=============== 1. DESCRIPTION ===============
Ammo Crafting Schematics (ACS) allows the player to craft - and breakdown - any ammo type or explosive in the game, by finding or purchasing the appropriate schematics. It also expands ammo crafting options generally, with new items including brass, hull plastic, hand grenade and land mine shells, explosive powder, explosive fuses - and shell casing types missing from vanilla FNV. On top of that, new sub-categories are added to the crafting menu to better handle the large number of new recipes; categories such as '9mm Ammo', '10mm Ammo', 'Explosives', 'Primers and Powder', etc.
Please see the Playing The Mod section below for detailed information on the contents of ACS.
