📋 About This Mod

Reduces Orbital Workshop research and replication costs by 30%, providing a more balanced progression while keeping the original Workshop system intact.

Balanced Workshop Costs -30% reduces the cost of researching and replicating items in the ICARUS Orbital Workshop by 30%.

The goal is to make Workshop progression less grindy while preserving the original progression and economy. Instead of making Workshop items free or dramatically reducing their cost, this mod applies a moderate 30% reduction to provide a more balanced experience.

FEATURES

• 30% lower Research Costs — Spend fewer resources when unlocking Workshop items.

• 30% lower Replication Costs — Replicate researched Workshop items for 30% less.

• Applies directly to Workshop costs — The reduction is calculated from the original ICARUS values.

• Balanced approach — Costs are reduced, not removed, so Workshop progression still requires investment.

• Lightweight modification — Focused specifically on Workshop research and replication costs.

Help Upgrade My Modding PC

My current PC is becoming increasingly limiting for developing and testing my ICARUS mods. I'm raising funds to upgrade from a Ryzen 5 2600X + 16 GB RAM to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D + 32 GB RAM.

Goal: $1,300 — Every contribution helps! ❤️

All support is completely optional. My mods will always remain free.
