Grenades

Grenades are an inexpensive way to deliver destruction from a short range. To use, grenades only require a shell, charge, and fuze, made using the crafting table. They are customizable, and thus have over 475 possible combinations. With each customization, a grenade's model changes. For example, grenades with the impact grenade fuze have an orange stripe on their model.

Grenades were reworked as of 1.0.27_X5663, which instead of having dedicated grenades with impact or long timers, the desired fuze can simply be put into any grenade configuration. The older grenades used to have no 3D models or animations, no customizability, and (as mentioned before) dedicated grenades for different explosions/effects.

Not to be confused with 40mm grenades, which are simpler and made in the ammo press.

Crafting

Grenades are shapelessly crafted in a crafting table using the components below.

Components

Shells

These are components found in every grenade, used to contain the fuze and charge. The in-game model changes depending on the shell used. There are a total of 4 shells, in descending order according to cost below. Depending on the shell, the model's animation changes.

Grenade max stacksize depends on the shell's size, and the charges that can be put into a grenade directly depend on the shell.

Image	Information	Recipe
	Stick Grenade Shell Very cheap Stacks up to 4	4
	Compact Grenade Shell Cheap Stacks up to 4	4
	High-Tech Grenade Shell Slightly more expensive than the last Stacks up to only 2	4
	Nuclear Grenade Shell Most expensive shell Cannot stack Resemblance to the Nuka Grenade From Fallout 4	4

Fuzes

Fuzes dictate how a grenade explodes; whether or not it explodes mid-air, on impact, or using a timer. There are a total of 5 fuzes and 1 extra fuze.

Image	Information	Recipe
	Timed Grenade Fuze 3s Cheapest fuze Adds a black stripe	4
	Timed Grenade Fuze 7s Slightly more expensive than the last Adds a gray stripe	4
	Timed Grenade Fuze 15s Most expensive timed fuze and longest fuze Adds a white stripe	4
	Impact Grenade Fuze Explodes upon impact Available both early-game and mid-game (after oil refining) Adds an orange stripe	4
	Airburst Grenade Fuze Explodes mid-air Slightly more expensive than the last Adds a green stripe	4

Charges

Charges dictate how a grenade explodes; whether it uses lead pellets or unleashes a nuclear explosion. There are over 13 grenades. The visual changes that each charge makes is surprisingly accurate to the item model.

Image	Information	Recipe
	Gunpowder Grenade Charge Deals 10 damage Only applicable to the Compact and Stick Grenade Shells
	High-Explosive Grenade Charge Deals around 25 damage Only applicable to the Compact and Stick Grenade Shells Makes the grenade olive green
	Demolition Grenade Charge Destroys blocks Only applicable to the Compact and Stick Grenade Shells Makes the grenade olive green and the label red
	Incendiary Grenade Charge Temporarily unleashes particle fire (non-block), and block fire in a certain radius Only applicable to the Compact and Stick Grenade Shells Makes the grenade gray with a red label
	White Phosphorus Grenade Charge Temporarily unleashes white phosphorus fog, particle fire (non-block), and small fires in a certain radius Only applicable to the Compact and Stick Grenade Shells Makes the grenade white with a red label
	Cluster Grenade Charge As it's name implies, upon explosion it releases multiple clusters that act like bullets Only applicable to the Compact and Stick Grenade Shells Makes the grenade gray with a yellow label
	EMP Grenade Charge Converts machines into blocks of electrical scrap Only applicable to the High-Tech Grenade Shell Makes the grenade silver with neon blue lights
	Plasma Grenade Charge Unleashes an explosion that has the same texture of the EMP charge but larger and green Deals 50 damage Only applicable to the High-Tech Grenade Shell Makes the grenade olive green with neon green lights
	Laser Grenade Charge Unleashes a small explosion and fires lasers at the nearest entities Only applicable to the High-Tech Grenade Shell Makes the grenade dark gray with neon red lights
	Heavy Cluster Grenade Charge Upgraded version of the cluster grenade charge Each cluster now has its own explosion Only applicable to the Nuclear Grenade Shell Makes the grenade dark gray with a red label
	Nuclear Grenade Charge Unleashes a mini-nuclear explosion Leaves 3.0 RAD/s of chunk radiation (ground zero), and dead grass, but no sellafite and no environmental radiation Only applicable to the Nuclear Grenade Shell Makes the grenade peach-colored with a slightly darker colored label
	Nuclear Demolition Grenade Charge Destroys blocks Unleashes a mini-nuclear explosion Leaves 12.9 RAD/s of chunk radiation and 17.3 RAD/s of environmental radiation (ground zero) and dead grass, but no sellafite Makes the grenade peach-colored with a red label
	Schrabidium Grenade Charge Destroys blocks Unleashes a Fölkvangr Field Most destructive grenade in terms of blocks Only applicable to the Nuclear Grenade Shell Makes the grenade bright blue/cyan with a black label

Grenade Extras

Image	Information	Recipe
	Grenade Extra - Glue Makes the grenade stick to blocks
	Grenade Extra - Fragmentation Sleeve Gives the grenade fragmentation alongside the charge Fairly cheap
	Grenade Extra - Proximity Fuze Most expensive grenade extra Can be added to grenades with existing fuzes, hence it being 'extra' Explodes instantly when in proximity with entities
	Grenade Extra - Triplex Unavailable in survival Brings out 3 grenades, tripling the explosion	N/A

Trivia

• The number of possible combinations is calculated like this:
  • 4 Shells (Pick One)
  • 5 Fuzes (Pick One)
  • 13 Charges (Pick One), of which:
    • 6 can only be applied to Stick Shell and Compact Shell
    • 3 can only be applied to Hi-Tech Shell
    • 4 can only be applied to Nuclear Shell
  • 4 'Extras' (Pick One or Zero) Stick Shell: 5*6*5=150 combinations Compact Shell: 5*6*5=150 combinations Hi-Tech Shell: 5*3*5=75 combinations Nuclear Shell: 5*4*5=100 combinations 150 + 150 + 75 + 100 = 475 legal combos
• The Nuclear Grenade Shell is a direct Easter egg referencing the look and name of the Nuka-Grenade from the Fallout franchise, specifically its appearance in Fallout 4.
• The Schrabidium Grenade Charge is currently the only grenade capable of generating a Fölkvangr Field, making it highly unique
• Before the modular rework in version 1.0.27_X5663, players had to craft entirely separate, non-customizable items for specific utility variants (like the legacy Smart Grenade or Gas Grenade), which lacked 3D models and throwing animations.
• Unlike standard customizable grenades, 40mm Grenades are considered ammunition and cannot be thrown by hand; they can only be fired from weapons like the Congo Lake
