I'm using a great ammo crafting mod but it requires that I break down multiple things that often come in great quantities. It's taking up way too much of my time and I was wondering if there is a mod out there that could bypass that limit.

While it doesn't eliminate the 100 item limit, this mod has added some recipes that allow for massive conversion of materials.
instead of needing 1 you need 100 of specific items to activate the recipe.

It gets around the limit quite nicely.

Ironic, but that's the exact same mod I'm using.

You're right that for some things it does work nicely, the problem is, he didn't do that for the majority of what's there. Only about a third of the options are need 100 items to make 1, as you put it.

It's so annoying that making one item causes an exit from the menu!

(PS I like that mod except it's difficult to find pistol powder, and it can't be crafted). Which I guess balances it neatly enough.

Maybe someone could change that.

I'll agree about the menu closing every time being annoying.
It also resets the category sorting choice you made last time you opened the menu.

Wonder if that is hard coded into the exe or it could be modded to stop that behaviour.

(you did see the "convert rifle powder to pistol powder option, right? )

Yes, but then I ran out of rifle powder.

Anyway, I read somewhere that the menu opens via a script. Whatever that means.
