I made some mods. They’re very simple, tedious, but simple.

The two being concerned right now are Craftable Ammunition Magazines & Belt Links, and Craftable Ammunition Magazines’ Realguns Extension.

They do pretty much what they say on the tin. Craftable Ammunition Magazines & Belt Links allows the player to craft, well, ammunition magazines and belt links. They’re high-end craft products, requiring Fabrication in the 6-7 range and a copy of The Handloader’s Helper - or that you disassemble the mag you want to learn to make by heart - and a whole _pile_ of crafting tools.

But you’ll be able to craft factory-specification ammunition magazines, so you don’t run into the absurd situation I hate running into where I looted several gun stores and hardly had any magazines to load the weapons I had - if any at all, as someone made a “handload haven” gun store alternate where the guns spawn without magazines or ammo.

You’ll also be able to craft a barometer.

The extension for the realguns mod does, well, exactly what it says on the tin, allowing you to craft magazines for the weapons added by the Real Guns mod.

[e] Added the recipe to craft an electric polisher.

I probably would have just made a bunch of makeshift magazines but this works too.

I didn’t do that, for a few reasons.

1] I dislike “makeshift” items. I mean, they have their place, don’t get me wrong, but that place is early game, not when you have everything short of a CNC autolathe and the skills to match.  
2] If you’re using a graphical tileset, new items won’t appear even if you “copy-from”: them from another item, which is jarring and out-of-place.

Yeah the tile set thing is annoying.
