Jesus this game eats time.
Last night I had a look at amour and weapons mods.
Did you know that you can strip mods from one piece and attach it to another?
Including mods that you can't make yet.
So I had shitty amour that I looked gay in, but it had good radiation resistance so I wore it.
Last night I found that I could take some heavy combat armour with high damage resistance,
but no radiation resistance and then take another piece of combat amour with radiation resistance,
take the lead out of that and put it into the first piece, giving me high damage & radiation resistance.
The same with weapons mods.
I have about x40 .10mm pistols with various mods.
I took the one with the best special attribute - 50% extra damage against humans, as below.
Stripped out the best mods from the other .10mms and attached them to it.

I was doing this for about an hour and a half after I should have gone to bed.
Now I just have to do the same to my .308 & .50cal sniper, and my shottie.
