Ammo Smelting for Arsenal and Brita

Description
Ammo Smelting Mod for Brita/Arsenal gun packs

ALL RECIPES ARE LOCATED IN THE 'SMELTING' TAB OF THE CRAFTING INTERFACE.
All recipes are known at the beginning, no skillbook requirement.

- Allows smelting of all projectiles and casings into lead and brass, and re-forging them back into any projectile,
- Allows cutting paper into scraps to make shotgun hulls,
- Allows mixing of primer,
- Allows creating primer (Gunpowder + Aluminium) and gunpowder (Log + full bag of Compost/NPK fertilizer + full pack of matches = 2 full jars of Gunpowder),
- Allows recycling jewelry into lead
- Allows recycling cutlery and similar into lead
- Allows recycling pop cans and pans into Aluminium
- Allows recycling Car batteries into lead
- Allows scrapping .22 LR
- Allows crafting 40mm grenades
- Allows recycling Aluminium into brass

- Adds recipes for the Ammo Smelter needed for doing the above (Not very difficult. needs Metalworking 2, various metalworking materials)
- Adds recipe for making the reloading bench from Arsenal (Difficult. Needs Metalworking 3, Reloading 4, a lot of semi-rare materials, in case you're unlucky like me and can't find one anywhere)

All crafts except smelting shotgun hulls are lossless and give small to medium experience in Metalworking and Reloading. Smelting shotgun hulls wastes the paper scraps needed to make them, but those can be cut out of all non-skillbook paper items.

For anyone who's interested I published an updated version of this mod that should hopefully help with some of the issues related to massive amounts of items this mod creates by instead making them "drainable" items (Ex: GunPowder) here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3561587018

For the original mod creator: Feel free to just take my changes and put them in your mod and make mine redundant. I just wanted a version with the changes I made and felt it was worth publishing it

Great mod Borsek, thank you for that.

I noticed that when I try to produce some products, only the raw material gets removed but I don't receive the end product. So far it has happened with "Cast projectile 5.56mm", "Make Casing 5.56x45mm" and "Make Lee Load-Master Reloading Press". Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

To anyone attempting to use this mod on server, be careful when smelting large amount of projectile lead at a time. If done excessively (>1k lead projectile or brass), IT MIGHT CRASH THE CLIENT AND SERVER . Do the lead projectile in small parts, craft them into bullets first, rinse and repeat.

If i might suggest, maybe reduce the amount of lead and brass produced from smelting; but at the same time also reduce the required materials to craft bullet. Or maybe, as someone suggested below, make the crafting recipe in bulk (ie. 10 lead projectile and brass create 10 bullet per 1 recipe)

I would also like to know if its okay to add mid playthrough and if it works on multiplayer

Is this mod safe to get mid playthrough?

When creating 00-buckshot from project lead, it does 1 Projectile for buckshot, maybe tweak it to 3 so shotgun ammo is made faster?

When right clicking Paper Scraps gives 2-4 errors and also when crafting mixed primer it plays a forever audio for the other MP player so i mean when the activity is canceled it still plays the crafting audio. please update!

This mod is a MUST HAVE if you use brita, and honestly should be how reloading was handled. It turns the reloading bench from a frilly toy to a real asset, makes ammo recycling circular and viable, while also making many of the game's useless scrap items into a valuable commodity. This mod isn't just underrated; I have zero clue why it's less than 5 stars.

It's really everything you could want, and aside from the minor lag from object values (having 3000 projectile lead makes the game sad), it's both fairly in-depth and realistic, and even adds a way to level up 'reloading' in a way that makes sense. I only wish there were bulk ammo recipes, otherwise this mod really does everything.

Love the mod! Just wish there was a way to craft in bulks to save some time. Other than that the mod is fantastic. :beer_mug:

Shotgun shells appear to be in need of refactoring, currently takes 36 projectile lead to make one 12g shell, it would make sense to make it 8 or 12, in the case of 12 projectile lead it's as simple as giving 3 shells when crafting the final piece of ammunition.
