📋 About This Mod

Bring your favorite gear with you all the way to the major leagues!

This mod pins the upgrade component cost at a fixed level, so that no matter how many times an item was upgraded, the cost remains the same.

Three versions allow you to pin the values to a level corresponding to the 2nd, 4th or the 8th upgrade, to find your level of balance.

See the images for example costs at the three levels.

This mod is tested on game version 1. 23 and 1. 3 (thanks to @BigHeartedRyan for doing the 1. 3 testing).

This mod requires Redscript to work.

I might support this mod moving on. If not, any mod maker with basic understanding of Redscript should be able to open this script file in a text editor and recreate what I did.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check the mod's files section to see which of the three versions suits your needs — they likely differ in how they pin the cost.
  • Since the mod was last updated in 2022, test it after a game update to ensure it still works as intended.
  • If you're using a mod manager, install it like any other mod; if manual, just drop the files into your game's data folder.
