Research Papers

Produce research papers from your research projects. Keep them safe or risk losing research! Your library becomes the brain of your colony.

This idea has been on my mind for years, and finally got around to it! :)

It's a relatively lightweight overhaul, you don't need to modify your playstyle heavily. For example, there's no need to craft paper, and there's no need for your each of your pawns to individually learn the research. You just get to make ever-expanding libraries.

Features:

• Pawns produce a research paper when they finish a research project or a schematic.

• Papers hold the knowledge of the research project and can be stored in a bookshelf.

• Keep papers safe inside a library, or risk losing research to raiders and the elements!

• Yes indeed, you'll be able to lose research! The game will notify you if it happens.

Existing saves:

• Adding to an existing save will drop a research paper for each completed research project.

• Removing mods from an existing save is never recommended, but seems to work after giving a one-time error.

Note: For these types of overhaul mods it's impossible to predict all edge cases, but it's been stable for us with over 500 active mods. Let us know if there's any issues, and please send logs and other relevant info! There could potentially be mean conflicts with other research-modifying mods. Don't play commitment, keep back-up saves in case something goes wrong.
