📋 About This Mod

This is the third entry to my AmmoCraft series. More is still to come.

This clean and simple mod introduces crafting recipes for Gunpowders, Primers, Cases and Lead, which were previously unavailable to craft in the game. This mod allows you to completely craft all standard ammunition from scratch. 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 more logical and cleaner methods. I hope you enjoy them.

Most recipes are found under the "Misc" section inside the Reloading Bench.

Primers and Cases are found under the "Primers, Cases" section inside the Reloading Bench.

1x Dirty Water = 50 Lead

1x Motorcycle Gas Tank = 250 Lead

1x Tin Plate = 200 lead

1x Paperweight = 350 Lead

1x Scrap Metal = 100 lead

(Weight Adjustments)

Lead Pipe - Changed weight from 3lbs to 4lbs

Tin Plate - Changed weight to 4lbs

Paperweight - Changed weight to 5lbs

Reason = Because Tin Plates are very common in a few areas. (20+ in one area alone, and more in others!!)
