Version 1.4 is a pretty major update because it changes how items are generated and it attempts to balance the items and resource requirements based on player feedback.


We've created a new method for generating items that doesn't use loops. This means that there is now zero chance for a buffer overflow error or an infinite loop error. This also means that the two INI settings associated with these errors are no longer needed and have thus been removed.


The resource requirements formula has received an update based on player feedback. Many players thought the mod was too overpowered, and after 20-30 hours of playing, we feel the sam way. We have kept the "Upgrade Multiplier" value at 1.5 and increased the "Upgrade Exponential Multiplier" value to 1.25 (up from 1.1). For more information regarding how this works, please reference this spreadsheet:

Generated items have been re-balanced to be more on par with blueprints found in the wild. These values are based on vanilla blueprints but have a chance to be a little higher or a little lower than the blueprints you would normally find. Additionally, due to the new stats algorithm, all items upgraded using the upgrade station from Primitive to Ascendant can no longer have lower values than the previous tier item has. This does not apply to items found in the wild that are Ramshackle or above. We can't control the stats of items found in the wild.


We've fixed a small handful of bugs including replication issues and sound volume issues.


We've removed a lot of old code and models so hopefully this will reduce the file size of the mod so you can save a little bandwidth when updating.

• We are still looking into the issue where players playing on a non-dedicated server (ie, one player hosts the game and other players connect) can't upgrade items; only the hosting player can. We're pretty sure we know what's wrong and how to fix it. Expect an update soon!
