Let's you craft generators, car battery chargers, blow torches, speakers, remotes and much more. Also lets you disassemble everything and gives a lot more stuff(Depending on electrical skill) from various devices you can disassemble. Everything is balanced out nice and tidy, so you can grind skill from doing some small time electrical crafting but you would also loose valuable material doing so. You need certain combined skills + recipe from a magazine to craft most of the things.

This mod also creates a REAL ENGINEER profession - costs more but comes with high skill set and with a lot of recipes(Also some from my Real Metalworking and Food Preservation mods) + more from the magazines. Some high value recipes that are exclusive to this trait - can't learn them from anywhere else. Makes engineer a very valuable member of your group.

Extra :

  • It makes all HAM radios electric powered and lowers the walkie-talkie ranges so they won't be higher then HAM radio ones. It will create a need for possible F.O.B's in some situations.
  • Mix petrol, fertilizer and charcoal into gunpowder.
  • Craft a simple blunderbuss gun and ammo for it.
  • Craft an IED that makes a huge bang - VIDEO .
  • You can also mine aluminum and various other stuff with my : Dynamic Mining mod.

This is part of... :

Project Realistic Overhaul - Set of mods I've created that will overhaul the vanilla game experience to be more hardcore and true to life, but on the other hand leaves you the option to make it through and survive. It makes items and actions have more value and makes the world more alive.
