RIY – Research It Yourself! (Books, ancients, engineering and AI)
This is a refurbish of the following mod by ForgeDrake (thank you for such an awesome mod even if you stopped supporting it!): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=769042258&tscn=1527042803
Two new researches, Book Binding and Advanced Researching, will give you access to the following:
AI Research Bench for turning engineering research in to AI cores
Book Binder for turning paper and ink in to actual books
Book Case for storing books, AI cores, Ancient Science books and Engineering research (convenience)
Book Research station for turning books in to ancient science books
Engineering Research station for converting Ancient Science books in to Engineering Research
Paper Press (Cotton) for creating paper from Cotton, and the NEW Paper Press (Hemp) for making it out of hemp!
Ink Station for making Ink from raw iron and water
Ancient Books Storage for… well, you can guess that one
Two storage containers, one for ink and one for paper
Conversion rates for making a lot of this stuff can be pretty big. For the most part I kept it to the original mod’s settings, but I can’t remember if I tweaked anything. The idea is that researching often takes a lot of materials for testing the scientific method, finding and testing reproducible results, and all of that good stuff. This is done with that intention in mind, but let me know if you have suggestions for balancing, please be specific.
Please report any bugs or issues, and if you have save files for me to use to test them, I would really appreciate it. Let me know of any suggestions you have, this is far from a final version and I’m happy to try and work things around so it’s not sandboxy, but fair. Hope you enjoy!
If you like this mod and like the idea of making your base operations more efficient, my pal Timmy made his first mod that adds more hybrid mines. Check it out if you like the idea: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1392808852
