Ammo Crafting V1.1

Having trouble finding that ammo for your old Earth weapon? Finding it difficult to keep your Magshear properly fed? Are your outposts producing resources just so you can grind some XP with adaptive frames no one will ever use? Fret no more my firend! Put those resources to work and grind some experience you can actually use! Craft ammo, mines and grenades at your nearest industrial workbench for fun and profit!

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK – xEdit is still experimental at this point. I have added and removed the mod mid-game with no issues, but if you brick your save that’s on you. Make a hard save prior to installing that you can roll back to if you experience issues.

Version 1.1 added mines and grenades and seriously changed the crafting requirements to add a little more balance and difficulty. See the version 1.1 requirements list in images for all the changes.

I am open to suggestions on making improvements to either components, quantities produced, perks required, etc.

Mod requires Plugin.txt Enabler and/or setting the file in the StarfieldCustom.ini (credit to 0arisaka0)

you need to add lines to the Starfield.ini and StarfieldCustom.ini to work

add this to the [General] sections
sTestFilex=MakeAmmo.esm
…where X is the number of .esp/.esm you need loaded, starting at 1

so if this is the first file you have it would be…
sTestFile1=MakeAmmo.esm

Plans include an automated manufacturer for outposts.
