Special Repair Items

[Gotcha44]

I know a similar topic has been posted before, but this might just be a tad different.

 

The current repair system quite sucks (as many of you will probably agree with). There are already mods that slow down the falling apart of your items, but it would also be great if a better way would be made to repair them again.

It would be wonderful to see 3 types of weapon repair items, namely:

 

- "Small Weapon parts":

This object could look like a pile of triggers, bolts, springs and that sort of things. Essential internal parts for any standard weapon.

(Think of the current ingame object "Scrap Metal" object; but instead the item looks like a bunch of assorted gun bits.)

 

- "Big weapon parts":

This object could be made to look like a small pile of of Large triggers, recoil systems, wiring, that sort of things.

 

- "Energy weapon parts":

Could be a bunch of gold reflectors, crystals, heat absorbers, wiring etc.

 

The parts could be used to repair any appropiate weapon by about 10%, or perhaps repairing smaller sized weapons faster than larger ones. (Like an "Energy weapon parts" could repair a laser pistol with 15% and a laser rifle with 8%.)

Alternatively, it would be nice to be able to disassemble any gun you find to lose weight and just keep the important parts with you, but I doubt this could be easily done.

It would be great to see 3 types of armour repair items, namely:

 

- "Sewing Kit":

Would look like a needle stuck in a roll of thread. Could be found in most places where people live, or buyable from clothes retailers.

Would repair any type of pre-war clothes, utility suits, labcoats, hats, that sort of stuff.

 

- "Leather Compound":

Looks like a tube of some unknown compound, which you can smear on leather armour to fill up holes. Buyable from armour retailers and found in military areas.

Would repair any kind of leather (Merc armour, Duster etc.) and radiation suits.

 

- "Metal Compound":

Another tube with different chemicals, to fill up dents/holes in metal/power armour. Buyable from armour retailers and occasionally found on powersuit wearers, like BoS, outcasts and enclave people.

All of these would weigh very light; 1 pound per object seems fine.

 

The GECK would make a lot of this possible, but I couldn't make any textures for these items, nor icons.

Perhaps an artist sees an interest in this. :)
