Originally born from the various Cyberpunk mods (with justin.crause’s permission), this mod features a ton of changes, enhancements, rebalancing, and more content to come. See the Change Notes tab for all the details on the 2.0 update. Make sure not to use the Cyberpunks – Scenario or Characters mods with this one as they will heavily conflict in some situations.

For the ultimate beginning to end mod synergy experience that gives you a true challenge, I highly recommend playing it with these other mods:

Old Earth Tech – Redux + Research & Resource Integration Add-ons
Research & Development Costs – Mod Support
Better Grenades
Enemies Evolve
Truly Hostile Wildlife – with or without EE Support
Skill Mastery Rewards + prereqs
Drones of War + Drones of Peace
Mobile Turrets of War
More Challenging/Realistic Farming
Updated Food Recipes + addons and prereqs
Pursue Hostiles (to get the most of the melee and short range weapons)

There’s a ton of content, so strap in.

Characters:

Roz – A chemist that specializes in crafting and constructing with Plasma and Atomic resources. 25% more damage with Plasma weapons.
Vesper Solonova – A natural materials expert that specializes in Radioactive Material, Silicon, Carbon Nanotubes, and Ore. Harvests more Radioactive Material from expeditions independent of Physical Skill, and more non-stone resources from mining nodes.

Weapons from lowest to highest tier:

Powered Shortbow
Powered Crossbow
Pacifier Rifle (taming creatures only)
Plasma Laser Rifle (power, fire rate, & range between the pistol and sniper)
Plasma Bow (very long range, less damage than a sniper, but significantly higher bleed damage)
Plasma Pistols 1.0 and 2.0 (Superior to the Laser Pistol 1.0 and 2.0 respectively)
Plasma Pike (Superior to the Laser Pike, does short range cone damage in front)
Plasma Shotgun (Superior to the Pulse Rifle 2.0)
Plasma Sniper Rifle (Superior to the Sniper Rifle 2.0)
Plasma Sword (Superior to the Laser Sword, highest "per hit" melee damage and attack rate)
Atomic Pistol (ultimate weapon, very small AoE at bullet impact, radiation/EMP DoT)
Atomic Bow (ultimate weapon, small AoE at bullet impact, radiation/EMP DoT)
Atomic Crossbow (ultimate weapon, small AoE at bullet impact, radiation/EMP DoT, enemy knockdown)
Atomic Rifle (ultimate weapon, very small AoE at bullet impact, radiation/EMP DoT)
Atomic Shotgun (ultimate weapon, small AoE at bullet impact, radiation/EMP DoT, enemy knockdown, causes friendly fire)
Atomic Spear (ultimate weapon, small cone damage in front of attacker, radiation/EMP DoT)
Atomic Sniper Rifle (ultimate weapon, small AoE at bullet impact, radiation/EMP DoT, enemy knockdown)

Armor:

Advanced Synthetic Armor – Additional protection compared to regular Synthetic, along with immunity to lightning strikes and some energy and gas protection.
Silicon Armor – High tier armor with more blunt and piercing protection, with some energy protection and gas protection.
Atomic Armor – The ultimate armor. High protection against all damage types, immunity to environmental hazards, and speed and health boosts.

Buildings:

Dry Ager – Modern appliance for drying meat, smokeleaves, and hides faster.
Advanced Fermentation – Ferments fermentables fermentably faster.
Atomic Power – Generator and batteries. Produces and stores a huge amount of power, but requires nuclear material to operate.
Plasma Turrets – Advanced turrets that feature a minigun, railgun, laser, flak cannon, or missile launcher.
Atomic Turrets – Further advanced turrets that feature the above, along with a mini-nuke and pulse cannon.
Carbon Power Pole – Much sturdier power pole compared to wood and metal.
Composter – Turn old or unwanted fruits, veggies, plant matter, and meals into manure.
Crystal Battery – Increased HP and storage compared to vanilla.
Factory Forge – Advanced Forge for creating large amounts of bricks, concrete, and metal.
Enhanced Medical Bed – Advanced healing bed that heals faster than vanilla.
AI Research Desk – AI powered research desk that’s 25% faster than the Advanced desk, and 50% faster than the regular one.
Military Wardrobe – Large storage for clothing, armor, and weapons.
Resource Warehouse – Large general storage building that’s outdoor only, but stores a lot of resources at cold temps.
Plasma Energy Generator – Create large amounts of power using plasma gas.
Automated Extractor – Allows you to automatically mine small amounts of stone, ore, silicon, carbon, crystals, and once discovered, nuclear material.
Fabric Printer – Print fabric from a 3D printing device.
Medical Cabinet – Wall mounted storage specifically for medical items.
Mystical Tree – Special tree that can grant you wood and sticks infinitely, but in very small amounts.
Reinforced Wood – Combined with the Resin Tree, you can make wood stronger and use it to build strong fortifications and homes.
Tesla Spire – Advanced lighting rod that has a wider range of coverage.
Radiation Container – Dedicated storage space for radioactive material (once discovered via the Explore expedition).

To Do list

Plasma Crossbow, Atomic Sword, Plasma/Atomic Warhammers, and full-auto Plasma/Atomic weapons to fill in the gaps vs OET.
Make fortified wood home materials "Very Strong Support" and "Good Thermal Insulation". This is surprisingly very complicated.
Further re-balancing based on feedback/my own gameplay experiences.
