The lack of mod configuration
The lack of configuration for this mod is somewhat depressing. Don't get me wrong, but from how things are setup, and what current configurations exist? This seems more intended for a PVE enviroment. I was hoping to incorporate some of these things into my pvp server, unfortunately there is many things preventing me from being able to enjoy this mod without destroying what feels like 'balance' in a pvp enviroment.

Things that would be nice to configure:
-Ability to disable pickup of structures via ini file.
-Configuration settings for cooking/smelting to adjust output. (2x metal smelt feels too powerful)
-Configuration settings for the grill to lessen the ammount of stacks it is able to produce. (Portable industrial grill? Without the need for fuel? Too powerful!)
-Configuration settings for new gathering tools to adjust them.
-Configuration settings for the snorkel to lessen the 70% oxygen to something much, MUCH less. (Why would people even bother with scuba tanks? Default oxygen yields an absurd amount of oxygen @ 70%)


With all of that listed, I do really feel like this mod offers a great deal of what the official game lacks. The time spent on the estimates of engram costs, associated levels and the new methods of crafting these new items really demonstrate how much effort and time has went into this mod.

With some extra configuration options for our unofficial servers, anyone could really make this their own and let it shine. I would rock a mod tag for that, and more.

What do you guys think?
