Description
About the Mod:

The U.S.C.M. may be gone, but that doesn't mean that their equipment has to vanish as well...
This mod aims to add a new equipment progression line in the form of weapons armors and other assorted items.
These items are a stronger than their tier-respective counterparts but also are more costly to make.
To mix things up, players can open crafted weapon crates for different mixes of abilities and elements on their weapons.


Current Features:

1 new crafting station

7 tiers of armors

4 different types of turrets

1 shield

19 different weapons some with randomized elements and abilities

2 variants of flags in the form of radios

3 different back items

8 new very durable block types

1 new mining tool

20 U.S.C.M. themed furniture items

3 New Tenants

6 New Crew Members

1 New Vehicle

and equipment upgrade kits that can be used to level up your gear up to 6 times


Getting Started:

To get started with the mod simply kill Mother Poptop at the bottom of the mines.
This will give you a datapad which will unlock the basic crafting recipes for tier 1 equipment.
You can craft the new crafting station at the inventor's table
As you craft more and more equipment more and more tiers and options will unlock.

With the Weapon Upgrade Bags? Are you meant to be able to upgrade other weapons/armor other than USCM stuff?

Hi Koopa

If I knew how to make dungeons, I would make one, but sadly there are none currently

also is there USCM ruin or npc outpost & if so where do they usually spawn?

I'll have to make one at some point as I don't have one currently

can you link the github for this so people can search item paths & ids
The OG Koopa  [author] Mar 12 @ 6:15am 
simply right-click over the item you want to upgrade while holding the upgrade kit in your inventory

how do i use that uscm upgrade kit?

I tried it a few times before and gave up before it worked, and wow, no wonder, it takes whole 10 seconds, might need a disclaimer for that.

Not sure about the damage yet, but it could really use a longer range, so that it can at least reach the edge of the screen when you're holding ctrl.

Well, if you can figure out how to do it, it seems that the range is fixed, you might have a reason for making it this way, not sure how easy it is to mod this game.
