Description:

A content expansion focused on enhancing hacking mechanics. It will allow you to unlock superior technologies and become a master hacker, while also introducing new threats and challenges.

No DLC’s are required to use it. It’s more fun with them, but the mod adds hackable content on it’s own.

You also don’t need to collect the starting cyberdeck to progress in the mod. It can be crafted.

The mod is designed to fit seamlessly with the base game, and I’ve done my best to balance it accordingly.

As always, all suggestions about balance and content are very welcome. I can’t promise to implement them all, but I love reading your creative ideas.

Recommended mods:

Odyssey DLC – adds a ton of hackable things and the cyberpod works great on gravships
Ideology DLC – adds plenty of hackable things

Incompatible mods:
None at the moment.

Q: Matrix?
A: YES.

Q: William Gibson…?
A: YES.

Q: Is the source code available somewhere?
A: Yes, my GitHub is BlueEagle421.

Q: CE?
A: No idea.

Q: Can I add it mid-play to an existing save?
A: Yes, but some content is available only while generating the map for the first time.

Q: Can I remove it mid-play?
A: I wouldn’t recommend it, but if you somehow manage to erase all the mod content from the save, it could work.

Q: Is this mod part of Vanilla Expanded series?
A: No, it’s not.

While reporting a bug, please always use HugsLib (or just provide your mod list) and always check your mod load order. I can’t help without it. Thank you.

All the graphics, XML and programming done by me – BlueEagle421 (Ushanka back in the days). I decided to use my old nick here, because it was used in all the other mods.
