Gives you the ability to hoard more ammo without turning your inventory into a laggy mess.
I got so tired by my own stash thanks to them 2-5 sec delay every time i try to open it. Wonder what happened so i do a little bit of testing.
Found out that the 100+ stacks ammo box of mine is the reason why it happened. Been searching here and there and haven't found one that tried to tackle this small problem, got kinda pissed a little and so i made these to lessen dis laggy pain peko.
Inspired by incubusraziel Ammo Maker (1.5.1). Shout out to my man right there.
Main feature :
- Ammo Packing
![img1]()
You can pack 10 stacks of ammunition inside an empty crate.
You can both create an empty crate and packing them ammo stacks in by going to equipment crafting menu.
Need 4 Scrap + 2 Fastener to create one Empty Crate
You can unpack them crate by right-clicking said crate inside your inventory.
Also Increase Ammo Boxes size a bit. changed from 20-30 per stack to 30-32.
- Simplified Ammo Crafting
![img3]()
Taken straight from incubus Ammo Maker and stripped it down a lot to squeeze a bit more performance out of it. You only need a powder can and Ammo parts to create bunch of ammos now.
Optional Feature :
(Aimed towards how you procure said Powder can and Ammo parts)
(You can use both feature at the same time)
- Unpack system for Ammo Boxes
![img2]()
Using unpacking system like crates above, You can unpack Ammo Boxes without any disassembly tools now.
- Stronger work tools
Lower the degradation rate of disassembly tools so you can scrape more ammo without going broke trying to maintain them tools. Item affected is Worktool and Swiss Knife.
Mod Requirements :
- DLTX - Differential LTX Loading. is a hard requirement.
- Mod Organizer 2, comes with FOMOD so you can easily pick which feature you wanna use.
Compatibility :
- Compatible with anything thanks to DLTX. BUT will conflict if there is any other DLTX mods that touch vanilla craft x_ammo. It will mess up Simplified Ammo Crafting. Other than that, it's gucci. I think.
- Safe to install mid game, Will broke your save if removed so make a backup btw.
Known Issues :
- None as for now. Do let me know if you found any, ill fix it right away.
Changelog :
- 1.01
Fixed crafting a full box of gauss ammo requires a box now instead of a battery.
Fixed The grenade launcher/ RPG ammo crafts are not showing up, because they have extra commas at the end of their lines.
(Thanks to ldogg69 for finding these out)
Also add a note on how to pick features for anyone who doesn't use MO2.

Sounds good, will try. We need more stuff like this, cause my personal stashes are a pain in the *** tbh
Glad someone got the same idea as mine, this the first step for lessening them pain.
Hopefully i can spread it a more to cover the whole ingame items.
Would be cool if you could pack ammo without using vices same as unpacking
Yep, still trying to find on how to make it like so. First idea i had in mind was trying to make use of item_combination system, but it only allowed 2 items max. Either that is the case or im missing on how the system works.
If that is the case then i probably need to do lua scripting to achieve that packing system but i got no clue where to start on scripting anomaly stuff. Regardless, imma keep trying anyway. Hopefully i can make it more dynamic than this one.
peko approb this mod

The ammo crafting will certainly break the balance of GBOOBS.
Definitely, since you can create high tier ammo just by scraping few bad 9x18. You got any input on how to balance it ?
My idea was to add cleaning kit into the mix. Like, you need pistol cleaning kit for small caliber, shotgun kit for shells, and so on. But well, i dunno if that makes sense realistically. If you got any better idea do tell, i'll put them in.
Also, love your GCRO and Stashes Overhaul btw, been etched into my game since like day 1.
On this note, ammo crafting becomes far too good over buying from traders and even becomes a luckrative income source if you just convert the materials you find into normal rounds. The 7.62x54mm PP rounds is the biggest cheese I've seen out of this since it's 100 rounds for about the same material cost as 30 5.56x45mm rounds. Maybe for now, increase the cost for crafting bullets and reduce the usable materials from old ammo.
Hey, from reading through the files, it seems that crafting a full box of gauss ammo requires a battery instead of a box? But unpacking that box will give you back gauss ammo + a box like with everything else, so you can turn batteries into boxes. Assuming that wasn't intentional?
But anyway, great mod. Finally I can hoard ammo without stash lag :D
Edit: Not sure if this is a weird interaction with some other UI mod I have, but it seems it's possible to unpack one full box several times: If you hit "unpack" again on it before it's converted to separate box + bullets, you'll get several sets of items.
The gauss one is a goof on my part, it should be a box instead of battery, my bad. I'll fix it in a bit.
As for the several unpacking things, it's probably from your UI mods, i can't recreate it in my game.
One more thing I noticed: The grenade launcher/ RPG ammo crafts are not showing up, because they have extra commas at the end of their lines in "mod_craft_boxes".
Glad you caught it, Fixed and thank you. Updated file is up.
hell yes ill be installing this right away, thanks! 10/10
Aye your welcome, hope you enjoyed it.
Excuse me friend, could you also do something similar with the mutant parts and the pieces of weapons and armor? I have the same problem, the inventory takes too long to open
Can we create 70-75 ammo boxes like in "AMMO MAKER VERSION 1.5.1" ?? Cuz making 30 rounds only will be pain in the back :(
Also do we have to get crafting manuels? cuz I can only be able to craft pistol+shotgun rounds.
What file do i need to modify manually to increase the durability of the multitool?
I'm having a CTD on GAMMA when disassembling and moving the items to my inventory
for some reason the ammunition icon appears but not the box icon
