LE Melting down items

[Ozisl]

It would be quite handy to be able to melt down/recover materials from all of the useless items you find (steel daggers etc) to gain crafting materials from them... since you can "harvest" magical mods and get hides easily, this would make crafting a lot easier and the useless loot useful.

I was thinking that last night!

Yup - that'd be great

It's on my list. Atleast melting down some common stuffs... a lot of it depends on how hard-coded the systems are.

I wanted to make a mod that would cause ore veins to respawn but I like this idea better. If I had to guess I'd say that the crafting stations are a type of container activator that can be altered using scripts or interface. It would be very unwise of them to rely on hardcoding every time they needed to make a minor change/addition/deletion from the crafting system. Best way would be to add a new section to smelter called "Salvage" With a list recipei for every basic weapon type. Enchanted weapons/Legendary can't be melted down.

Well, they're probably re-using stuff related to Fallout's crafting. In which case, the recipes are linked to a specific station and are hard coded to that station, so making a new station might not be possible. What might work instead would be adding new recipes to the smelter, but even that may not be easy depending on how they have it all setup.
