I remember doing this way way back in the early years of this mod. I always enjoyed it as well but had to increase everything else as well so slow some things down. Then I had to edit even more for other things and it just got too much since things just got out of balance.

There was a kid that could edit almost everything....Give me a moment to look it up

Otter Editor was what I used right at the start of a new game on pause. There was a add on I believe for this too but cannot remember what it is called or if still available.

Also unsure if this would even work properly after being away from the game for quite awhile.

You can find the component and weapon costs in the scripted variable folder of /common.

Thank you very much!
