📋 About This Mod
BUTCHERS OF NIGHT CITY
Version 2. 0

[]Cyberware Recovery System: Added a full recovery system for stolen cyberware. Receive SMS offers from Scavengers to buy back your implants, or get tips from fixer "Baku" leading to hidden Scavenger camps where you can recover them by force.[/]
[]SMS Messaging System: Added in-game SMS communication via NightlyNow Core. Chances of receiving SMS from Baku increase with the Street Cred level.[/]

[]Scavenger Fences & Guards: Scavenger fences now appear across Night City, guarded and ready to fight. Confront them directly to reclaim your gear.[/]
[]Blind Search Mode: Refuse the ransom and track them yourself. Hunt for signal signatures to locate hidden fence camps.[/]

[]Knockdown Scaling: Added configurable health- and level-based scaling for knockdown chances after Scavenger attacks.[/]
[]Recovery Window: Fences remain available for 24 hours (configurable). Miss the window, and your implants are gone for good.[/]
