Old Earth Tech - Redux

If you enjoy my mods and want to support my work, please donate here. :)[buymeacoffee.com]

Per his description:

"Old Earth Tech is meant to bridge the technological and production gap in the base version of Stranded: Alien Dawn. I understand that the lore of the game has instructions and recipes to jump immediately into more "modern" technologies, but I feel that misses something important.

Even when you know how to make something, you might lack the materials or tools to do so. Often you'd lack the basic tools needed to create the end product, and even when you have those tools and materials, you probably don't have a large or steady supply of them.

So I decided to remedy this honest oversight in the pursuit of a straightforward gaming experience. Of course, I did so by making things more complex and interactive with each other."
