Changelogs
Version 1.13
Added a recipe for crafting Med-X
Version 1.12
Fixed an issue that made Nuka Cola Quantum and Nuka Cola Cherry craftable as long as the player did NOT have the required perks. Oops.
Version 1.11
Changed all gadgets to last 20 minutes, up from 15.
Most gadgets (all except Stealth/Cloak boys) now require a fusion core as an ingredient.
Turbo duration reduced from 30 seconds to 21 seconds.
Version 1.10
Fixed a tooltip error with Cateye. Only four lucky winners got the wrong one.
Version 1.09
Small update.
Added new chem: Cateye - Grants night vision for 4 minutes.
Version 1.08
-Added new chem: Overload - Increases all SPECIAL stats by 4, and increases damage dealt by 50% for 2 minutes, but causes damage over time to the user while in effect. (Chemist 4)
-Added new chem: Catalyst - Doubles the duration of any chem taken within 60 seconds. (Chemist 1)
-Steady is now more powerful, but now requires Chemist 2.
-Turbo now also increases movement speed (so you move roughly the same speed as normal, despite time being slowed), but now requires Chemist 3.
-RadOff now removes 200 radiation. Up from 150.
-Added a second rank of the Reaper Syringe which deals 15 damage per second. (Chemist 3 required)
Lumberfoot no longer requires acid to craft. Rebound no longer requires acid to craft.
Damage dealing syringes have been improved, based on feedback and personal testing showing them to still significantly underperform in late game at high difficulty, compared to all other weapon types. Feedback, after testing, on the new versions would be appreciated.
-Rank 1 Bleedout now deals its damage in 6 seconds instead of 10. (6 Damage Per Second -> 10 DPS) -Rank 2 Bleedout damage increased from 90 damage over 10 seconds to 104 damage over 8 seconds. (9 DPS -> 13 DPS) -Rank 3 Bleedout damage increased from 120 damage over 10 seconds to 170 damage over 10 seconds. (12 DPS -> 17 DPS) -Rank 4 Bleedout damage increased from 150 damage over 10 seconds to 286 damage over 13 seconds. (15 DPS -> 22 DPS) -Rank 5 Bleedout damage increased from 200 damage over 10 seconds to 450 damage over 15 seconds. (20 DPS -> 30 DPS) -Lumberfoot's damage has increased from 75 to 100. -Reaper's damage has increased from 5 per second to 8 per second.
Version 1.07
Fixed bug with the perk conditional check for Nuke Mines and Nuka Grenades. They should be craftable now if you have the correct perks. (They were uncraftable if you had Science 3. Whoops.)
Moved Nuke Mines to the "Mines" category of the chemistry station.
-Added 3 recipes for crafting Fusion Cores into the Utility tab at the chemistry station. They require either Nuclear Physicist 1, Science 2, or Idiot Savant 3. It is around the same cost to buy a fusion cores or buy the parts (via shipments) using the Nuclear Physicist recipe. It's more expensive to buy parts and make your own cores through Science or Idiot Savant, but may be convenient if you scrounge a lot of materials. The cores were going to be used as ingredients for gadgets, but ammo can't currently be set as a crafting component. :(
-Added gadgets which require various levels of the "Science!" perk to craft:
-Added Bag Boy: Dampen gravity in your backpack to gain +100 carry weight for 15 minutes. (Science 1) -Added Ward Boy: +25 Damage Resist and + 40 Energy Resist for 15 minutes. (Science 2) -Added recipe for the vanilla Stealth Boy. (Science 2) -Added Mirror Boy: +25% Dodge Chance for 15 minutes. (Science 3) -Added Cloak Boy: Split a stealth boy into 5 units that each only have 8 seconds of invisibility. Intended to be hotkeyed. (Science 3) -Added Shield Boy: Combines Ward and Mirror Boys for +33% dodge, +30 damage resist, and +60 energy resist for 15 minutes. (Science 4)
New Medicines (Medic perk required):
-Added RadOff: -150 Rads. Watered down RadAway, for when you don't need the real thing, but that red bar is bothering you. (Medic 1) -Added Super Stimpak: +75% Health. Heals twice as fast as a standard Stimpak. +50 HP for 1 minute. (Medic 2) -Added Regenitol: +1% Health regenerated per second for 4 minutes. (Medic 3) -Added Ultra Stimpak: Heals all damage almost instantly. +100 Max HP for 1 minute. Causes the user to take 2 damage per second for 60 seconds afterwards. (Medic 4)
Version 1.04
-Reduced crafting cost of Addictol in both versions.
-Added Beer, Bourbon, Rum, Whiskey, Wine, and Vodka to the craftable recipes in both versions. They craft in batches of 5. (Beverages tab of cooking station)
-Added missing Psychotats recipe to both versions.
-Reduced the weight of Bleedout Syringe to 0. (My 5000 .38 rounds don't weigh me down...)
-Added Battle Brew: +50 HP Max, +50 Damage Resist, +2 STR, -1 INT for 4 minutes. +40 Max AP for 20 seconds. (beverage tab of cooking station)
-Added Absinthe: +2 PER, +2 CHA, -2 INT for 4 minutes. Crafts in batches of 3.
-Added Atomic Cocktail: +50 Energy Resist for 4 minutes, 9 Rads.
-Added Black Coffee to offset all the booze in this update. +3 INT, +1 AGI, -1 PER for 8 minutes. Rested XP bonus for the adventurer on the go.
-Added Steady: +50% VATS chance to hit for 60 seconds. Highly addictive. Not doing custom addictions yet. The effect is multiplicative (so a 50% VATS shot becomes a 75% with Steady) Can't get the spread/recoil reduction of the F:NV version working yet. Feedback regarding the +% VATS chance would be appreciated (too strong, too weak). Keep in mind that the comparable chem (Orange Mentats) provides +5 PER (higher base accuracy), +10% VATS accuracy, and lasts 8 minutes.
Version 1.03
Added Buffout to the crafting recipes in both basic and full versions.
Radscorpion venom changed to deal 90 damage over 3 seconds. Changed Reaper to use glowing fungus instead of cave fungus. Fixed Squish tooltip/info.
Added survival-skill based healing from Fallout: New Vegas: -Healing powder: Heals 36 health over 18 seconds. Reduces perception by 2 for 18 seconds. Easy to make and crafts in batches of 2. -Bitter drink: Heals 90 health over 18 seconds. -Healing poultice: Heals as much as a stimpack, plus 90 health over 18 seconds.
**Note** The healing will be slower/take longer in survival difficulty. Seems to be 10 times longer. I might adjust/shorten the healing time on these items to account for that in the future. Feedback appreciated.
Added survival-skill based antivenom from Fallout: New Vegas: -Antivenom: Increases poison resistance by 50 for 8 minutes. -Blood Shield: Increases poison resistance by 100 for 2 minutes, and recovers 50 health. -Snakebite Tourniquet: Increases poison resistance by 1000 for 30 seconds.
Version 1.02
Changed Radscorpion Venom syringe to deal more damage: 7 damage per second for 15 seconds. Up from 4 damage per second for 10 seconds.
Added new Syringer darts (Unlocked with ranks in Chemist):
Reaper: Deals 5 damage per second for 3 minutes. (can stack with itself) Lumberfoot: Target falls over, taking 75 damage, and becoming confused for a few seconds. Cold Feet: Causes the target to take cold damage and run away for 15 seconds. Squish: Target's damage resistance is lowered by 50%. Sucker Punch: Target is knocked out for 45 seconds, and has a hard time detecting enemies for 15 seconds after waking. Burnout: Target catches on fire, and attacks anything in sight for 2 minutes.
Version 1.01
Fixed bug in vanilla game involving Fury not working once you had Big Leagues rank 2. Fixed bug to allow Fury and Slasher to buff unarmed damage. Added Syringer as craftable item. Modified Bleedout to do 60 damage over 10 seconds. (up from 30 damage over 10 seconds) Added new ranks of Bleedout darts, unlockable with Chemist perk. Changed all syringer ammo to craft in batches of 5, instead of one at a time.
Commonwealth Chemistry Expanded Better living through post-apocalyptic medicine, and science... and duct tape!
This mod adds many new crafted items and recipes, including chems, medicine, gadgets, syringer darts, and beverages. There are two versions of the mod, to suit your individual preferences.
Basic Version: This version only contains recipes for chems and alcohol which are found in the base game of Fallout 4, but can't normally be crafted, such as:
Chems:
Calmex: +3 AGI, +3 PER, +2x to sneak damage multiplier for 8 minutes.
Daddy-O: +3 PER, +3 INT, -2 CHA for 10 minutes.
Daytripper: +3 CHA, +3 LUCK, -2 STR, for 5 minutes.
Addictol: Cures all addictions. (Found in the Healing tab at chemistry station)
X-Cell: +2 to all SPECIAL stats for 2 minutes.
Buffout: +2 END, +2 STR, +50 Max HP for 8 minutes.
Antivenom: Increases Poison Resist by 50 for 8 minutes.
Blood Shield: Increases Poison Resist by 100 for 2 minutes, and recovers 50 health.
Snakebite Tourniquet: Increases Poison Resist by 1000 for 30 seconds.
Medicine:

Bitter Drink: Heals 90 health over 18 seconds.
Healing Poultice: Heals as much as a stimpack, plus 90 health over 18 seconds. -1 AGI for 18 seconds.
RadOff: -200 Rads. Watered down RadAway. When you don't need the real thing, but that red bar is bothering you. Crafts in batches of 3. (Medic 1)
Super Stimpak: +75% Health. Heals twice as fast as a standard Stimpak. +50 Max HP for 1 minute. (Medic 2)
Regenitol: +1% Health regenerated per second for 4 minutes. (Medic 3)
Ultra Stimpak: Heals all damage almost instantly. +100 Max HP for 1 minute. Causes the user to take 2 damage per second for 60 seconds afterwards. (Medic 4)
Fusion Cores: 3 recipes for crafting Fusion Cores can be found in the Utility tab at the chemistry station. They require either Nuclear Physicist 1, Science 2, or Idiot Savant 3. It is around the same cost to buy a fusion core or buy the parts (via shipments) using the Nuclear Physicist recipe. It's more expensive to buy parts and make your own cores through Science or Idiot Savant, but may be convenient if you scrounge a lot of materials.
Gadgets (New category at the chemistry station):
Bag Boy: Dampen gravity in your backpack to gain +100 carry weight for 20 minutes. (Science 1)
Ward Boy: +25 Damage Resist and + 40 Energy Resist for 20 minutes. (Science 2)
Stealth Boy (vanilla item): 30 seconds of invisibility. (Science 2)
Mirror Boy: +25% Dodge Chance for 20 minutes. (Science 3)
Cloak Boy: Split a stealth boy into 5 units that each only have 8 seconds of invisibility. Intended to be hotkeyed. (Science 3)
Shield Boy: Combines Ward and Mirror Boys for +33% dodge, +30 damage resist, and +60 energy resist for 20 minutes. (Science 4)
*** Note: Gadgets give off a small amount of radiation upon activation. Most gadgets require a fusion core to craft.
Grenades & Mines:
Frenzy Gas Grenade: Has a chance to make affected targets attack anyone in sight for 60 seconds. (Grenade tab) This is already in the base game, just requires a very special ingredient that I didn't see in my first playthrough, so I made a more readily available version. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Nuka Grenade: Vanilla item. Now craftable at the chemistry station. (Science 3, Demolitions Expert 3)
Nuke Mine: Vanilla item. Now craftable at the chemistry station. (Science 3, Demolitions Expert 4)
Syringer Improvements:
All syringer darts are crafted in batches of 5, instead of 1 at a time.
The syringer itself can be crafted at the Chemistry station (Utility tab).
The Bleedout syringes for the syringer are now more powerful, weightless, and stronger versions can be unlocked and crafted with the Chemist perk.
Radscorpion Poison syringes now deal more damage over a shorter period of time.
New Syringer darts (Unlocked with ranks in Chemist):
Reaper: Deals 8 damage per second for 3 minutes. (can stack with itself)
Lumberfoot: Target falls over, taking 100 damage, and becoming confused for a few seconds.
Cold Feet: Causes the target to take cold damage and run away for 15 seconds.
Squish: Target's damage resistance is lowered by 50%.
Sucker Punch: Target is knocked out for 45 seconds, and has a hard time detecting enemies for 15 seconds after waking.
Burnout: Target catches on fire, and attacks anything in sight for 2 minutes.
Future Plans & Random Thoughts: I've managed to add most of the stuff that I wanted for now. I'm going to focus on testing and balancing what's already in the game for a while. I'll most likely add some high grade chems that require higher ranks of chemist at some point.
Once the GECK is out, or if I figure out how to do it sooner: I'll try to tweak Turbo to be more like its original incarnation (short duration, extreme time dilation), and probably try to make other versions of the gas grenade (calm, fear, poison, anti-gravity, who knows).
Personally, I love when fights are tough enough that chems become a critical resource, to be managed and used when needed most. When I started my second playthrough as pure melee, I started looking for a mod that would let me craft X-Cell or Calmex, then decided I'd make it myself. Then I got nostalgic for all my hours in New Vegas, happily swinging Knock-Knock around, while ramped up on half a dozen chems, and decided to see if I could recreate a few of them.
Hopefully you'll enjoy the mod. If you have any constructive criticism, comments, or suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.
