Book Restoration

Description
Wanted to have a way to craft the books/engineering research without it using easily produced items...have fun hauling almost everything out of a Lost Library...and a certain tower ;)

adds:
crafting station: Book Recovery Bench (4 iron plates) (uses science stat)
storage item: Book Cabinet (holds all book types, engineering research, and old map)
research: Book restoration (3 tiers)
1. lvl 2, build your bench, book cabinet and craft books (4 damaged books+1 leather)
2. lvl 3, craft AncientScience books (2 half-eaten Ancient + 1 leather)
3. lvl 4, craft engineering research (3 old maps)

other changes:
incresed stack size of half-eaten books from 1 to 4 to match the other book types.

notes: good for players who don't want to have to buy/steal research materials, and don't want to need to import as often.

But I use it all the time in my games. I guess I'll just set the price of damaged books to something super high and never sell them.

The mod changes the prices of the items by a lot (engineering research or ancient book for 100 cats ). So I cannot buy them from the stores anymore since it feels like cheating :(

This mod complements Hisomu's "No More Purchasable Resources" very well. That mod means you can't just go into town and steal all your tech upgrades from vendors anymore. Even palaces will gain you only two or three books a raid. So you have little choice but to recover lost tech from ruins using this mod to piece together the fragments of knowledge, and to choose your techs more wisely in the beginning. Makes things feel a lot more post-apocalypse.

need to remember guys I made this back when the map hadn't been fully released yet. and as stated earlier I have a robotics add on that added AI core crafting... this one is only for the "books"
(tho honestly both are small parts of my main mod which I will not distribute)

I feel like the... Mmm it shouldn't take exactly the same amount of time to recover engineering research as it should take recovering ancient science books and normal books. Maybe reduce the timers on the lower tiers? Maybe 1 hour for books? 2 hours for ancient and 4 hours for engineering? Also, AI core recovery would be amazing. It'd be using REALLY expensive stuff though. and a lot of them. And take a long time to craft. 24 hours.

The crafting recipes for Ancient Science and Engineering Research mess up their prices, making them really cheap. There are stores in the game that provide a one time supply of them, for instance the Tech hunters mechanic store offers 2 Ancient science, and there's quite a lot of stuff in Black Desert City... Other than that, nice mod!

for AI core crafting, take a look at my Robotics Addon mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1481562905
