Craftable Epics

This is the first scenario I publish, so give bug feedback or a like.

I designed this configuration mod as a subset of the game changes I have been playing for a long time now. This works in single player and does not change play balance significantly enough to make multiplayer any less fun, if not more.

Apologies when you start the game it looks like the "preview" is a question mark, that's because the game does not understand animated giff files, but Steam does understand them.

Best played with medium tech advances, and every other setting amped up to hardest difficulty. If you are a senior gamer like myself, you will probably be playing on this kind of difficulty setting, and love the ability to get epics without risking your life.

• Almost all epic items are craft-able, you will need the prior-level item to the epic, an Advanced constructor, some gold and a few other rare materials for each epic item.
  
• Bio fuel is a bit easier to make. Chainsaw runs for a bit longer.
  
• T2 shield gen
  
• Suit boosters are craft-able
  
• NEW Starting pod gives you sensible starting resources and weapons

I may have left a gift in one of the large constructors.

So this 'mod' has been in my vanilla folder for almost a year now as a bunch of manual file edits. I have written a guide some time ago on how to do this kind of thing yourself, but my guide is even out of date now with the new scenarios system. It's here if you want to see what the recipes I used, used to look like initially https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1998063529 .

I'm really waiting for feedback on this mod to make any improvement tweaks to the crafting recipes before I move on. But...

• I plan to add the flamethrower/flamethrowerT2 as a craft-able item. DONE!
  
• Craftable flamethrower fuel
  
• To tweak the number of ingots yielded by smelting ores to get you more of the raw materials.
  
• I want to drop light armour suit + boosters into the "starting conditions" inventory DONE
  
• Add epic pistol to the starting inventory

If this works out, I might do a merge with the awesome Project Eden https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2276751921 and upload that as an option. Bigger ideas, like merging with Reforged is not something I want to do try to do, it's a huge job, and especially since I prefer to play this game with CPU and with W/V turned off altogether, not worth my while yet.

As always, if you want something changed, let me know below, and if you want a "refresh" or update, likewise, just bump the thread, it's not hard for me to "update" this scenario at all, it literally takes 5 minutes. If you want to learn how to do this yourself, do remind me to write this up in a guide.
