Credit Runners - Upgrade Loot and Quest Rewards

Create a Credit Runners Terminal in either your ship or outpost for a modest fee of 1000 credits. Here are the current offerings:

(Prices increase exponentially over time and can be upgraded indefinitely)

Quest Rewards: ~1000 credits for 12,000 credits per upgrade

Credits in loot: ~360 credits for 20,000 credits per upgrade

Contraband Find: ~1 for 50,000 credits per upgrade

These prices can also be adjusted with a multiplier in the Gameplay Options menu, ranging from 0. 25X to 10X

Contraband and Credits locations notes:

This mod adds the chance for extra contraband to spawn in the default contraband locations, boss chests, creature piles, rock piles, and non-city vendors. The credits bonuses will also be added to those leveled lists. You'll find more credits with the Scavenging Perk and wherever credits are generally found.

For the aspiring smugglers out there, the contraband upgrade will also give you a reason to visit all the colonists and work provisioners scattered throughout the galaxy, though I would recommend playing with the Variable Contraband Prices mod to ensure making a profit when buying from vendors.

Quests notes:

Unfortunately, this probably isn't the most compatible with mods that touch the mission board like Missions Galore or Leveled Mission Rewards as far as I can tell, but feel free to try and report back the results. But this mod does increase the mission cap, so you should start seeing around 3X more missions on mission boards. You may also need to leave an area and wait a while, or go to a different planet for quests to refresh and update their prices if you've upgraded your quest rewards

    I made this mod because I kept running out of money when upgrading my character with my other mod and doing the same radiant quests without any sense of progression was becoming tedious. I also wanted more incentives and rewards to explore non-combat POIs since it felt like they were never worth visiting. Contraband also felt like an underutilized feature and was too
