📋 About This Mod
Description
It's my opinion that the player being able to handcraft, and mass produce complicated equipment on the fly is not immersive. This mod aims to make outpost building more like shipbuilding. Expensive, but accessible.
This mod changes the building requirements for every item (with the exception of quest items like the armillary and commitment gifts) from resources to credits.
It does this by overwriting the vanilla constructable object records so any mods that edit those records will need a patch to work properly.
This also means with this mod installed you cannot build using resources at all. I did this to avoid the cluttering the build menu with a second entry for every single item.
I also removed some of the research requirements as well as the "outpost decoration" research projects all together. Storage containers, advanced versions of the solar and wind power generators, inter-system cargo link, all furniture, all decor, and all displays no longer require research to complete.
I kept research for the complicated pieces of equipment as a sort of "you need to be certified before we can sell this to you," kind of thing.
I did not touch any quest-related or global value conditions.
