Alpha Mechs: Re-Examined
NOTE: This is derived from my patch in Progression: Robotics, so it does NOT work with that mod. (Functionally they’re nearly identical so use Progression: Robotics if you want the extra changes.)

I always thought it was weird how Alpha Mechs is one of the only mech mods that gives you a full set of mech research that is done at the exact same time as the vanilla mech research.
So I made this mod to fix that by merging all vanilla-adjacent mech research together. It now flows better and feels more natural as you progress.
To go along with the merge, I’ve also adjusted research costs to balance out the now-condensed tech tree.
I also tweaked the Blitzkrieg, because it felt unnecessarily annoying to mass-produce for what you get out of it.
When paired with any mods that alpha mechs adds mechs for, this mod also merges the unlocks/research into vanilla.
That’s it for now. I’ll probably expand on this later and do a pass some of the other mechs, but nothing’s really screamed "change me" so far.
As always, if you run into a bug, please leave a comment containing a hugslib log + what you were doing when it happened. (If you don’t give me a hugslib log and I chop off your limbs)
