📋 About This Mod
This mod changes the salvage share "step" value from 3 to 5.
Every contract starts with a base of 5 salvage shares, and every negotiation point you put into salvage gives you another 5 salvage shares. So whereas in vanilla you'd need to spend 9 negotiation points to get 30 salvage shares (3 + (9 3)), now you only need to spend 5 negotiation points for the same effect (5 + (5 5))!
Installation Instructions
