More Salvaged Data Rewards
Buried Technology Modules normally yield a predictable 2–4 Salvaged Data—a grind that slows down base building and creativity. This mod changes that by introducing a randomized reward between 2 and 50 Salvaged Data for each module dug up. Now every excavation has the chance to be a small find or a massive jackpot.
