Hi!

This is a very simple mod that allows you to recover 80% of the resources from unwanted ammunition in a very easy straightforward way.

You open the ammo and recover the materials in the WORKBENCH. If you have the optional "Custom Ammo Bench Add-On" installed you will disassemble the ammo in the "Ammo Recycling Bench" instead. You will get a package, OPEN it (DO NOT SCRAP) and you will get your materials back.
No schematics or levels in crafting skills needed.

Crafting time and exact amount of resources that you get back are adjusted after cost and crafting time of the original ammunition, ammo complexity, quality and rarity, and if ammunition bundles exists or not, to make it balanced and prevent exploits. Opening and recovering materials from more complex types of ammunition, such as rockets, takes more time (but they will not explode, I promise 😉).

It includes 9mm, 7.62, Magnum .44, all the different ammunitions for shotguns, rockets and grenades. Version 1.1.0 of the mod adds compatibility with Izayo Weapon pack mod, so you can recycle all the ammunition and explosives included. Version 1.3.0 adds support for District Zero overhaul. Version 1.4.0 adds support for "Server side weapons" and "Pant's Weapon Pack". Version 1.5.0 added support for "The Wasteland" and "Firearms Expansion 5". Version 1.6.0 added support for "Rebirth" and "Oakraven Ammo Press".

For people playing solo or in servers that allow server + player side mods, I have added an optional Add-On, that includes a custom made "Ammo Recycling Bench". If you install it you will recycle the ammunition in that new bench instead, freeing the workbench to craft other things. The new bench is crafted in the workbench. It is a 1x1 bench, and it can be placed on top of any block at any height, so you can decorate your base with it however you want. Unlike the main mod, which is server-side, the add-on requires install in both server and player computer, since it adds custom assets. It is optional, and not required to use the mod, just a little extra nice detail that I wanted to add in case you can use it. .

UPDATE 1.8.1
- Fixed errors because some ammunitions in Escape from Tarkov mod changed names in latest version for 1.4.
- Updated the returns when recycling the ammunitions in Escape from Tarkov mod after the crafting costs of many ammo types were changed in latest version for 1.4.

UPDATE 1.8.0
- Added support to both "Escape from Tarkov - Extraction" and the original "Escape from Tarkov overhaul".
- Reworked the colors for the icons.

- Fixed compatibility between Steel Ammo and Oakraven press.

UPDATE 1.7.2
- Update to keep compatibility with the new version of Extended Ammo (V12).
- Reduced the size of the mod.

UPDATE 1.7.1
- Fixed some errors when used together with Firearms Expansion 5, after the Flaregun ammunition was removed. This was preventing the mods to work well together.

UPDATE 1.7.0
- Fixed localized texts not working in some servers. I hope this fixes it for everybody.
- Added support for Steel Ammunition mod. Now you can recycle the new ammo included in this mod.
- Added support for Extended Ammunition V1. Now you can recycle the new ammo included in this mod. 
- Added the new ammunition types including in the latest versions of Izayo weapons pack (up to the current version at this point: version 3.1) 

UPDATE 1.6.0
- Added support for "Rebirth" overhaul. You can recycle the new ammunition included in Rebirth. Adjusted costs and returns for some of the recipes to match costs in Rebirth. To recycle the ammunition in the workbench you need Hammer & Pliers. Added compatibility to use my custom "Ammo Recycling Bench" if you want, as optional (not required). Like with all the other supported mods, all this changes only applies if you have that mod (Rebirth in this case) installed. 
- Added support for "Oakraven Ammo Press" mod, so you can recycle your ammo in that bench instead if you have that mod installed.  

UPDATE 1.5.0
- Added Support for "The Wasteland" overhaul. Now you can recycle the ammo and explosives included in this mod. IMPORTANT: For "Ammunition Recycling" to work fine together with "The Wasteland" make sure my mod loads AFTER The Wasteland mod. To ensure that please rename my mod folder to z_LittleRedSonja_AmmoRecycling. 
- Added Support for both versions of "Firearms Expansion 5". Now you can recycle the new ammo and explosives added by this mod.
- Edited some of the colors for the recycled ammunition icons for both Vanilla and some of the supported mods.   

UPDATE 1.4.0
- Added junk turret ammo for vanilla game, now you can recycle it.
- Added support for "Server Side Weapons". If you are using that mod you can now recycle the custom ammunition included. When recycling the "Red Widow" ammo you will get rotten flesh instead of raw meat, because I think that makes more sense. 
- Added support for "Pant's Weapon Pack". If you are using that mod you can now recycle the custom ammunition included. 

UPDATE 1.3.0
- Added support for District Zero overhaul. Now you can recycle all the ammunition, grenades and rockets included in that mod. Added colored coded icon for each variety of ammunition included.
- Added Thrown Grenade and Contact Grenade for vanilla game. Now you can recycle them too.
- Made the icons in a nicer color, easier to see specially in low gamma settings.  
- Improved the localization file, to make it easier for people to add translations for the mod.

UPDATE 1.2.0
- Adds support for the new version 2.0 of Izayo weapon pack (includes new weapons and several new ammunition types).
- Adds support for my weapons mod "T2 into T3 weapons" (adds Hellfire shells for the Holland & Holland Paradox Shotgun). 

UPDATE 1.1.0
- Made the mod compatible with Izayo weapon pack, so you can recycle 5.56 and 45 ACP ammunition if you are using that mod. 
- Slightly increased time to recycle rockets. I guess it would take some time to open a rocket and recover fuel and explosives without exploding it 😄. Don't worry, it is a small change and it still goes pretty fast 😉.
- Since rocket ammunition can be more difficult to obtain you can now recycle rockets in stacks of 5 instead of 10. 
- Included a picture for visual help on how the mod works in the mod folder (thank you FNS for providing it 😊)

HOW IT WORKS:

1- Take a look at the pictures in the "Media" section for additional visual help. Open the WORKBENCH. In the left panel, in "Ammo/Weapons" category you will see recipes for "Recycled Ammo" bundles for each type of ammunition. 

2- Make sure you have the ammunition you want to recycle in your backpack. 

3- Select the recipe for the type of ammunition that you want to recycle and click "craft". You can craft more than one bundle at a time as long as you have enough ammunition in your backpack. 

4- After a few seconds you will get one or more "Recycle Ammo" bundles. 

5- Open the bundle, in the same way you would open other bundles in the game, to get the recycled materials. What materials you get depends on what kind of ammunition you are recycling. DO NOT SCRAP the bundle, just OPEN IT.

6- Profit 😉. 

Like most of my other mods so far, this mod is "Server-side-only friendly" (if you play multiplayer the mod only needs to be installed in the server, if you play single player install the mod as usual).

If you want me to add more modded ammunition let me know what mod you want to make compatible and I will look into it 😊 I hope you enjoy the mod 💜. Let me know too if you have suggestions or find bugs.  🥰

Frequently asked questions: 

1- Is your mod compatible with X, Y or Z mod? : Yes, as far as I know my mod is compatible with the vast majority of other mods for 7DTD, including of course all my other mods, even full conversions or overhauls should be compatible as long as they do not remove the vanilla ammunition. If you find a mod or overhaul that is not compatible try renaming my mod folder so the game load it last (for example z_LittleRedSonja_AmmoRecycling). That solves incompatibility problems most of the time. If a mod is incompatible even then, please let me know and I will see if a compatibility patch can be made.

2- Can the mod be used server side only?: Yes, the mod can be used both server side only (so if the server where you play have it installed you do not need to install it yourself) or client side (if you play solo instead of multiplayer then you install the mod as usual). The only exception is the add-on with the custom ammo bench, that one requires server + player side install. 

3- Can you add X, Y or Z ammunitions from X, Y or Z mod?: I will be happy to add other ammunitions included in other mods. Just let me know what ammunitions and what mod and I will add them to Ammunition Recycling.

4- Do I need any of the "supported mods" to use "Ammunition Recycling"?: No. This mod has no other dependencies or requirements.
