Fusion core merge

Press a key. Your half-depleted pile of fusion cores becomes a full core plus a partial core.

The total charge is precisely maintained - nothing is created and nothing is lost.

Before: 12 cores at 41%, 88%, 7%, 63%, 99%, 12%, 55%, 30%, 76%, 4%, 91%, 22%

After: 5 full cores + 1 core at 88%

A very small F4SE plug-in. There is no ESP and no plug-in slot. There is nothing new in the archive. Once uninstalled, the game is the same as before (with the new full fusion core of course).

Why are fusion cores such a mess?

Fallout 4 stores item charges in the item stack, rather than the item itself. Two cores can share a stack only if they have the same power level - so each different power level becomes a separate line in your Pip-Boy. Maybe it's just me, but it annoys me.

This simple mod just adds a shortcut key (configurable through the MCM, no default settings) that you press and hold, and it all merges.

This is not cheating (maybe a bit in survival mode).

The merger is entirely charge conserving. Charge is measured in whole units - a vanilla core holds 500 - and never in rounded percentages, so repeated merging won't leak or create individual units. After each merge, the mod will re-read your inventory and confirm that the total has not changed.

Here's the actual merged version from my own (ridiculous) archive, taken directly from the log:

411 × 500 + 69 = 205569. The numbers haven't changed from the original.

In survival mode, fusion cores do have weight and you end up carrying less weight because 468 cores become 412. If this bothers you, this mod isn't for you - and there are no fees invented in the game.

Not just the fusion core,

It automatically merges all types of charge ammo in your load order, automatically detected - no patches, no hard-coded list of modalities. My own loading sequence includes:

Fusion Core: 468 item(s) in 59 stack(s), 205569 units total -> 411 full + 1 partial (69/500 units)

Fusion Core (Original) – 500 units

Plasma Core (ammunition) – 250 units

Fission Batteries (Ammunition) – 100 pieces

Extended Micro Fusion Battery (EG7) – 501 cells

Charge content added by the module will be picked up automatically. Each type is strictly fused - charges never cross between them.

use

Bind a shortcut key in MCM → Fusion Core Merger → Merge Now → and press. The HUD will show what's going on. It sails untethered; MCM won't choose the keys for you.

set up

It's all in the MCM, and it all works immediately - no reboots, no save reloads required.

Merge now - shortcut key. The default is to unbind.

Combines all ammunition types that carry explosives - On. Off = Original Fusion Core only.

Leave your favorite items alone – turn them on. see below.

Hold the core loaded in the weapon still - on. see below.

Show HUD confirmation - turned on.

Long log - closed. Record the power of each layer before merging.

There isn't an advanced setting in the menu because it's cumbersome to enter the form ID in the in-game text box: sExcludedForms in MCM/Config/FusionCoreMerger/settings.ini, a comma-separated list of Plugin.esm|0xFormID.

About your equipped weapons

This mod skips equipped cores, so to merge, first remove the Gatling Laser and remove the Power Armor.
