Papyrus Mod

This overhaul mod adds several new objects, items, research topics, and crafting recipes to ultimately craft your own research items (Materials, Kits, Data, Chips) in a way that maintains game balance.

New Occult Research: Advanced Psychology (lvl4, Occult)
requires: Intellect Boosting
cost: 4320

MODIFIES EXISTING ITEMS BY MAKING THEM CRAFTABLE

You may use books to craft Academic Theses and then into your first Research Materials. After that, each higher tier research item requires 4 of the previous tier, plus some extra appropriate ingredients.

Note that not only are most of these items very work-intensive, but with the research structure in place, you must always use at least one research item of any type before you are able to unlock the necessary prerequisites to craft it. In other words, you will already had to have obtained at least one Research Data by the time you're able to craft them. This may seem pointless, but it will ultimately reduce the grind to get 5+ of each research item after you have purchased or looted your first.
