This mod mainly focuses on the more destructive parts of the game with an array of new nuclear warheads to play with and a few new ammo types for guns. This mod as well expands on a concept I feel is missing its potential which would be the piezo crystals. The mod adds a new ammo type for the pulse laser and a new infantry weapon based on the piezo crystals. It also adds a warhead using the piezo crystals as a long range EMP. The mod also adds the ability for many of the base elements like carbon to be deconstructed into smaller elements. For example the carbon recipe breaks down into 2 units of lithium allowing for more resource flexibility, however be careful as the process is irreversible. It is also designed to be as compatible with other mods as possible but be careful anyway.

F.A.Q.

Q. How do I get Piezo Crystals? A. Each research outpost has 1 for sale for around 500 marks. Rarely found in wrecks.
