📋 About This Mod

Stinger is a (relatively) lore friendly energy drink for the wastes.

Balanced for use with Sweet Consumables.

A standard ySI patch is included, and an optional colored ySI icon patch is available in the optional files.

Hardcore and non-hardcore supported.

They have been hand-placed in interiors and can also be found in loot.

Stinger flavors and effects:

Stinger

Stinger tastes like chemicals, but it keeps you going when you're worn down. Decent health, sleep dep, and AP restoration, but it's pretty radioactive.

Spinel Stinger

Delicious and refreshing, Spinel is not as powerful, but it restores dehydration.

Apple Stinger

Tangy and flavorful, Apple is a longer caffeine buzz, granting slower health restoration, but also providing decent active AP regen.

Watermelon StingerWhile not as flavorful as other Stingers, Watermelon provides ongoing AP restoration, and is an excellent companion for sprint AP drain that'll help with your thirst.

Citrine Stinger

Citrine has an acrid orange taste, that sticks with you and provides a long max AP boost.

Venom Stinger

Smaller, but proportionally stronger than the regular Stinger, Venom useful to keep around for intense combat situations in which you use a lot of AP.

Midnight Stinger

Non-caffeinated and best consumed before bed, Midnight is a tame, blueberry flavor that will restore health well, but make you real sleepy.

Bio-Stinger

A powerful, but caustic, "purple" flavored beverage, Bio-Stinger is a substantial buff, at cost of immediate dehydration and radiation, and long term sleep deprivation increase.

Phantom Stinger

Phantom Stinger has a relatively bland "white" flavor, but it's potent caffeination offsets the strain of crouch walking, allowing you a substantial sneak buff.

There is one of each flavor of Stinger in Three Dog's room in GNR, if you fancy a scavenger hunt.

Requirements:

JIP LN, xNVSE, Johnny, the usual stuff.

Installation::

Regular installation.

Optionally, install the colored ySI patch if you'd like.

Load Order::

Load order is unimportant.

The "Sweet Economy" suite of mods (STARS+SWEEP+Sweet Consumables+SPARE) is most recommended, but SITE or a similar hard-edit based economy overhaul will also do. This file should be placed lower in your load order than SITE.

Those who do not use such an economy overh
