📋 About This Mod
Brief description:
Got a new weapon/upgrade recipe and want to use it, but you're just too broke? Well, with this mod, this will be very unlikely. This mod changes every single resource required to 1.
Potentially useful information:
This is my first "mod".
These files are 100% the exact same as the vanilla ones, but just cheaper. No other shenanigans.
Main files are just 'WeaponAttributes.json' and 'WeaponUpgrades.son'. (not so) Optional file is the 'Recipes.son' file, which makes the consumables and ammo just as cheap.
Installation:
Once downloaded, open the .zip file and drag them in the following directory:
-> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Atomic Heart -> AtomicHeart -> Content -> Gametune
If you want to keep the vanilla files just in case, I'd suggest to put the original files somewhere in a folder.
Additional information:
While I perfectly could've made other optional files that made the prices a bit more balanced, I edited these files manually and they were pretty long. So, if you want to make it a bit more balanced, edit the files yourself.
Ultimately, if something doesn't work, I genuinely have no knowledge of coding and only messed a bit around with the files because that's as far as my knowledge goes. Have fun crafting!
Problems I have no clue of how to fix:
-While the weapon crafting defently all is 1, the upgrades seem to just be incredibly cheaper.
-Consumables (I don't know what their vanilla prices are) appear to be unchanged.
As for these problems, please consider giving me feedback or just tell me how to fix so more players can enjoy cheaper prices. If you encounter more problems than I mentioned, leave them in the bugs report tab. As I said before, I have no knowledge about coding, but I can try to take another look at the file.
