Mod allowing direct creation of turret blueprints from factory generated turrets.
Does not change blueprint creation from the turrets in inventory.

<! Might be incompatible with other mods altering vanilla turret factory UI !>
<! Please report any balance issues or bugs encountered with this mod !>

What would you do if you just found the perfect turret in some random factory, but had no materials to craft it?
Call your storage vessel from home sector? Fly around buying the materials required?


..buy only the blueprint?


Newest service of all turret factories! See a turret you like? Buy it's blueprint and craft it later, anywhere, anytime!* No hassle of always carrying the materials or looking for the specific factory ever again.

*regular restrictions (tech, materials) apply

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- adds new button to turret factory UI - "Blueprint"
- button active only for factory blueprints
- allows buying turret blueprints directly, instead of crafting the turret and turning it into a blueprint

- no need to be docked to the factory, works at any range
- blueprint is twice the cost of crafting the turret itself, but now you can use it anywheree

- turret factories allow crafting of exotic and legendary turrets (limited to allied factions)
* need to be allies to see either turret tier
* exotic turrets need 80000+ relations (exceptional) to see, 90000+ to craft
* legendary turrets need 90000+ relations to see, 95000+ to craft

Cost of the new turret might differ from the original factory prices. The script uses vanilla mechanics to generate a blueprint from the selected turret. The end effect should be identical to crafting the turret first and manually turning it into a blueprint. This mod just skips the tedious part of gathering materials.
