BETTER SURVIVAL Chapter 2

BETTER SURVIVAL Chapter 2 Made by Paltryweasel during the night of the release Less grind, more resources. Changelog: - Crafting times (Craftbot, Sawtable, Portable Crafter, Mining Hub) cut in half - Refining (Refinery + Multi-tool) x3 to x10 depending on the material, manual refining time halved - Mining Hub machines (Ore Crusher, Prospector) output increased - Mining Hub Trader currency cost halved - Stack sizes greatly increased on almost every item (up to 1500 for building blocks, Gas/Battery/Water/Chemical/Glowstick stack sizes increased to 100) - Natural resource harvesting (crude oil, cotton, corn, pigment flowers, beehives, clams, mineral deposits, burnt wood) greatly increased - Burnt trees: half as many hits needed to break them - Underwater breath lasts twice as long - Gas/electric engine efficiency doubled - Loot (crates, robots) x3 To install: - Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\387990" (it's usually on the OS drive (C:). If it's not there, you probably installed Steam on a different storage drive.) For convenience, right-click your game in your Steam library and go to Properties... Go to the "Local Files" tab, then "Browse local files"... Go back two folder levels and navigate to workshop\content\387990. - You should find a folder called "3770927146" then open it and check the "preview" image; if it's the mod's thumbnail, you're in the right place. - Now go into the "Scrap Mechanic" folder and copy the "Data" and "Survival" folders, then paste them into the "Steam\steamapps\common\Scrap Mechanic" folder (go back 5 folder levels and you'll see the "common" folder), and click Replace. /!\ REQUIRED TO MAKE THIS MOD WORK /!\ Since chapter 2, the game caches compiled Lua scripts. Because of this, Survival script changes (crafting, refining, resource yields, etc.) do not take effect unless the game is launched with the -dev launch option enabled. It forces the game to bypass the cache and load scripts fresh. Without -dev, the mod will appear installed but nothing will actually change in-game. To enable it: right-click Scrap Mechanic in your Steam Library > Properties > General > Launch Options, and type: -dev Installation done! /!\ IMPORTANT /!\ You will need to redo the "Data"/"Survival" copy step above every time the game updates, or every time you use "Verify integrity of game files" as both restore the vanilla files and undo the mod. Also, using this mod (or any mod that alters Survival files) disables Steam achievements. This is enforced by the game itself once it detects modified files, not something this mod can bypass. If you care about achievements, disable the mod and the -dev launch option, you can still reinstall it once you have all the achievements you want. /!\ To uninstall, just go to your game's properties, Local Files, and click "Verify integrity of game files". You can now go build the massive, ridiculous creations you've always wanted :D -Paltry
