📋 About This Mod

This clean and simple mod introduces crafting recipes for various explosives which were previously unavailable to craft in the game. More is still to come. I also wasn't satisfied with the current crafting mods here on the Nexus, various problems exist with them so I decided to make my own using better and cleaner methods. I hope you enjoy them.

Be sure to also check out my other AmmoCraft mods which include crafting base components for many of these items, including gunpowder, in sufficient quantities.

And don't forget to check out the ChemCraft series too!

All recipes are found under the "Weapons" section inside the Reloading Bench.

As of version 1. 04, all the Mad Bomber recipes have also been moved to the Reloading bench. This conveniently groups all craftable explosives together inside a single menu.

If a recipe is not listed here, then its already available to craft in the base game without the need for any mods. I also did neglect to include only a few things because I felt they are not so desirable to craft.

DLC is required
