Superior Crafting B18: Back from the nether! (Test Version)

So what is Superior Crafting? Well, it's my vision on how a redesign of the research tree and production chain can enhance the feel of starting out alone and isolated on a new world. With Superior Crafting, you start with minimal items you can build, and must research your way up to the more advanced items. The production chain is also enhanced, so that crafting plays a larger role in your colonies growth. This mod may NOT BE for EVERYONE. You have to work hard to unlock the good stuff, nothing is given to you for free. You'll also have to make hard choices as to what you want to research next. This choice matters, and depending on the biome you start in, one technology may benefit you more than if you started somewhere else.

The main aim of this mod is to expand and deepen the gameplay experience and the research tree in a coherent and a concise way as a whole, without having to install 2 million gameplay mods highly incongruent beetween eachother ruining the natural feel of smoothness of the vanilla gameplay.

The second goal is compatibility, this is intended to act as a basic framework for other mods to plug in with, and i intend to make this the most clean, polished and compatible as possible for other mods and future vanilla updates.

The third is to keep this as vanilla-lore friendly as possible, and not screwing too much the vanilla feel of the game.

it's highly recommended to play this with some research UI mod :

The core features are pretty similar but i introduced some differences to met features of the latest versions.

Tech level advance:
Current colony tech level will advance progressively to medieval, Industrial and spacer technology level if the following requirements are met:
Medieval: All tier 1 technologies are reserched
Industrial: All tier 2 technologies are reserched
Spacer: All tier 4 technologies are reserched
(Tier technologies are referred to the core tree advancments not the leafs)


-This is not compatible with any previous saves, and research tree mods.
-Should be compatible with every UI and combat mod since i left weapons stats vanilla (but not the TURRETS so u have been warned )
-Not compatible with Expanded Prosthetics and Organ Engineering (Since the whole prosthetics and organ mechanics is revamped u don't need it anyway ;))


I am not the original creator/owner of this mod, i just updated the source with a personal touch to work and blend harmoniously on this current version because since Abrexus didn't updated this beauty since March 26, 2015(and he's presumed dead, just kidding :)))).
A mod gem like this can't be forgotten !
Btw if he will come back i will be glad to return this to him.


This is a test release(So expect a lot of bugs, but this is already really playable) for bugfixing purposes because i don't have the time to test it as a whole and your feedback on this is really appreciated for future updates !
