📋 About This Mod
This mod was made with the idea of breaking down chems you don't use so you can craft the chems you need. For example, you could break down Med-X and Psycho into compounds that can then be used to craft Slasher. It's a pretty simple idea: a reloading bench for chems.
There are three version to choose from. Only use ONE.
-New Vegas version: Use this if you are only using New Vegas. It adds a drug synthesizer in the kitchen of the Lucky 38 Presidential Suite Kitchen
-TTW version: Use this if you are using TTW. It adds a drug synthesizer in the kitchen of the Lucky 38 Presidential Suite Kitchen and changes My First Laboratory into a Drug Synthesizer
-Rebuild the Capital: If you are using my other mod "Rebuild the Capital," download this version. It adds a drug synthesizer in the kitchen of the Lucky 38 Presidential Suite Kitchen and changes My First Laboratory into a Drug Synthesizer.
If you want to replace all static chemistry sets in the game with the Drug Synthesizer crafting station, then download the correct replacer esp in the optional files. It requires the matching main file to work. Thanks to vanionchist for the idea.
The compounds that you receive from breaking down drugs represent an attribute of SPECIAL:
- Brawnoids = Strength
- Zanahoria = Perception
- Staminoma = Endurance
- Charmagra = Charisma
- Nu-Nootropics = Intelligence
- Reflexum = Agility
- Favorabis = Luck
So when a drug like Mentats is broken down, you will gain the compounds of Charmagra, Nu-Nootropics, and Zanahoria which represent which attributes Mentats boosts. If you want to craft Mentats, you will need these same compounds which can be yielded from other drugs that boost their corresponding SPECIAL attribute.
Additionally, some drugs yield and require:
- Renovamen = A compound found in drugs that heal like Stimpaks
- Chernoboidine = A compound found in drugs that reduce radiation like Rad-X or Radaway
- Tht-Spcl-Kck = A misc. addictive substance found in drugs like Jet or Psycho
Lastly, you will need the psychical components of each drug in order to craft them:
- Empty Syringe = Needed for drugs that use needles like Med-X or Slasher (A Vanilla Item)
- Empty Inhaler = Needed for drugs like Jet or Turbo
- Empty Bag = Needed for drugs like Rad-Away or Blood Packs
- Sterilized Bottle = Needed for pill drugs like Rad-X or Buffout (Can be crafted with bottles like Nuka Cola or beer)
The Drug Synthesizer crafting station uses your medicine skill for the requirements to craft each drug.
This mod also adds a few drugs:
- Blood Pack Kit = Not really a drug but an aid item that creates a blood pack at the cost of a little health
- Voodoo = An Inhaler drug that increases Luck and Agility at the cost of Intelligence
- Mint Breath = An Inhaler drug that inc
Adds the Drug Synthesizer, a reloading bench for chems, letting you break down unused chems into compounds and craft new ones. Includes a few new craftable drugs. A niche utility mod for Fallout 4 players who want more chem crafting options.
