Tunneler Hide Recipes

Requires Lonesome Road

Description

Fallout: New Vegas introduced the very western-appropriate option to skin animal hides for trade, and you could even tan some of them for a much greater value. Honest Hearts then came along to allow us to make leather belts out of hides, tan more hides, and even use these hides to improve leather and metal armor. Then Lonesome Road came along and introduced a new hide...that you couldn't do anything with. yay.

This mod adds a number of recipes for Tunneler Hides, inspired by the additions in Honest Hearts.

Tunneler Hide Belts

• []A workbench recipe that will make 6 belts out of one hide. And just like the Honest Hearts belts, we have no idea where the metal buckle comes from.

  Tanned Tunneler Hide

  • []A campfire recipe to tan tunneller hide for greater value or for other recipes. Takes 1 white horsenettle and 2 turpentines to tan one hide. Worth 275 caps.

    Tunneler-backed Armors

    • The same four armors that can be gecko-backed can now be tunneler-backed too. Slightly lighter than their gecko-backed predecessors, they are slightly higher in DT and value. Because there is no fire tunneler, they provide no fire resistance, but they have higher poison and radiation resistances than their gecko counterparts.

      Compatibilities

      Just adds recipes and one misc. item (reusing a vanilla asset), nothing in the game is changed, so it should be compatible with any mod.

      Specifically New Vegas Enhanced Content compatible. NVEC changes the tanning and armor recipes from "campfire" to "workbench." This mod attempts to detect the presence to NVEC and make the same changes to its own recipes. Not tested in every possible mod configuration, but it should line up.
