[1.1] Revised Ammo Maker (RAM) addon

For those unaware what the original does:

• replaces ammo recipes with custom ones
• Ammo decomposes into 3 major components: casings, powder and bullets
• Disassembly yields variable amount of components

Salvaging ammunition is currently not really worth it and the ammunition acquisition relies solely on the currency-based in-game economy.

This modification mainly fixes bugs and inconsistencies of the original ammo maker whilst making ammunition crafting an important but optional part of the gameplay loop that is worth doing without making the currency-based acquisition obsolete (really depends on your settings :D).

This addon includes somewhat realistic recipes by default, meaning you only need one bullet head and casing for one cartridge. These are optional and can of be changed, of course.

All ammunition recipes are unlocked by default.

I tried my best to make this mod as configurable as possible so it suits the needs of many players.

Differences to the Original

Gameplay

• Fixed missing component on salvage
  Bugged base anomaly function was the culprit (resulted in salvage loss up to 40%)
• Added an MCM menu (Ammo Maker)
• Three salvage presets are available now
  The preset is either determined by the progression difficulty or can be manually set via MCM.
• Non-linear probability
  Chance for 0-100% yield but will be around 50% - 75% over time (Depends on settings in MCM)
• Recipes only require one Bullet and Casing per Cartridge (OPTIONAL)
• Cartridge box sizes are normalized to 10 and 15 (no more 13,14,16 round boxes) (OPTIONAL)
• Propellant yield is more realistic (OPTIONAL)
• Craftable bullets and casings in exchange for scrap metal (OPTIONAL)
  small chance for scrap metal to spawn on corpses
• Can not get more components from disassembly than needed in the crafting recipe
• Correct salvage amounts when disassembling partial ammo stacks (boxes)
• Ammunition components are highlighted in the inventory when hovering over ammunition
• Tool degradation is not a placebo anymore (Adjustable via MCM)
• Disassembly message now shows the total amount of cartridges salvaged (OPTIONAL)
• Increased ammunition component cost and weight slightly

Technical (interesting for modders)

• Removed separate BAS Recipe injection
• Changed ammunition declaration method
  Via (D)LTX in configs/items/settings/craft.ltx
• Salvage components and their amounts are determined via the crafting recipe
  LTX's in configs/parts are obsolete
• Cartridge-specific salvage yield are balanced through configs/plugins/ammo_maker
  See importer.ltx for further information
• Compatible with recipes added via /configs/items/ammo
  Disabled by default and uses workshop_autoinject for this
• Added functions for external use
  Documented in the header of ammo_maker.script

Compatibility

Should only conflict with addons that overwrite ammo_maker.script

RAM has support for Mod Configuration Menu. It is not mandatory.
The default values can be modified in the ammo_maker_mcm script.

Recipes for some additional ammunition are included:

• Boomsticks & Sharpsticks
• 10mm Auto Ecosystem
• Ammo EFT

Installation

Base Anomaly

Modded EXE (DLTX mod) is needed for it to work as intended

Remove the original Ammo Maker, if installed.
Keep 003 - Realistic Bullet and Casing Quantity enabled
Note: The additional recipes provided also follow that theme

GAMMA

1. Deactivate 145- Ammo Maker and 146- Ammo Maker BAS Patch in Mod Organizer
   These are unnecessary at this point
2. Deactivate Wildkin's Ammo Parts on Hover in Mod Organizer
   RAM includes a monkey patch of this by default
3. Select the Boomsticks & Sharpsticks recipes during the installation.

Assign RAM the highest priority in Mod Organizer

Escape From Pripyat

I do not play it myself but I had a look in their modlist.
You should be good to go by replicating the steps 1 & 3 for GAMMA and the 2nd optional step.
Any report of this working with EFP would be great!

Optional Steps

1. If you dislike the new crafting recipes

1. Select 04 - Inject Workshop Recipes in the archive
2. Activate Force Injection in the MCM menu

2. If you are using additional ammunition addons for which I did not create recipes

1. Select 04 - Inject Workshop Recipes in the archive
2. If the addons you intend to use contain ammo variants (e.g in ArtiGrok):
   Activate Inject ammunition variants in the MCM menu

How to add / modify recipes

Recipes are added the same way as in configs/items/settings/craft.ltx
An example for a DLTX file is located in 003 - Realistic Casing and Bullet Quantity

Suggestions

I am open for any suggestions, ideas or constructive criticism. I had many ideas during the development of this modification but most were not realized or scrapped because it made the mod unnecessarily complicated.

For example bonuses and penalties which were applied depending on your health, safety and other factors.

Another idea was to add support for Haruka's Skill system to gradually get better at salvaging ammunition.
