Have you ever caught yourself wondering why you scour the Commonwealth for things such as lightbulbs in order to scrap them into copper in order to make...more lightbulbs?
Not with this mod you won't!
This is part four of my Realistic Construction Recipes series of tweaks, this time focusing on settlement lighting.
I've always thought the crafting recipes in Fallout 4 were way too simple and lenient, especially when we are spending hours finding virtually a hundred unique pieces of junk in the wasteland. I had always wished that more crafting recipes required specific items which would logically be required to construct the recipe. Along with Realistic Construction Recipes - Turrets , Realistic Construction Recipes - Generators, and Realistic Construction Recipes - Workbenches this mod aims to make you feel like you're actually putting together a functional settlement, not slapping a few pieces of copper and glass together.
What It Does:
This mod updates the crafting recipes for light fixtures to require the apparent number of lightbulbs in the item. For the most part, the vanilla components were left unchanged (as the fixture still requires copper wiring, there's more glass then just the bulb in the item, etc) with the exception of the bare lightbulb and ceiling fan items, which I removed the glass requirement because they really ARE just the bulb in the fixture.
Because lightbulbs do not appear to be in many of the vanilla leveled lists, I use a small script to inject them into the leveled lists for the Toolbox (1), Large Toolbox (3), and any vendor who has a chance to sell copper scrap items (5).
For Wasteland Workshop users I also added wood to the one wooden light fixture which strangely doesn't require wood, and made the Blue and Yellow Table Lamps require those junk items, while removing the ceramic, steel, and glass requirements.
**When downloading, choose either the Main (no WW) file OR the Wasteland Workshop file, not both!**
Compatibility:
This mod should be compatible with any other mod so long as they do not edit the crafting recipes for the light fixtures. The lightbulbs are injected into the Leveled Lists through a small script, so this mod should be safe with anything else that edits those leveled lists.
Thank you so much for checking my mod out!
