Mod to scrap to multiple resources using the A20 bundle mechanic.

[DEADFACE]

I've long wished that it were possible to scrap items and receive multiple resource items from it. I know it's an engine limitation that modding isn't going to overcome.

 

However, A20 added "bundle" items (actually I guess they were in A19, but they seemed limited to one item then) that you open and can get more than one resource from. I suspect then that a mod could add some new scrap bundles so that items could be effectively scrapped to multiple items.

 

Some examples that I think would add a nice layer of resource management:

1. car batteries should scrap to  a bundle containing lead + acid

2. ammunition should scrap to bulletin tip + casing + powder

3. pipe bomb = pipe + powder

 

I want to say the bundles even would allow for a certain random amount to the resources such that you may not always get a bullet casing from a bullet or the acid from the battery etc.

 

Bonus points if it would be possible to limit certain scrapping operations to the workbench (battery, radiator, etc).
