Th8’s Extended Software

Th8’s Extended Software adds 10 new software types to Software Inc. I made this mod because I missed some variation with the vanilla game. I plan to keep updating and expanding this mod with new and exiting software types.

All Software types have custom name generators and have been included in the AI companies repertoire.

If you have any suggestions, ideas or bug-reports you can let me know on their respective discussion pages. If you want to use part of my mod to create something yourself, send me a message. Please don’t blatantly copy all of it though.
