📋 About This Mod
A small mod that reduces the amount of Remnant Cores needed to craft all ranks of the Heleus armor down to 1. Affects all researched levels, including ones already unlocked.
This is mostly to compensate for the severely limited number of Remnant Cores available to loot or find so that the armor can be upgraded as regularly as other multi-piece styles during a playthrough.
I'm also including an optional file that increases the minimum number of Remnant Cores dropped from each Architect to 5, and the maximum to 10.

⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Heleus armor—if you were hoping for broader crafting changes, this won't help.

For Mass Effect: Andromeda players who want to craft the Heleus armor set without the excessive Remnant Core grind. Skip if you're fine with the original pacing or want a more comprehensive crafting overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using Frosty Mod Manager, place the mod files in the correct directory and apply them before launching the game.
- The optional Architect drop file is separate—install it only if you want increased drops, not just reduced costs.
