As blasphemous it is to say about a gamer, something tells me that Pip is going to need a few days of cold turkey soon or he's going to end up somewhat stranger than he is normally.
I'm also pretty sure that it isn't as easy to craft those items IRL than it is in Fallout 4. Given the trouble Pip had with his do-it-yourself Pip-Boy, that's a warning that should have already been beaten into his head!
