About Alternate Recipe Research

From ficsit.app

Choose which Alternate Recipe to research with your hard-earned hard drives

Adds 6 research trees to the MAM where you can research Alternate Recipes.

Each tree has a milestone tier associated with it, and all milestones for that tier need to be completed in order for the research tree to be unlocked.

Each research node will cost at least 1 hard drive and some may also require 1 of 1-3 other items. The additional items are intended to match the same requirements that would need to be met before you would be able to obtain the Alternate Recipe through standard Hard Drive research.

For example, in order to get the Alternate Recipe for Caterium Wire, which lets you craft Wire from Caterium Ingots, you will need to pay 1 Caterium Ingot in addtion to a Hard Drive to "prove" you have unlocked that portion of the Caterium Research tree.

When you first load the game after installing this mod you may see a "Schematic Unlocked" message, this is simply bringing the new Research Trees up to date with any Alternate Recipes you've already unlocked.



There are a lot of Alternate Recipes, so if I missed any or something seems wrong our out of place please don't hesitate to contact me on Discord.
