📋 About This Mod

This mod attempts to expand the available ammo calibers with a clean, modern implementation. Past caliber expansion libraries tend to integrate not cleanly and added bloat to ammo loot with many types of ammunition never being used.

CaliberZL relies highly on mod authors to create clean implementation. A sample script (snipped from ZL Armaments) will be provided below.

If you're downloading this mod because another requires it, then no worries!

Dynamically implements the following ammo types. Different calibers will only be loaded if called by a mod that uses it. All ammo types have crafting and breakdown recipes including hand load and junk variants.
