Using certain medical items gets you back some of its crafting items.
I wanted to make myself use Drug making kit more so I made addon in which certain medical consumables drop some drug-making parts into your inventory, just like stimpacks drops empty syringes. I didn't want to make all the drugs drop items for balancing purposes. Also, this addon is fairly simplistic but its my first one, thus feedback is welcome.
Table shows which item spawns which part:
CONFLICTS:
This addon modifies : itms_manager.itx and itms_manager.script files
Its fairly simple and compatibility should be easy to make with other addons that modify these files.
Compatibility patches:
Grok's Body Health System Redux
Thanks to Asshall for showing me how to make scripts.
Vewy noice ! 11/10 would take drugs again
Looks nice, will try :)
Good idea with this mod, the difficulty to obtain jars considering the ammount of waste and disposables from usables was somehow contradictory. But.. (always a but)
Suggestions:
According to the icons in the game, they show something like:
+Antirad coming with a packed syringe (would be plastic film + syringe, but no jar)
+Cocaine coming just in a plastic film, (no jar, would consider perhaps a paper sheet as well)
+Ordinary stimpacks come just as loose syringes, no plastic film (very dirty)
+instead, first aid kits do contain jars for pills and such,
+radioprotectant is just wrapped pill, plastic film
Finally, it could also be considered for the dropped items to be randomized somehow. Consider that, when things are used in a hurry (like emergency items) syringes can break, as well as jars and plastic film can be teared when misused - you get the idea.
I understand certain drops make no sense according to icons. I wanted to make drugs somewhat "renewable".
For example: to make cocaine you need hercules, and hercules requires jar. Therefore cocaine drops a jar. Perphaps it would be best when crafting cocaine you get a jar drop from hercules.
I do like the idea of randomizing dropped items.
I might do those things, depending on how complex they are to implement.
Thanks for the feedback!
i also have edits to my mod that does this, i have already added similar things like syringes from certain meds, and recyling jars as well as new crafts.
