@The Blind One oh yeah, I was working on a mod that adds those before I ended up scrapping it, forgot to remove them when copying stuff :Y

Works fine for me,

Also why are there 'whip' textures in the mod?

Was that a project of yours that never got finished and you forgot to delete them from the uploaded package?

@mattattackj1029 I will, tho currently I'm pre-occupied with a different mod project. It's somewhat large so it will take a while

Will you ever update it to 1.4?

Amazing! Cannot wait for the 1.4!

@narwalguy 1.3

This didn't add the recipe to the machining table.

@ALE199-ITA it will

I sure hope this gets updated, really makes most technology much more approachable

was the fabrication research requirement removed?

@Kowhaifan yes, and?
The mod isn't here because it's impossible to do, it's just quite stupid that a.components are required to make a.components.
I thought I've made that quite obvious.

but cant you just buy components/advanced components from traders??????????? or just make a caravan buy em?

I think this should work.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Patch>
<Operation Class="PatchOperationRemove"><xpath>/Defs/ResearchProjectDef[defName="Fabrication"]/requiredResearchBuilding</xpath></Operation>
<Operation Class="PatchOperationRemove"><xpath>/Defs/ResearchProjectDef[defName="Fabrication"]/requiredResearchFacilities</xpath></Operation>
</Patch>

Didn't test it yet though, since I usually only use sequences for patches I might've made a mistake lol

@Hiroyan oops, yeah forgot about that :Y
Later I think I'll patch the fabrication research to not require the hi-tech bench (advanced fabrication will stay the same).

Keep in mind that fabrication research requires components to make the research table etc.
Removing that need by patching the research would enable the ability to make them without having to steal or salvage components.

This mod is fine as is though and I appreciate it. ;)
