Craftable Corvette Parts

Corvettes are awesome; so why are you stuck buying parts every time or grinding for RNG drops? Not anymore.

Corvette Parts Crafting

• []All corvette parts you find or purchase are now consumables

  []Using one permanently unlocks the crafting recipe for that part (and keeps it in your inventory)

  []When building or editing a corvette, you can use parts from your inventory or craft ones you've already learned. Recipes display in-place just like base building

  Shop Price Adjustments

  When building the recipes, I wanted them to be approachable from early game, with many parts costing as little as some copper and a few metal plates. The problem with that is nothing stops you from crafting parts cheap and selling them for millions. That wasn't my design goal.

  To close that loop, part prices have been re-balanced:

  • []Base value reduced to 1/20th of vanilla

  • Buy price multiplier set to x20

    Purchase prices stay close to vanilla while sell prices drop to the floor, offsetting the cheap crafting costs. A side effect: part prices are now affected by station price fluctuations, so shopping around can actually get you a better deal if you'd rather buy than craft.

    All Parts Now Purchasable

    Every corvette part (including Expedition 19 & 20 exclusives) is available in the basic parts shop from the start. No more hunting down specific shops or hoping for stock.

    One important caveat:

    The intended experience is: buy a part → learn it → craft it forever. This only works if you don't already know all the parts. By default, the game unlocks the full catalog at the start, so this mod removes that, meaning blueprints must be learned through purchase.

    ⚠️ For the full intended experience, start a new save. You can use the mod just fine on an existing save, but the blueprint-learning mechanic will be largely pointless since you already know everything. A save editor can also remove known parts if you don't want to start fresh.
