NEW: "Main Additions" feature has been divided into "Ammunition Expanded" and "Crafting Expanded". Now you can have the new ammo types without adding Brass/Steel/Aluminum or Case/Hull crafting to your game and vice versa.

NEW: "No GRA tag" options in the Ammo Name Formatting feature now also applies to the Big Kid, Low Yield, Timed, and Tini Tots Mini Nukes from the GRA DLC

CHANGED: 9mm JFP Schematics description.
CHANGED: GRA Casting Guide is now GRA Case Making and the "Casings" tab in the crafting menu is now named "Cases".

COMPATIBILITY: If JSawyer Ultimate is installed Tin Grenade will require Mad Bomber perk instead of Hand Loader.
COMPATIBILITY: Tin Grenade recipe will have no perk tag if JSawyer Ultimate is installed since it won't require any perk to craft.
COMPATIBILITY: If YUP - Base Game + All DLC is installed Efficient Powder Charge will require Mad Bomber instead of Hand Loader perk and will show the correct perk tag on the recipe name.
FIXED: Typo in 10mm Cross ammo name

NEW: Now ACE is fully customizable for non MCM users too, in the same terminals.
NEW: 12 Ga. Bean Bag crafting/breakdown recipes available with the new ammo types enabled.
NEW: 5.56mm & 9mm Rubber Rounds. Those do damage to the fatigue like the 12 Ga. Bean Bags, but the damage they do will depend on the armor of the actor being hit,
NEW: Rubber (crafting material). Ingridient to make Bean Bags/Rubber Rounds. Can be obtained breakingdown said rounds or bought at the mojave outpost or Gun Runners HQ Store.
FIXED: Primer Box, Grenade and Primer Box, Missile not giving primers upon purchase.

Version 2.1.0
NEW: If you disable "Mad Bomber/Demolition Expert perk requirement" the recipes of the explosive's affected won't have those perk's tag.
COMPATIBILITY: If you have "Hand Loader NPCs" enabled, powder gangers might use varmint rifles with surplus 5.56mm ammo. Now if you use ANY mod that rechambers the Varmint Rifle that little part of the feature won't activate, thus preventing incompatibility and silly gangers running at you with their bare hands.
FIXED: 12 Ga. Dragon's Breath crafting recipe still required the Pyromaniac perk.
FIXED: Mad Bomber tags in non-GRA versions.
FIXED: Some vendors had 999 Brass in their inventories in some versions (testing stuff i forgot to delete.... have to stop editing late at night and being so careless)

NEW: Breakdown recipe's perk requirement can now be disabled, allowing you to breakdown advanced ammo types/explosives only with your repair/explosives skill.
NEW: Demolition Expert/Mad Bomber perk requirement to craft 25mm/40mm Grenades and Missiles can now be disabled. But advanced types of those will still require the Hand Loader perk.
NEW: Now you can choose between 4 or 3 ammo name formats.
CHANGED: Pyromaniac perk requirement removed from all recipes that required it.
CHANGED: Vanilla's version .50MG Explosive now requires 2 cherry bombs to craft 5 rounds.
CHANGED: Because of the breakdown perk requirement feature, repair skill required to breakdown all ammo types were balanced. Most need the same skill needed to craft regular rounds.

CHANGED: .44 Special, .38 Special and .223 rounds breakdown recipes now give Brass to represent their casings.

OPTIMIZATION: LeveledLists integration of .22LR Casings and Case Boxes are now done by scripts, this should no longer be a potential conflict with other mods.
Version 1.1.0 - (Hand Load)
