📋 About This Mod

A CustomCraft2 version of the mod "Realistic recipes and increased difficulty". No changes have been made.

Unfortunately, I don't see how you can change the fragment requirements of blueprints, so that part does not work with this mod.

The original mod was designed for CustomCraft (version 1), which does not always work well with other mods. CustomCraft2 has been designed to work well with other mods, but mods for CustomCraft don't work for CustomCraft2, hence this port.

Installation instructions:

1) Install QModManager

2) Install Modding Helper V2 (SMLHelper)

3) Install CustomCraft2

4) Replace the Subnautica/QMods/CustomCraft2SML/WorkingFiles/ModifiedRecipes.txt file by the provided file

All credits go to Ellinger74 for designing the original mod.
