Edit: Is there any purpose to the Small Relics you occasionally find?

Some NPC's want them for quests. Last time I played it didn't matter as all NPC's were suicidal madmen, chomping at the bit to armwrestle a zombear or four and end it all painfully. Or expend 5 SMG clips missing one squirrel and then walk up and bash it into unusable meatscraps with the gun.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

I am not sure if this bug has already been reported but I have been playing the latest snapshot and I have unlimited drugs from the ones I have picked up.

AFAIK, you can't name objects short of messing with the JSON.

i wonder could you mod it so they are replaced with holy hand grenades?

No, you must mod it so that they are an ingredient of Holy Hand Grenades. Recipe learned from any of the holy books. Or, perhaps just the Christian ones. Each religion gets its own holy text weapon.

It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

I think it was just a joke, but I have heard people say they actually give you a very small amount of extra protection to acid.

Isn't there a NPC quest that asks you to collect one?  I also think they can be deconstructed into silver or gold or something too which can be used in making ammo iirc.

They can't be disassembled, which is sad.

Is there a way to disassemble shotgun shells? I have a bunch of birdshot I'd like to pull apart for gunpowder to make rifle ammo instead, but the kinetic bullet puller won't work on them.

Some ammo types (particularly variants such as FMJ rounds) don't have entries in the bullet_pulling json so they can't be disassembled.

It should be fairly simple to mod the json to allow it.

FWIW, a kinetic puller on it's own wouldn't do jack with shells.
Generally, disassembling a factory shell means cutting the front end of the shell off and pulling the contents out.
in almost every situation, you would leave the wad and powder in place, but if you wanted to take them out as well, then I suppose a puller could work here, as it would contain the powder. But then, being a bit careful and using some soft-tipped pliers works just as well.

Stop now, you're going to get everyone here watching people shooting custom loads out of their scatterguns.
