📋 About This Mod

Overhauls the numerical balance and RNG mechanics of the Equipment Modifications system. Removes upgrade RNG to reduce tedium, and changes the values of equipment mods across the board to normalize the power curve, mitigate certain

Compatible with 9.x

Do you think the vanilla equipment system is a ridiculous power gacha that wastes your time and breaks the balance of combat? Well I do, so I made this mod to change that.

What this mod does:

This mod changes the vanilla equipment modification system in two major ways.

  • []By removing most RNG elements from modifications. Certain mods will still roll to choose bonus stats, but the numerical values of both main stats and bonus stats will always be the same.[/]

    []By massively changing and standardizing the numerical values of modifications. Mods will now scale power with their tier of rarity in a predictable manner. Additionally, certain unbalanced use cases have been reigned in (such as the Slasher mod being immensely overpowered when applied to turrets due to the tradeoff stat not affecting them. The new Slasher remains an efficient and economical choice for turrets, but is no longer a free ticket to ultimate DPS.)[/]

    []Generally lowers the performance ceiling so there's not as much of a massive gap between a modified ship and an unmodified one. A modified ship still makes combat easier and may open new tactical opportunities, but won't trivialize fights through sheer stat numbers as dramatically as vanilla modifications.

    What this mod does not:

    • []Change any material requirements required for crafting modifications[/]

      []Add modifications to AI ships[/]

      []Change any research requirements or other criteria for installing mods on player ships[/]

    How to read this list

    All entries in the list will follow a standard format:

    <name> (+<number of substats>): <guaranteed stat +x%>, <potential substats +x%>

    <name>: the name of the mod as it appears in the modifications menu in-game

    <number of substats>: how many substats it can roll out of a list. This number is only shown if there are more potential substats than there are bonus rolls.

    <guaranteed stat +x%>: any stat bonus that the modification is guaranteed to grant will be listed. For mods where the number of substats is the same as the as number of potential substats, all numbers will be shown as guaranteed stats.

    <potential substats +x%>: any stats that may be chosen as substats but are not guaranteed to appear for any given roll will be shown after the
