📋 About This Mod

This mod exists because mod authors seem to forget about throwing hatchets 1 out of every 4 times a mod for throwing weapons is made. There are a number of other mods affecting the availability of these weapons from vendors and the ability to retrieve them once thrown. All this mod does is add a reasonable recipe for the three primary thrown melee weapons in the vanilla New Vegas game. In the future I am hoping to add a separate recipe for combat knives and the standard kitchen knife, since it would be really easy. I just don't have blender and knifscope set up on this install of my PC, so if I end up needing those it will take some time.

The current recipes go as follows:

1 Hatchet = 1 throwing Hatchet

1 Scrap Metal + 1 Duct Tape = 4 throwing Knives (Willing to adjust this based on what people feel makes sense. Seems about right to me.).

1 Pool Cue + 1 Knife = 1 Throwing Spear(Actually a pretty powerful weapon, so this seems alright to me.).

All permissions for use granted. Even to dogs and really intelligent seeming plants.

Oh and if you noticed the Icon looks a little different, I am using the alternate interface mod by david marshall. I highly recommend it.
