CG's Recipe Book

Description
Tired having to use many different Crafting and Recycling mods to fill your Needs? Tired of having your crafting menu filled with redundant recipes because of this? Do you like to Live-Off-The-Land and play with little to no loot? Well, look no further.

This mod adds a little over 120 recipes that allow you to recycle or transform many vanilla items into other vanilla items in a fair and realistic way. Most of this recipes are skill dependant, costly or both especially when it pertains to game changing item like generators or sledgehammers to keep the game balanced.

There are also recipes that allow you to preserve different kinds of food like fruits and mushrooms, or to create already-existing but better and more nutritious food items from others that are also vanilla. For example, you can create peanut butter with a mortar and pestle using peanuts, sugar and vegetable oil as an emulsifier.

I’ve added just a few new items to justify, and make the crafting processes more realistic and keep inmersion. For example you can create a raw nitrate mixture from fertilizer, this mixture can be cooked, refined and use in other recipes, like gunpowder or baking soda.

I didn’t add complex crafting stations, kept new items to a minimun and didn’t change any core aspect of the game.

Is this safe to add mid-game?

Anyone know what can be causing the amount of items received to be 4-5x normal? for example one small metal sheet is giving 100 nails instead of 20

Would it be possible to make it so that in the sandbox settings you can turn off sections or recipes? I want some of them, but the guns/ammo and some of the food conflict with other mods

@GenEric1110 If you read the description it has all the recipes listed, which is enough to guess which other mods in your modlist it can replace.
