-All Armor craftable across base and all DLC
-All Weapons craftable from base game and DLC
-All Power Armor craftable from base game and DLC
-All Ammo from base game and DLC weapons
-Clutter Items Craftable from base game and DLC items
And when I say All i mean all... yes even replicas of those unique items you once thought was single item only is possible (optional). Now you and Deacon can stop fighting over that Deliverer pistol and have one each! or make a copy of that awesome Tesla Armor and duo team your enemies in style!
-Reorders the benches in the settlement crafting menu so they're not all over the place
-Removed the need for perks on Workbenches so you can plan exactly what perks you want or build your tool shed from the get go!
Disclaimer Not responsible for accidents caused using a workbench you don't know how to use, proper training is still required to use.
This mod comes with 3 ways of crafting Ammo:
Easy - Makes all items craftable from basic components like the normal game.
Hard - You need to craft Primers and Casings to be able to make the ammo.
Hard Alt - Same as Hard but with alternate menu listing where ammo is listed per ammo type using Armor Keywords layout.
Also has optional settings for the following using the 'Crafting Mastery Cassette' from the Chemistry Workbench or Optionally MCM:
No Ammo - Want everything else but not the ammo crafting? Turn it off.
