1. DESCRIPTION
===============

This patch resolves conflicts between PEACE, Better Manufacturing and Manufacturing Extended, as well as adding crafting of items from PEACE to the factory machines from those mods.

For more detail on what the patch does to each of those mods:


***Better Manufacturing***

- Renames some items for the sake of clarity and consistency. Notably:
--- Body Decomposer -> Body Scrapper
--- Decomposer Hopper -> Body Scrapper - Hopper
--- Chem Utility Builder -> Aid Builder
--- Drug Builder -> Chem Builder
--- Full Suit Armor Forge -> Armor Forge - Full Suit

- Misc Changes:
--- Aid Builder and Chem Builder recipes altered to match PEACE values.
--- Aid Builder no longer builds certain items (mostly certain optional items from Better Manufacturing) to reserve their recipe "slots" for items more appropriate to PEACE:
----- Cutting Fluid (A little redundant when you can manufacture the "Cutting Fluid Large" from Better Manufacturing in this machine.)
----- Leather Roll (From Better Manufacturing. Can still be hand-crafted.)
----- Military Fiber Roll (From Better Manufacturing. Can still be hand-crafted.)
----- Robot Repair Kit. (In favour of building it in the more appropriate "Tech Builder" factory machine, in WARS.)
--- Aid Builder can now build:
----- Antibiotics (From Moldy Food)
----- Blood Pack, Glowing (From Blood Pack, Safe)
----- Bone Glue, from PEACE.
----- Hydra, from PEACE.
----- Rubber Cement, from PEACE.
--- Butchering animals via PEACE can now produce Animal Fat from Better Manufacturing.
--- Body Scrapper machines now handle DLC creatures.
----- Results for some creatures are slightly mismatched due to the way the script (from Manufacturing Extended) works, and some creatures sharing the same race type.
--- Body Scrapper machines now use PEACE butchery values for the items produced - so they produce vastly more meat, bones, hide, etc.
--- Body Scrapper machines now produce different results when scrapping different robot types.
--- Replaces items from Better Manufacturing with items from PEACE, as appropriate:
----- Adhesive Bottle -> Bone Glue
----- Blood Draw Kit -> Empty Blood Pack, Sterile
--- Armour produced in the "Armor Forge - Full Suit" factory machine now comes "Pocketed" or "Deep Pocketed" by default.
--- Rebalanced component and perk requirements for armour that is covered by factory machines, for consistency across modification, scrapping, crafting and manufacture.


***Manufacturing Extended***

- Disables building of these machines, since they're made redundant by Better Manufacturing:
--- Auto-Butcher
--- Robot Disassembler

- Misc Changes:
--- Inventory Management Brain now handles Aid, Ammo and Component items from DLC and PEACE.
--- Replaces items from Manufacturing Extended with items from PEACE, as appropriate:
----- Ghoul, Human and Mutant meat -> (PEACE) Ghoul, Human and Super Mutant meat.
--- Fusion Core crafting disabled. (They're already overabundant in the game, and the implementation here exacerbated that.)
--- Rebalanced component and perk requirements for armour that is covered by factory machines, for consistency across modification, scrapping, crafting and manufacture.

2. Requirements
===============

- Project Extend And Change Everything (PEACE)
- Better Manufacturing
- Manufacturing Extended

========================
3. INSTALLATION/UNINSTALLATION
========================

***Installation***

Manufacturing Extended:

- Install as usual, using your mod manager.



Manufacturing Extended Expanded:

- Don't install this. It's not needed here and will likely conflict.



Better Manufacturing:

- In the Better Manufacturing FOMOD menu that should pop up when you install it via your mod manager, select these options:
--- Patch Type - Complex
--- Menu Organization - Menu Organization
--- Weaponsmith Extended - NONE
--- ECO - NONE
--- Manufacturing Extended - Manufacturing Extended Additions
--- Manufacturing Extended Expanded - None
--- Valdacil - None
--- Patches - None (The Soylent Green patch may be fine, but I haven't tested it. Same with LOADS, but note that it is not compatible with WARS.)
--- Source Files - Papyrus Scripts (If you know you need them. Otherwise ignore this.)

- Follow the Complex Patching Instructions included on the Better Manufacturing Nexus page.


- After installation, all files - including the readme (please read the readme) - will be found in your \Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 4\Data\ directory.

=====================
4. PLAYING THE MOD
=====================

This is a convenient place to recommend that you place the Inventory Management Brain from Manufacturing Extended, and use it after building a bunch of items using factory machines.

Place the items in the Workshop inventory before toggling power to the "Brain". (On or off; doesn't matter.) This will consolidate stacks of items into single references, which should reduce Workshop-related lag (and perhaps the size of save files).


Beyond that, nothing special here; just install and play.

5. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
===============

None so far.

6. SAVE GAMES
===============

- Installing this patch (at the same time as the mods it covers) should be fine for existing saves.

- It is not recommended to uninstall this patch if you intend to keep using a save file made with it installed.

============================
7. CONFLICTS / KNOWN ISSUES
============================

Conflicts:

- Use FO4Edit to identify records edited by this patch that may conflict with other mods.


Known Issues:

- The Recycler factory machine (called "Junk Scrapper" if you're using WARS-BME) from Manufacturing Extended does not account for the new Paper component added by PEACE.
--- The script itself would need to be edited to add new components to it, and Manufacturing Extended does not include script source.
----- Additionally, the Champollion decompiler chokes on the script. I don't want to write a replacement script from scratch to account for this one thing.
--- The Component Extractor (also from Manufacturing Extended) should account for Paper just fine, however.
