Mod Request - Lore friendly research artifact crafting

[Tigah]

Basic idea, two new buildings, first building creates Ancient science books from 25 books, takes 24 hours (can be reduced, uses science skill) and it also creates Engineering research for 3 Ancient science books, takes 24 hours as well.

Second building creates AI cores for 5 CPU units 3 generator cores 3 power cores 5 steel bars, takes 72 hours.



I'd do it myself but can't for the life of me figure out kenshi modding. The idea of it is that its an expensive way to alternatively achieve enough research to get a good city going without exploring half the damned world. It also gives purpose to the some junk items found in ruins, and salvage parts of the junk to copy an AI core. It would however first require disassembling an AI core at a Level 6 research bench (tech). The premise on creating Ancient science books/Engineering research is that you'd concentrate information from a "previous tier" of book. (of course, cost ineffective). So to be clear, before you could even create an AI core you'd have to find 3 first, 2 for level 6 tech, and 1 for the technology where you learn to copy AI cores with the "junk" you find in ruins. It gives them purpose, but is still a relatively finite way to create them, and is costly. Could also add a tech for creating Ancient science books/Engineering research if you wish, it is not a major concern to me personally though.


The sprite for the two building benches could be perhaps some robotics bench or a research bench sprite, up to you, I'd probably do like a tech bench level 3-5 for the bench that crafts Ancient science books though.

I did a very quick search and I found this two mods in the Workshop:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1367842262
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=771378973

Not sure if it is exactly what you're looking for but I think it's close enough from a quick glance. There's more in the Workshop but I'm sure you can look for them yourself. I haven't searched for any mod that add AI Core but I assume they can also be found in the Workshop.

If you want to make your own mod and require help, I suggest try visiting the official Kenshi Discord channel (link in one of the pinned thread in the General Discussion subforum). I heard they're super helpful for those interested in modding the game. Good luck.

Not functional :/ there are some that work, but the ones that do are tedious and you produce them basically for free, id rather have them be still based on in game stuff, but still keep them expensive. (one mod adds like shops in every city, trees and wood so you can make paper out of wood and water to then make books...)
