Better Ruins Schematic Patch
This is a quick mod to rebalance the schematics in Better Ruins for a server, currently it only effects the ones related to jonas parts. I found them to be a cute idea but also far too shifting in their impact, a player with the blueprints has too far too muc

About this project
What does Better Ruins Schematic Patch add?
This is a quick mod to rebalance the schematics in Better Ruins for a server, currently it only effects the ones related to jonas parts.
I found them to be a cute idea but also far too shifting in their impact, a player with the blueprints has too far too much advantage and sudden access to jonas tech compared to one without, and I felt it skipped too much of the game.
This mod does one basic tweak:
Now the schematic recipies all require one jonas part of their category alongside the original recipies. This way the schematics are still useful as a way to essentially reroll a jonas part at a cost, but dont completely side step the acqustion and impact of getting these parts from their dangerous origins.
