Key Changes & Features

Learn by Doing

• No skill points. No perks. Every ability levels as you use it.

• Want to use a shotgun? Want to use a machine gun? Then master pistols first.

• Progression is logical:

  • Pistols → Machine Guns (level 50+)

  • Machine Guns → SMGs

  • Shotguns → Rifles

  • Weapons only level by using them in combat.

�� Reworked Crafting & Workbenches

• Vanilla workbenches removed. Custom-built workbenches now have unique mechanics.

• Must find schematics or the benches themselves in-world.

• Certain benches require s-core wireless power (battery bank or generator within 10 blocks).

• Repair and crafting only possible with the correct setup.

�� New Cooking System

• Requires propane camp stove and black propane tank.

• Fueled by a white propane tank (harvested from large industrial tanks).

�� Backpack & Encumbrance Overhaul

• Thanks to s-core: 4 backpack types—Civilian, Small, Medium, and Large Military.

• Each tier increases carry capacity.

• Unlocks via armor skill progression:

  • Level by crafting armor, letting armor take damage, or making armor mods.

�� Biome-Based Progression

• Each biome has a Biome Boss tied to trader reputation.

• Example: Reach Level 10 rep in Forest biome = 3% chance every 5 minutes for Forest Boss to spawn.

• Special ores by biome:

  • Forest/Burnt: Nitrate

  • Desert: Oil Shale

  • Snow: Iron

�� Trader & Reputation Overhaul

• Reputation now matters:

  • Reach Level 10 → Unlock crafting for Trader Purchasing Vending Machine (starting with Trader Rekt).

  • Place in your base to buy/sell directly.

�� Time is Relative

• You can’t tell time... unless you loot a blue cell phone from a couch.

  • Don’t open it. You’ll need it whole—at least the first one.

⚠️ Survival Tips

• Everything has value. Almost every item has a place in a recipe—don’t sell everything blindly.

• Loot smart. You never know what niche item might unlock a critical craft or upgrade.

• Be ready for surprises—some mechanics and spawns are hidden.

• This mod encourages player discovery. There's no hand-holding.
