📋 About This Mod

Compatible with all versions of the game.
  • []The description of Actual Chrome Compression - Better Balanced Configuration - (Optional Files) now displays the compression percentage correctly and supports languages (Eng - Spa - Latam)

Mandatory mods:

  • []Cyberware-EX (Only Main File).
    • []Cyberarm Cycle - if you want to change arms, for example: from mantis blades to gorilla arms. In my case I use version 1. 3. 0, it is the one that works best for me. (You don't need Kingcode if you install version 1. 3. 0)
      • []Actual Chrome Compression since it is more immersive and allows you to install all additional cyberware reaching the extreme of the capacity taking advantage of the Edgerunner ability.

        1 - First you must install it. Here is the link of the mod: Actual Chrome Compression

        2 - Second you download the optional configuration file named (Actual Chrome Compression - Better Balanced Configuration) (or the version you prefer to download) that modifies the Tier 5+ and Tier 5++ statistics to the optimal values and that's it. or you can do it manually to your liking. I leave the steps to follow.

        • Additional Steps (if you want to configure the mod manually to your liking)

          1 - First you must install it. Here is the link of the mod: Actual Chrome Compression

          2 - Then open the folder named: (r6\tweaks\Actual Chrome Compression) where you will find a file called: Actual Chrome Compression.yaml you must open the file with a text file reader program, either with notepad or any other program and you will replace these values:

          - { quality: LegendaryPlus, mod: 0. 7 } # -30%

          - { quality: LegendaryPlusPlus, mod: 0. 6 } # -40%

          3 - Then save the file with said values already added and that's it.

          What I really want with this modification is: for the Chrome compressor to be completely useful in the game. May it not be forgotten. All players must install the chrome compressor to be able to install all the addi
