📋 About This Mod
The temple puzzles are bland enough that doing 24 temples to unlock every power already borders on a questionable degree of repetition. Now, having to do 240 temples to max your powers is utterly inane. The power upgrade mechanic in vanilla might as well not exist because nobody wants to endure this sisyphean tedium. This mod aims to fix this temple-power gameplay loop without breaking or making redundant any vanilla mechanics. Powers will now upgrade automatically with NG+, while temples will grant quantum essence instead of power upgrades.
