No Crafting Challenge Mod -- for 7 Days to Die [Alpha 17.3]
V1.2 by OrbitalBliss

Welcome to the No Crafting Challenge Mod.
This Mod removes all crafting... ALL crafting.
It also gives a slight bump to the Loot in regards to Food, Drink, and Medical Supplies, plus a few additions.
The Trader gets a boost in those things as well, and can sell a few things he previously did not.
Some of these additions are far less common than others, or require higher Barter (like Vehicles).
And a number of small fixes (I borrowed from my Home Depot Mod).

This mod is designed for use with a fresh game, but should work when added to an ongoing game.
This mod is intended to be played with all setting set to default, but you do you.

I hope this fills out your players gaming experiences. Have fun!!

Removed ALL Recipes
(and fixed resulting issues; broken scrapping and weapon/armor mod values, etc)

Disabled ALL Craftsmaship Perks, and gave Living Off The Land a new 1st Rank ability.
Re-tooled Intellect to give an XP bonus (instead of Crafting bonus, of course)

Starting Mission Overhaul:

• Place Bedroll. (Added Bedroll to starting equipment)
  
• Wear PlantFiber Clothes. (Added PlantFiber Clothes to rewards)

Loot Modifications:

• Increase Food, Drink, and Medicine in Loot.
  
• Added Frame Ramps (both), and Added Bicycle (in dumpsters rarely and lowlevel).

  • Added Bicycle to Traders (Rarely & low level, also as possible quest reward)
    
  • Added all Vehicles to Traders secret stash locked behind high Bartering.
    
  • Reduced the Economic Value of vehicles... so they don't cost 350,000 dukes.
• Removed Rare Recipe Books (quest reward) & Removed Crafting Magazines.

Simply download the No_Crafting_Challenge_Mod_v1.2.zip file (or whatever the current release is).
Do NOT just click "Clone or download" or you'll be downloading stuff you don't want/need.
Decompress this ZIP directly into your 7 Days to Die install directory.
If you didn't have a "Mods" folder, this will create one.
You should be ready to go.

PLEASE ... Always backup your save folder if you are adding mods to pre-existing games.
