~~ ABOUT THE MOD ~~

Balanced Tech Crafting is a mod which aims to provide a less random yet fair method of obtaining techs in Starbound. Rather than finding techs strewn throughout the universe, BTC adds recipes which are tier-appropriate and attempt to "make sense" (though techs can still be found in chests). 2-3 techs are introduced each tier beginning in the Gamma Sector, however this may be changed/tweaked. ​



The latest version of The latest version of Tabula Rasa is a requirement for crafting the techs, though I plan to have a dedicated tech table implemented at some point in time. If you are a talented artist and would like to design a tech table for me, please let me know! Twelve techs are craftable in total, and this mod will support any tech added by Chucklefish in the future.

​

~~ PLANNED FEATURES ~~

In addition to the tech crafting table and removing the Tabula Rasa requirement, I intend to add any tech which Chucklefish develops. I may also modify the tech recipes and in what sectors they become available, if I decide that they are overpowered or underpowered. If you have any other feature requests (for example: removing tech chest generation entirely), I am open to suggestions!



~~ INSTALLATION ~~

1. Download and install Tabula Rasa, if you don't have it already.

2. Download and extract BalancedTechCrafting.zip, you should have a BalancedTechCrafting folder with a modinfo file now.

3. Move your new folder to Starbound\mods, you should now have a folder structure that looks something like
