Upgrade Station (ASA)

Mod Version: 0.1n

This mod allows you to upgrade the quality of weapons, armor, tools, and saddles from primitive all the way to ascendant. Even works with items from other mods! Can also salvage items for resources. This mod doesn’t change any core files and is stackable with other mods. Yes, it even works with TEK items!

Compatibility

Weapons, armor, tools, and saddles from other mods can be upgraded and/or salvaged as long as the mod author has used the appropriate item as a starting point for their items (Hatchet for “Super Hatchet”, Boots for “Tek Boots”, etc).

While we can try our best to ensure items from other mods can be upgraded and salvaged we can’t control what other mod authors do in their mods.

The Upgrade Station can upgrade all items from any mod as long as the item has an upgrade path. Items that don’t have an upgrade path (C4, Tripwire, Wooden Spear, etc) can’t be upgraded because they don’t have a quality index.

INI Settings & Formulas

If you’re finding upgrade requirements to be too low for your preferences, please note that the upgrade formula is completely configurable via INI settings. Please check out the INI settings and formulas to get an idea how the mod can be configured for your needs.
