Perk version requires Science! 4 and Nuclear Physicist 3 to craft the recipe is 1 Acid 1 Circuitry 4 Gold 4 Lead 10 Nuclear Material 1 Silver 2 Steel
Made with FO4Edit

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—might not play nice with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.

For Fallout 4 players who hate hunting for Fusion Cores and want a straightforward way to craft them at a chemistry station. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive crafting overhaul—this is a single-recipe mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Chemistry perk before trying to craft Fusion Cores—the recipe won't show up otherwise.
- If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Check the workbench's crafting menu under 'Utility' or 'Ammo'—the recipe might not be in the obvious spot.
