Bet I can't legally call this the "Macgyver" plugin, but I can call it the MAC plugin due to it being the initials for Modified Augmented Crafting. So cutting to the chase let me ask you what do you essentially need when you decide to cook something? Obviously you need the item to cook with, but what else do you need? You need something to cook it on besides the campfire if you want it to be somewhat hygienic. Right now i'm working with version alpha at the moment and will soon progress to beta. Sorry for keeping those looking forward to this waiting i've been a little sick and i'm better now that I can start making this.

Update: 11/21/2010

Version Alpha 1.0

Pleased to announce some new changes for some added difficulty/fun to the game. It isn't a huge accomplishment to some, but to me it is where I was able to make my first item then add it to the game. I'm very excited about this because it opens up some other avenues that I was really hoping to venture into.

Updates - The Breakdowns now require the specialty item called the "Bench Hammer" which looks like a regular hammer. Whenever you see people in RL breaking down ammo you see them using a special tool to separate the bullet from the casing. This is duplicated with this item being required by these recipes. The recipes themselves are not changed in anyway they just require the hammer now in addition to the regular conditions.

I'm also pleased to announce the recipe for the creations of the original item "Dead Man's Hand". This deadly little concoction requires 6 items (2 Fission Batteries, 1 Pressure Cooker, 4 Purified Water, 3 Radscorpion Poison Glands, Yeast, and Sugarbombs.)

This will produce 3 Dead Man's Hand drinks for the player to drink. Downside *will update HP reduction* is it will damage the player for 11 HP, and give -2 Int. However the most problematic of all is the 30% chance for addiction to this nasty stuff. You may ask what is the upside to drinking this? Well it gives +2 Charisma and a whooping +6 Luck for 2 minutes. As said I plan to alter the HP damage amount probably doing like 75HP and like 10 to 15HP loss per second for 10 seconds as well as upping the addition level to 45%.

I'll also be lowering the Luck to like 2 to 3 in order to balance things out a bit.

Unfortunately with this update i'm also experiencing more crashes for some reason. I will have to do some testing and hopefully it won't be my plugin, but if it is I may know "What" the culprit is which is an easy fix.

Notes:

I plan to make this a really grand plugin adding in several new recipes like Campfire Hooch, Hiker's Delight, Spitfire Moonshine, Deadman's Hand and other stuff. I'll also be adding in new recipes for sub-components like creating DuckTape, Wonderglue, Wrenches, etc... to make items. Finally I hope to add in some recipes to make Mini-Nukes and a Specialty Mini-Nuke. However for the Specialty Mini-Nuke I want to add in something special as a requirements not sure yet.

Any suggestions, ideas, and/or opinions are welcome.

New Information Added in and the plugin will be released "hopefully" next week if everything can be checked out. The plugin will be in beta stage after initial testing. If anyone wants to see some recipe added in for crafting something i'm happy to look into it. I'm also considering adding in recipes for players to craft their own skill magazines by using those billions of Pre-War Books.
