📋 About This Mod
Adds to the store equipment that provide broken mech upgrades such as negative tonnage, insane amount of heat dissipation and double armor for a lot of money. For all your late game power fantasy / infinite power scaling. Allows for crazy builds "if" you can afford it (you can cheat with F10 in YAML or a save editor).
YAML (Yet Another Mechlab) is greatly encouraged (YAML is supported as Unobtainium simply adds equipment and doesn't modify anything and YAML give you much customization that can use the extra tonnage).
To install, simply decompress the archive with 7zip and add to your mod folder.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this adds store equipment, you'll need to visit a store in-game to see the new items—check the shop after installing.

- If you're using other mods that alter stores or mech stats, test in a sandbox save to avoid conflicts.
