Crafting Workbench (deployed) ] which can be moved but not scrapped.
The workbench can offer a [ Scrap Player Junk ] activation menu option switchable in the [ Utility ] section to scrap base game MISC junk items in player inventory like Fallout 76 workbenches. It uses FormList SKK_CWAScrapMiscList which excludes some crafting items like empty bottles, xEdit over-ride that list to add (scrap) and remove (ignore) items particular to your game. For a full fat DLC item aware solution, use Junk Scrapper or Global Stash and Scrapping instead. If a mod is already adding a third [ Space ] activation option to workbenches and this is also enabled then nothing will be shown. You will have to choose one "addactivate" menu option to enable.
Ammo crafting
===========
Most ammo crafting needs at least GunNut1 perk plus whatever is listed e.g. Fusion Cell needs GunNut1 + Science1
10mm Ammo short 10 none (1 Copper, 1 Fertilizer, 1 Lead)
. 38 Ammo short 10 none (1 Copper, 1 Fertilizer, 1 Lead)
. 44 Ammo short 10 GunNut1 (1 Copper, 1 Fertilizer, 1 Lead)
. 45 Ammo short 10 GunNut1 (1 Copper, 1 Fertilizer, 1 Lead)
Shotgun Shell 10 GunNut1 (1 Plastic, 1 Fertilizer, 1 Lead)
. 308 Ammo long 10 GunNut1 (2 Copper, 2 Fertilizer, 2 Lead)
05mm Ammo long *10 GunNut1 (2 Copper, 2 Fertilizer, 2 Lead)

✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 577 endorsements and over 25k downloads.
- Adds practical crafting options that extend the life of base game handguns.
- One-stop workbench for ammo, armor, and weapon crafting—no more juggling multiple stations.
⚠️ Cons
- Only adds receivers for handguns, not other weapon types—might feel limited if you're a rifle main.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Look for the new workbench in the crafting menu—it's separate from the standard armor and weapon benches.
- Scrapping ammo you don't use can give you materials to craft the ammo you actually need, so don't hoard everything.
- If you're on PC, make sure to place this mod after other crafting overhauls in your load order to avoid conflicts.
