Unlockable Research via items from Factions

[Beathrus]

Okay, so not so simple idea; Basically, raids come, you defeat the raiders and they leave behind a 'plan, research schematic' something like that. Then you 'deploy' this item somewhere, somewhere your researcher can 'study' it, and that unlocks a new thing of research, be it craft able item, better work stations, or just faction themed gear.

That is close. xD Now make 'em leave things so we can eventually craft a 'pirate table' and make a bunch of pirate themed gear? Would be fun for coastal maps!

Well, as someone who lives in the Southern Half of the US. I understand the 'its to hot in here' part. Well, whenever or some such. I love your mods, so I can wait for 'em. xD

It can be done and it already is in some mods (not the exact thing thrugh)

Ah. Basically if its just 'find this item, research it, learn to make it' or 'find a fragment of item, research it, after set amount learn to make it' etc. That would be nice. Even if like you have to 'consume' items to learn to make them. Say... Consume a set number of guns with higher quality giving more research points into learning to make it.
