Description
This mod reworks the shop inventory of scrap dealers found on space stations in order to give players the option to purchase starship components used for fabricating ships with Tainted Metal as the currency when selecting the "Purchase old scrap" option.
Each scrap dealer will offer 8 various starship component items. Each space station will have a different selection of these items.
Each scrap dealer will still offer items like Repair Kits and Suspicious Packets for Tech, Goods and Arms.
The idea behind this mod is to give players a new reason to engage in exploring derelict freighters and farming Tainted Metal, as well as provide an alternative option to hunt for desired starship components. In late gameplay the items selection offered by scrap dealers becomes either redundant (due to outlaw stations selling lots of X class tech modules) or of little significance to general gameplay (some decals, base decoration items).
Note that it's imperative with removing said items from scrap dealers' inventory as long the mod is active.
This mod is likely to work with other mods modifying the same file.
Due to sheer amount of data added to the vanilla file by this mod, a LUA script is provided in order to help automate the process of creating a full MBIN file replacement version, from which the sections for an EXML patch can be extracted.
