Upgrade Station v1.8i

Description
Mod ID: 821530042

Allows you to upgrade the quality of weapons, armor, tools, and saddles from primitive all the way to ascendant. Even works with items from other mods! Can also salvage items for resources.

This mod doesn't change any core files and is stackable with other mods (see below).

... Yes, it works with TEK armor!

Attention!

Rocket Launchers & Tek Rifles

Vanilla rocket launchers and TEK rifles can't be upgraded. However, I have created a small companion mod that allows you to replace your vanilla rocket launcher with an upgradeable one.

Feel free to sub to the "Classic Rocket Launchers" mod if you'd like to be able to upgrade your rocket launchers! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=884380337

We may do the same for Tek rifles in the future.

Compatibility

Weapons, armor, tools, and saddles from other mods can be upgraded and/or salvaged as long as the mod author has used the appropriate item as a starting point for their items (Hatchet for "Super Hatchet", Boots for "Tek Boots", etc).

While I can try my best to ensure items from other mods can be upgraded and salvaged I can't control what other mod authors do in their mods. When in doubt, put this mod last in the load order. :)

The Upgrade Station can upgrade all items from any mod as long as the item has an upgrade path. Items that don't have an upgrade path (C4, Tripwire, Wooden Spear, etc) cannot be upgraded because they don't have a quality index. Some items, like the Builder's Helmet, will identify as being valid to upgrade but won't actually upgrade in a meaningful way.

Version

Version 1.8i has been released! This update should fix the crashes that result from multiple players attempting to upgrade/salvage/blueprint/augment the same item. For more information, please see the Version 1.8i Release Notes.

Highly Configurable

If you're finding upgrade requirements to be too low for your liking please note that the upgrade formula is completely configurable via INI settings. Please read this discussion for more info as well as a link to the formula to give you an idea how it works: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/821530042/152392786911200641/

Most mods don't work properly on Aquatica; still.
The reason for this is simple - for Aquatica many core files have been worked on/changed.
So everyone playing the aquatica release has to be aware of that most mods won't run like intended.

@Aggroviking it's on the Aquatica map. I got it working, but for everyone that might still have this issue this is what I did. I'm using the Amp server manager. I verified the mod files were correct and found there were missing ones. I installed the mod on a solo world and then copied all files over, meaning, the 821530042.mod file in to the ShooterGame/Content/Mods folder and everything from the ShooterGame/Content/Mods/821530042 folder.

Hello, I have a question. Can this mod break the 1500 durability limit for Tek armor or any armor in general, or is that not possible?
Aggroviking Feb 2 @ 7:36am 
There is no lost colony content in here.
Rhea Feb 1 @ 12:40pm 
Does the upgrading work with the corrupted armor / weapons from lost colony also? or is it break them in any way?
