war77 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 So I have yet to see a mod that actually makes all those burnt books useful. as of now they just sit there, they weigh too much for their value to collect and sell, and you cant do anything else with them. Has anyone made a mod that lets you use them to craft bandages or stimpacks, or use them as repair for armor, like padding yourself with them? Anything? It pains me to just see all these items the developers made, put to absolutely no use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony the Wookie Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 makeing armor out of burnt books... putting burnt books into a syringe and injecting it into your arm... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeonicGlory Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Kinda reminds me of the stories of people surviving stabbings by having magazines on the inside of their coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadarocker Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 If I didn't suck at GECK, modeling and pretty much everything except for texturing (which wouldn't really even been needed). I would make a build-able burnt book armoured suit or something. Well the developers made use of anything that is in the wasteland they are useless items that would be there.

darkus37 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Why not just have a perk or something to convert 10 ruined or burnt books into pre-war books like the nuka-colas into quantums? You can sell those for caps and the books become worthwhile to gather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaosals42 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Or maybe with a nuclear winter mod that'll affect your survivability in the game, it could also be used for firewood (and I seriously do mean this actually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war77 Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 I was thinking, if you had 1 book and 1 dirty water on you, and you use a kit, or even just the book, it uses them up and creates a bandage that you can use, that does like +10hp over 30 seconds. A small heal, but useful if you are out of stimpacks and stuff, and readily available. With the refill mods this would also make empty bottles laying around useful too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadarocker Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 We should use more than just burnt books- tin can and other "useless" materials should be "reworked".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty07 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'm working on a mod that adds stories to the books of the waste as well as adding a few of my own (check my sig). I'm also thinking of integrating a quest with a perk reward or maybe a weapon that will use the books for ammo and repair. Mostly ideas at the moment, but the stories are being integrated as we speak. Might be something your interested in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeonicGlory Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 We should use more than just burnt books- tin can and other "useless" materials should be "reworked".. Tin cans do have a use; they're used for crafting Nuka Grenades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
