Description

This mod adds recipe to recycle plastic bags into garbage bags.
Created and tested on v41.

Warning: Currently mod doesn't check if there are items inside plastic bags.

Do you find Plastic Bags useless, wouldn't it be great to be able to make Rain
Collector Barrels from them? For ease of use, this mods don't interfere with Carpentry
recipes, but adds simple recipe to make Garbage Bag from Plastic Bag using scissors.

I found 3 Tote bags in one house and nearby car's trunk. They contained large amounts
of Plastic bags (total 70). But they are kinda useless in vanilla game, that's the reason why
this mod was made.

Mod updated to include all the vanilla plastic bags (thanks Sealer Moon and BigDackers67), also now use scissors tag, so works with modded scissors.

Thanks Sealer Moon and BigDackers67 to bringing this issue to my attention. Mod is updated to include other plastic bags + now works with vanilla scissors and modded scissors

I spent a little over 3 hours trying to figure out how to fix this but it turns out, it was super shrimple and did not involve lua tags, recipe registers or anything else. All you have to do is replace plasticbags.txt with this:

[code]
module Base
{

recipe Recycle Plastic Bag
{
keep Scissors,
destroy Plasticbag/GroceryBag1/GroceryBag2/GroceryBag3/GroceryBag4/GroceryBag5,

Result:Garbagebag,
Sound:PZ_ClothesRipping,
Time:50.0,
Category:Survivalist,
}

}
[/code]

After some testing i think it may be the Obvious Collecting Mod so when i pick items off the ground and get a plastic bag it does not give me the option to recycle. It vanilla ones are fine and can be recycled

@BigDackers67 Thanks for reporting. My guess its mod conflict. Do you get error when right clicking on plastic bags?
Maybe you are trying to recycle plastic bags which are added by other mods? Game shows mod which added item on that item tooltip. This mod works only with vanilla plastic bags (it should work with modded plastic bags if they use vanilla item ID, but I havent tested that, and tbh dont know any mods that do that).

Thank you @MrRAT

@Sol yes, still works. Notthing was updated in vanilla with trashbags, so mod was never broken.
