📋 About This Mod

Anyone wishing to add to or change any part of this mod (or add to a compilation) should feel free to do so. The Mango\'s Homemade Grenades! Version 2. 0 changes: Added new grenades and mines, fixed texture problems for people running windows 64, included recipe for reloading 40mm grenades, tweaked a few existing grenades Version 1. 1 changes: added 6 new grenades and tweaked requirements (different skills/levels and don\'t all require demolitions expert) I wasn\'t sure if Flour was a common enough ingredient, so I added a recipe for it (8 maize = 1 flour, 30 survival) ==================================== Explosive types: Homemade Frag Grenade Ingredients: 50 rifle powder, 12 Legion Denarius, Turpentine, Tin Can Requirements: 40 explosives, Workbench The explosive mixture of rifle powder and turpentine has enough power send its payload of metal coins into anyone unlucky to be caught in the blast at lethal velocity. Homemade Incendiary Grenade Ingredients: 30 flamer fuel, Wonderglue, Abraxo cleaner, Tin can Requirements: 50 explosives, Workbench Slow burning flamer fuel added to the mixture of Abraxo cleaner and Wonderglue creates an explosive cloud of flame that clings to those within and continues burning. An unpleasant way to go, to be sure. Unstable Microfusion Cell Ingredients: 24 Overcharged Microfusion cells, Nuka-Cola Requirements: 60 explosives, Demolitions Expert, Workbench Being an expert of all things explosive, you have discovered the exact right amount of sugary Nuka-Cola to add to an overcharged Microfusion battery in order to cause it to violently explode on contact (and not in your face!). Explodes on impact. Homemade Pipe Bomb Ingredients: Lead Pipe, 2 Dynamites, 100 BB\'s, 200 Pistol powder (makes 2 Pipe bombs) Requirements: 70 explosives, Demolitions Expert, Workbench Deceptively simple looking, this explosive is a marvel of improvised explosives. A stick of high power dynamite, infused with extra powder and steel BB\'s, is placed inside a lead pipe, giving extra killing power. While extremely deadly, these explosives are heavier than most. Homemade Multiblast Grenade Ingredients: 1 Absinthe, 1 Nuka Cola Quartz, 1 Turpentine, 10 Flamer Fuel Requirements: 75 explosives, Demolitions Expert, Workbench The pinnacle of thrown explosives, this mix of standard explosives with exotic and unknown chemicals creates a blast of flame so intense most organic enemies are killed instantly. The extremely high temperature of the blast can even severely damage robots and powered armored foes. Improvised Pulse Grenade Ingredients: Fission Battery, Scrap electronics, 20 Electron Charge packs Requirements: 45 Science, Workbench An overcharged fission batter rigged to explode on contact. The high voltage (but low amp) electrical blast is merely painful to humans, but can turn electronics into worthless scrap. Homemade Concussion Grenade Ingredients: Box of Detergent, Duct Tape, 2 Scrap Metal, 150
