About this mod
Lightweight plugin that adds breakdown recipes for all ammo, along with some consistency fixes. Optionally, enables more ammo and ammo effect adjustments by downloading a separate ESPless file.

Summary: Hand Loader's Ammo Essentials introduces the missing ammo breakdown and crafting recipes, as well as a few simple consistency fixes. More ammo types are also available by downloading a separate script-runner file without needing a second plugin or a mod menu. This mod is basically a light-weight and more in-scope version of my mod ACE, which I intended in the beginning as a simple breakdown recipe mod closer to this one.
WARNING: While uninstalling this file mid-game will NOT break your game, it WILL cause whichever ammo enabled by this that is in your inventory to become unusable by guns; all you can do is get rid of them (via storing or selling, for example). It will also remain in vendors' stock until it resets. If you want to uninstall this, any leftovers can be removed by saving in an interior cell, uninstalling this file, entering the game, and waiting 72 in-game hours before leaving the cell; this will cause NPCs to reset their inventories.
Recommended Mods to pair with this:
Ammo Ingredients Loot by Qolore7. Adds items like Primers and Gunpowder as possible loot throughout the game.
NAWEMO by miguick. Among other things, it gives NPCs a chance to have and use AP, HP, or even Hand Loader ammo.
Requirements
xNVSE, JIP LN NVSE PLUGIN, and JohnnyGuitar NVSE.
Compatibility
Avoid pairing this mod with any other mod that adds or changes ammo recipes and ammo effects. Mods that add new ammo may be compatible as long as they do not do anything else with vanilla ammo, ammo recipes, or ammo effects.
Mods that overlap with this regarding ammo or recipe names are ok, but may cause inconsistencies - make sure you read both mods' descriptions thoroughly before installing both.
Some of my other mods
Novac Bungalow - Upgradeable Player Home. Cozy home with loot sorting and decoration upgrades.
Hardcore Customization INI. Provides several ini configuration options for hardcore aspects of the game.
ACE - Ammunition and Crafting Expanded. Original, feature-creep version of this mod that also covers explosives crafting, ammo distribution to NPCs, and other features, configurable through MCM.
Hand Loader's Essentials
Contains an ESP plugin with the new recipes and a script-runner file for the tweaks.- Additions:
- Crafting recipes for every AP and HP round, as well as every new ammo introduced by Gun Runner's Arsenal that didn't have a crafting recipe, such as 12 Ga. Flechette.
- Breakdown recipes for every ammo of every caliber in the game, except surplus/plinking, from .22LR HP up to .50 MG AP rounds and GRA's ammo - you can break down all of them.
- Changes:
- Skill requirement adjusted for some crafting recipes, while all ammo breakdown recipes require 25 repair (except Dragon's Breath, which requires 40).
- Breakdown recipes do not require any perk. This way, you could find, say, JSP ammo on an NPC and break it down if you wish.
- Ammo names are fixed for consistency, now every ammo follows the same format.
- All (GRA) (Hand Load) (Vigilant Recycler) tags have been removed from both guns and energy ammo, as well as recipes.
Hand Loader's Addon
Contains a script-runner file that enables more AP, JSP, JFP, JHP, and SWC rounds for different calibers, along with the corresponding recipes. 9mm, 10mm, and .45 AP rounds in particular are added to vendors as well. Due to the increase in ammo diversity, it also tweaks the ammo effects of all ammo variants of every caliber across the board to bring them in line with one another.WARNING: While uninstalling this file mid-game will NOT break your game, it WILL cause whichever ammo enabled by this that is in your inventory to become unusable by guns; all you can do is get rid of them (via storing or selling, for example).
