Description
What does this mod do?

When visiting the cryptoforge, you'll find a techprint containing the old knowledge of Crypto-smithing.
After applying the techprint and researching the new Crypto Smithing project, you'll be able to construct a brand new cryptoforge at home, and craft your own crypto gear.
Additionally, Blueprint benches that give your pawn an inspiration can now be found in both possible forge layouts, making RNG less impactful

The cryptoforge requires a lvl 12 builder, 1500 gold, 1000 steel, 500 plasteel and 10 advanced component to build. (Subject to change, still a bit unsure about those values)

Compatible with Crypto Weapons: Restored and Crypto Arsenal! Recommended mods, you should check them out!

F.A.Q

Q: There is already a mod that does that, why would I use this one?
A: Yes, Crypto-Tech : Craftable does something similar, But I started to work on this mod before Crypto-Tech : Craftable release, and I am not quite satisfied with it's implementation.
Key differences:
-The techprint spawn naturally inside the cryptoforge, instead of needing to be crafted
-Added Blueprint benches in the forge layout that didn't had any
-Use actual techprints in the research tab
-The new cryptoforge automatically read any recipe that use the base cryptoforge bench from VQE Cryptoforge: Any new recipe added to this bench should automatically be available in the new one.
-A much more reasonable research cost

Q: CE compatible?
A: Yes.

Q: Is it compatible with insert x mod in particular?
A: Yes

Q: Can I add it mid playthrough?
A: You should, although you won't be able to get the techprint if you already completed the Cryptoforge quest. You can either use devmode to spawn the techprint or start a new save.

Alright, some bad and good news
Bad news: Loot table ignoring techprint commonality is a vanilla bug and I can't do much about that.
Good news: It has been reported and acknowledged by Ludeon. It should be fixed in the next batch of bugfixes.

TLDR: Techprint spawning outside of the quest should be fixed soon after the next game update.

I don't think that's caused by FSF mod. the issue with techprint is that while you can easily prevent it from behing sold by a faction, i'm not aware of any way to prevent them from spawning in loot table. Your best course of action is deleting it with dev mod and spawining something else. If anyone knows how to prevent that from happening, i'd gladly implement a fix.
You can get this techprint from ancient structures, I think. Might be due to FSF Better Exploration Loot.

Update:
-Fixed oversight in the main mod were the job type used for making cryptostuff was set to crafting instead of smithing. Will revert it when the main mod is fixed.

@royallyTipsy Good catch, I went and tested in the main mod, and it's the same thing. Not sure if it's something I can change on my end, but i'll try and see if I can tinker something while waiting for them to fix it.

Working at the buildable Cryptoforge is Crafting work, not Smithing. It's fairly confusing. Granted, I didn't check if the Ancient variant at the actual quest site has it as Crafting though, in which case it might be a problem with the main mod.

Update:
-Updated to 1.6
-Techprint now spawn inside a hermetic crate instead of lying on the floor!
-Some Defs names have been changed for internal consistancies. If your cryptoforge or research disapeared, you can unlock them again using devmod
