Xeno's No Credits for Upgrades (NCU)

Well Gee Whiz! Having a hard time keeping your check book in, well, check? Always a little to short on credits? Well now you can only blame yourself with Xeno's No Credits for Upgrades mod!

All these hard earned resources you've gathered up, especially the rare ones are just LACKING a reasonable use.

Why collect so much Caelumite, when it has near no purpose? All that hard to find Aqueous Hematite, just to be sold for credits? NO! How sad, why sell it when you can use it?

This mod changes the crafting recipes for tier upgrades and x-tech related upgrades to no longer take credits, but instead an assortment of resources. With the new database, finding these rare elements will be a bit more doable, but still a grind. This also increases the X-tech cost of upgrades a minor amount; I've found myself swimming in it even without my Craftable X-Tech mod installed in which I highly recommend.

This mods adds A LOT of Caelumite and (Less so) Aqueous Hematite usage and it increases in the higher tiers. However these aren't the only materials used. The rarity of the necessary materials increases based on the tier you're upgrading to. This is still meant to take effort, just something a little more mechanically friendly than paying your workbench to upgrade your stuff. What is this, FO76? JK i like FO76

Rebalanced for less Aq use, it was too grindy

If you feel this is unbalanced or have issues send me a DM on NexusMods as xenosphor
