Function Over Purchase (FOP)

Block pack containing modded alternative assets for DLC blocks that provide unique functionality be it PCU savings, ease of use or just functions you cant find otherwise. This should let everyone do the same types of engineering.

No DLC is required for this mod pack.

I do recommend you buy the DLCs when you get a chance as they are filled with high quality models and it supports keen.

All blocks are listed as Type B in game, next to their DLC version. Build stages and LODs implemented for all of them. New warfare 3 style colored icons.

Block list (and why)

Dispenser - no vanilla alternative
Vending Machine - no direct vanilla alternative
Bunk Bed (small grid bed) - no direct vanilla alternative, you'd have to use a cryo and need higher tier mats
Searchlight - major pcu savings, much easier than turret controller, spotlight, camera, hinge, rotor, and get 200m bonus range on small grid
Emotion controller - no vanilla alternative (nothing else can broadcast to screens)
Exhaust cap - no direct vanilla alternative
ATM - only like 3 of us know you can do same actions at a store block
3x3 floor slab - pcu savings, esp small grid
Explosive Barrel - no direct vanilla alternative (small explosion on large grid), panel access on small grid
Barrel - pcu, Can use a passenger seat, but I needed a similar model for explosive anyways
Double Cargo Container - pcu savings and helps a lot with selling
Modular cargo container - no direct vanilla alternative
Cargo terminal (half sized) - no direct vanilla alternative
Half battery - no direct vanilla alternative
Inset Cryo - unique ports
Top Mounted Camera - no direct vanilla alternative, used in a lot of builds
Warfare Ion Thrusters - Extra Mount Points
Corridore Storage - unique
Freight 1 2 and 3 - lots of unique sizes
Storage Bins - lots of unique sizes
Progammable Rack - 6 mount points vs 1 in vanilla
Offset Door - unique halfblock door
Angled Door A and B - unique double sided entryway
Lab Small Hydrogen and Oxygen tanks - unique ports allow for smaller builds
Inset Light - no vanilla alternative
5x3 and 5x5 LCDs - no direct vanilla alternative
Holo LCDs - no direct vanilla alternative

All models are inspired by the DLC blocks but (intentionally) not as nice. The original assets were not used (except some conveyor ports/screens). Keen if there is any issue let me know and I'll resolve it.
