📋 About This Mod

Unofficial patch for Salvage Beacons, Remote Explosives, The Mobile Mechanic, Compact Crafting and Horizon.  These are all only minor changes that I thought were too small to make their own individual mods, but might still be of interest to others.  E. G. Adding DEF_UI tags, adjusting crafting recipes, or moving crafting from the (ever expanding) chem lab into Horizon's robotics and weapons lab.

New with 1. 1: Player Hacking, Locky Bastard, and See-Through Combat Scopes (Removed with 1. 6)

New with 1. 2: See-Through Combat Scopes - Nuka World support, Live Action Mr. Handy, and Moddable Robot Settlers. Removed with 1. 5

New with 1. 3: Glowing Animals Emit Light and Various Material Fixes

New with 1. 3. 1: Military MREs

New with 1. 4: Bobble Girl and Random Valuables - Slim Version (Removed with 1. 6) This patch also fixes some other bugs and provides some updates to my other patches. See change log for more details.

New with 1. 5: Updated nearly every patch to be compatible with Horizon 1. 5.  My robot patches have been removed from this compilation as they have been moved to my robot patches patch.  The changes are all relatively minor, some recipes were adjusted to fall more in line with new Horizon balances, crafting keywords were updated, and other small things.

New with 1. 6: Not much of an updated needed for Horizon 1. 6.x, but I dropped support for player hacking, random valuables, and see through scopes.  I would like to make my own version of random valuables to only address bobble heads and be more compatible in the future.  See through scopes will become a patch mod of it's own.

This is considered a BETA until I am convinced there are no bugs or inconsistencies.  If you find any bugs or inconsistencies please report via the bug tracking tab.  I only offer support for the latest version of the above mods and Horizon.  If you're using older versions of either I offer no support.

This mod is packaged as a FOMOD which means you will need to install it via a mod manager. I recommend Nexus Mod Manager.

Beta The Mobile Mechanic Mod Added Components Support

The scrapping bench in The Mobile Mechanic and Compact Crafting do not work with mod added components.  Do not scrap any of Horizon's new components using the workbench from either of those mods.

I'll try to fix this with the next patch, but for now YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
