[MOD] Crafted Mod Components

[steambeans2019]

This mod (Nexus Mods) is just a minor change to how the higher end (mk2 and mk3) main mod components are generated. It adds the ability to craft the higher tiers using lower tier components instead of relying on rare missions.

Barring ventures (which are blocked by mods, anyway), the only way to acquire non-mk1 components (that I found) was through rather rare missions (mk2 = 0.12% and mk3 = 0.08%). Assuming you even notice the mission, it may be bugged or otherwise near impossible to complete. I'll admit I did eventually get a couple by driving around the universe for a few hours farming missions, but I decided it'd be more fun to just kill stuff and eventually pool the built up resources (the mk1 stuff piles up)... so I created this mod.

The recipes are somewhat expensive, but they're really only intended to allow a "more work, less RNG" path to owning higher tier mods. Feel free to leave feedback.

Compatibility: mod simply adds crafting recipe nodes to each of the mod component wares.xml entries. Should be fully compatible with any mod that doesn't do the same.



FROM NEXUS MODS

The recipes will automatically* appear in the crafting table UI, like other crafting recipes.

*NOTE: due to how the crafting UI is designed, it will hide these recipes if you ONLY have the dropped mod components. To make this less tedious, each recipe has been designed to require one Interface Unit. A slightly more detailed explanation can be found in the bug report Recipes don't show up in crafting UI. Basically, if you're not seeing the recipes, get an Interface Unit (or one of the others) and check again.
