Welcome to my first mod!

This is a mod designed to improve (and fix) the in game descriptions to reduce the need for wikis and provide more clarity to the player directly. I aim to keep the regular flavor text in the game, even if it means we have to move it. The old short descriptions are moved to the top of the long descriptions, and the new short descriptions now provide more quick and clear information on what an item does. Utility descriptions for various items are fixed and include more info. Many descriptions are edited if they were wrong or not providing enough info.

No, this is not a copy and paste from the fandom either. I try and source everything from the game files/engine itself. Sometimes this involves extensive testing or searching as I am new to this. This can also result in long turnover times before something gets added.

Current Descriptions that are fixed: -Tinker bench descriptions now more accurately represent the numerical value of each equipment modification so you know what you are making before you make it. -Updated equipment modification descriptions as well as utility descriptions for various modifications. -Many of the crafting stations have been updated. -Many resources that are used as fuel have been updated to include the base burn time info. -Book level short descriptions to better track sorcery progress. -Numerical value on the amount of health Aloe Extracts restore.

Many more descriptions are planned, typically on a request basis or as I run into it as I play.

If you plan to report typos/issues relating to things that the mod changes, ensure the issues happen with only BetterDescriptions installed. I ran into a few bugs with descriptions that were directly caused by other mods. I cannot fix other peoples' mistakes.
