Many thanks to the TwitchTV streamers listed below who are supporters of Superior Crafting.  Many great ideas for the mod have been conceived from the streamers and viewers there.  Please feel free to drop in, share your thoughts, and say hello!  Also, a special thanks to Das24680.  I first found out about Rimworld on his Youtube channel.  It's entirely his fault I got sucked into the game and this amazing mod community!

Special thanks to Kirid, jacob814, Skullywag, & Jaxxa for allowing me to incorporate their work into Superior Crafting!  Please note:  Any use of Superior Crafting Alpha 11 additions and features requires a request be sent to Abrexus.  This is due to the fact that some of the new code and textures are not mine, and were given to me for my use in this pack only.



Latest Version
Superior Crafting Alpha 11b CORE Mod Download v0712
*note*  this is for Rimworld alpha 11b and later ONLY.

Previous Versions
Superior Crafting Alpha 11 CORE Mod Download v0703
*note*  this may NOT be save game compatible with versions earlier than 0701 and is not compatible with alpha 11b or later.

So what is Superior Crafting?  Well, it's my vision on how a redesign of the research tree and production chain can enhance the feel of starting out alone and isolated on a new world.  With Superior Crafting, you start with minimal items you can build, and must research your way up to the more advanced items.  The production chain is also enhanced, so that crafting plays a larger role in your colonies growth.  This mod may not be for everyone.  You have to work hard to unlock the good stuff, nothing is given to you for free.  You'll also have to make hard choices as to what you want to research next.  This choice matters, and depending on the biome you start in, one technology may benefit you more than if you started somewhere else.

Please feel free to leave any comments, questions, or ideas, because without you the community this mod would not be what it is today!

- FAQ -
Question:  I want to build a furnace, but it wants to make it out of slate blocks and I don't have any and can't make any.
Answer:  If you click on the icon in the build menu, you can select what types of blocks you can build it from.  Sometimes the default selection isn't a type of block you may already have.

Question:  How do I use the training devices?
Answer:  All four training devices are mannable.  Just activate your pawn and right-click the item to direct them to man it.  They will stop using it when they are tired, hungry, or interrupted by you.

- Mods I play SC with -
EdB Interface UI Mod
EdB Prepare Carefully
Pawn State Icons (v03d)

I use the above mods in all my games, and they all work without any problems so far.

Zombie Apocalypse Fix
This is a fix for the Zombie Apocalypse mod.  Overwrite the Races_Zombie.xml file located in the  "Defs/ThingsDefs" folder of the Zombie Apocalypse Mod folder, with the one included in this ZIP file.

this mod looks really cool, saw Rawdee123 stream it and Abraxus was really cool explaining it on the stream, can't wait to try it

[apljee]

I'll have to try this mod. It seems there's been a lot of research overhaul mods (including mine) recently!

[Ramsis]

I had to bug the CRAP out of Abrexus just to get him to come back. I had to send emails, physically call his cell phone, threaten him with violence, and even mass bother him via Skype. Trust me when I say it was worth the effort and I'm glad I got him to come back.

That being said, I can't wait to see just how great this mod gets and so help me god if Abrexus tries to abandon us again....

I haven't tested it with those yet, although Apparello should work fairly well as I didn't change the default cloth def names.  It does work well with the EdB Mods and the Zombie Apocalypse mod.

Just an FYI there is a typo in the smelting recipe, but it just a test description typo, the recipe does produce the correct materials.

May I ask what you made that tech tree in (not the background, just the techtree diagram), I've been struggling with finding a reliable choice for my mod.

I used "drive.draw.io" from my google chrome browser.  I was a bit surprised at how easy it was to use, and it exports it as a PNG with a transparent background, which makes it easy to transpose onto something else.

Is this compatible with extended surgery and bionics?

Is this compatible with extended surgery and bionics?

As I am a big fan of that mod myself, I have included most of those features in this mod as well, so you wouldn't need to run both.

[krazy_tony_13]
