Mod Idead - Fusion Core Overhaul

[void666]

I love the implementation of power armors in fallout 4. But fusion cores are so simplistic and easy to get. It doesn't take too long to hoard dozens of fusion cores.

 

My plan is to have 4 fusion core types. They have different weights. But are all heavier than vanilla:

 

Military - The heavier. Fantastic duration

 

Industrial - It's like a big duracell. Lighter than military. Great duration

 

Refitted - This one the player can craft by using an empty fusion core. Medium duration

 

Improvised - Used by raiders mostly. The worst type. Poor duration. And it leaks radiation

 

Mechanics:

 

Empty fusion core - When fusion core is depleted an empty one is added to your inventory. Empty fusion cores can be used to create refitted fusion cores and fusion core grenades. A non depleted FC can be used to create a FC grenade at a smaller material cost.

 

FC grenades explode like fat man mini nukes.

 

No more auto switching fusion cores - I don't know if it's even possible. You have to leave the safety of your power armor and change the fusion core yourself. A power armor is not a one man army.

They probably had to roll with a support staff to do it. Because of this fusion cores would last longer than vanilla.

 

Optionaly i would edit leveled lists and static FCs placed in the world.

 

That's it.

I don't know any mod right now that does something similar. The ones i know only tweak how long FC lasts.

 

Is it doable guys?

I think it should be except there's one significant problem. How do you allow the user to pick which kind of fusion core will be used? Having a variety isn't that good if you can't make any choices.

Goddamn, you're right. I didn't think about it. Going through your inventory to select it would break the pacing.

Maybe a window could pop up while the world is paused (or not), you select the wanted FC and the animation plays.

 

I'd love to have more variety.
