A mod which improves the existing upgrade system and adds new ones.

Upgrade cost scales more linearly with what you are paying for. More incentive to max out an upgrade category instead of buying a different sub.

Some Items can be upgraded to +50% or +100% efficiency.

The level-cap of hull strength upgrades have been increased to allow investment in late-game survivability.

Max level amounts have been increased or decreased, compressing items with un-needed levels into fewer upgrades and expanding items which did not have enough levels into more upgrades.

Adds new unique upgrades for: Sonar Range, Turret Firerate, Discharge Coil Range, and Discharge Coil Efficiency, and Machine/Equipment base HP.

Pumps and Engines have been given very high max limits, this is to facilitate 'certain types' of submarines. [spoiler]Typhon2, Berillia, R-29[/spoiler] If you manage to max-upgrade a submarine which is 'already upgraded' it will be extremely broken. - upgrade responsibly.

*Note: All currently supported EK submarines are now handling-stat compatible with engine speed upgrades, speed increases with more upgrades should now be more linear speed increase instead of exponential.

If you have issues after mod updates, use the ingame 're-install' button or re-download the mod manually.

The mod is updated to current campaign but 'Tier' restrictions have been reverted - so it is still possible to reach the crush depth requirement to finish the campaign with any upgraded submarine of your choosing.

Also theoretically nothing should matter if you add this mod mid-campaign, the game will probably yell at you once due to the stats being overwritten & if you've already purchased upgrades they might seem a bit 'off' but should be functionally fine once you start adding new ones.
