📋 About This Mod

Streamline the crafting interface by reorganizing recipes into clearer categories, renaming them for clarity, and hiding irrelevant ones until needed.

    Moved Items

    • []Nuka Chemist items now made on the campfire

      []Gecko-Backed armors now made on the workbench

      []Rocket Ammo now made on the workbench

      []Tanned Hide recipes now on the workbench

    Renamed RecipesAll recipes follow the same naming format for better sorting: 'A: B, C (D)'.
    • []A: Action (e.g., Breakdown or Conversion).

      []B: The actual name of the recipe.

      []C: If multiple recipes should logically be grouped together but don’t due to differing first words (e.g., 'Large Wasteland Tequila' and 'Wasteland Tequila'), the differing first word is placed here to maintain sorting order.

      []D: The amount produced by the recipe.

    General Changes
    • []Cookery-To-Metal and Meals-To-Metal have been renamed to Metal-From-Cookery and Metal-From-Meals, respectively, for better sorting.

    Hidden Recipes
    • []All DLC recipes requiring DLC only items hidden until relevant DLC has been started. (Configurable with INI)

      []All cloned plant recipes hidden unless play has Salient Green in their inventory. (Configurable with INI)

    • Them's Good Eatin' recipes hidden until player has the perk. (Configurable with INI)

    Compatibility

    While most of this mod's edits are done with scripts and such will likely either override other mods or get overridden. There are a few recipes that have had their forms modified. So some functionality such as being able to hide recipes may stop working if an another mod overrides it.
