📋 About This Mod
OVERVIEW
Tougher creatures now drop a select handful of useful components on death, depending on what type of creature they are. Just like Fallout 76!
I've been playing a lot of Fallout 76 in the past couple weeks, and I really like that dangerous enemies drop a handful of desirable junk components when killed. It feels pretty rewarding and I've found that it incentivizes me to go out of my way to hunt dangerous game if I spot one in the distance.
I think that's pretty cool!
Dangerous creatures now drop a small handful of yummy loot to reward you for killing them. Creature loot is based on Fallout 76, with adjustments and balance tweaks to fit in with Fallout 4's loot economy.
BREAKDOWN
Each creature's ability to drop items can be individually toggled using the MCM or by crafting a config holotape at a chemistry station.
Creature drops are not added via leveled list edits or script injection, so drops can be toggled on and off at any time.

Aliens: Circuitry, Copper.
Anglers: Adhesive, Asbestos.
Behemoths: Gold, Nuclear Material.
