DarkStar - Watchtower Patch

WARNING - DO NOT PUT WATCHTOWER GEAR IN THE CODEX PROCESSOR

Some work will need to be done in DarkStar itself to support this. You won't need to do this to extract the Runner's Codex, those can be constructed directly in the Legendary workbech once you have reached the appropriate quest step.

This mod is an INTEGRATION PATCH. Both of these mods work just fine side by side without this patch. What this mod accomplishes is full integration between the original and DarkStar, so that the original's assets can take full advantage of DarkStar's features. If you are seeking an achievement friendly playthrough, you can safely use the original mods together without issue. However, if you want to experience the original mod alongside DarkStar's entire featureset and gain access to the special features provided by this integration patch, then you will, of course, need this integration patch installed. Usage of this patch is entirely optional, and at the discretion of each individual player.

This patch requires two Creations:

• DarkStar
• Watchtower

Patch Changes:

• Watchtower ship parts unlock at DarkStar shipbuilders when they unlock at Gren
• Watchtower armor can be Enhanced to Mk.II at DarkStar Armor Enhancement benches
• Watchtower weapons can be Enhanced to Mk.II and Mk.III at DarkStar Weapon Enhancement/Vile benches
• Watchtower NPCs, both human and robotic, benefit from DarkStar player-based leveling. Good luck with those mechs!
• Cyberamps can be enhanced to Mk.II at the new DarkStar Cyberamp Enhancement bench. The bench is craftable under the Apparel tab, once you have completed the necessary Research, which requires unlocking ALL cyberamps at the Doctor.
• Bonus canon DarkStar lore from author WykkydGaming!

Version 1.00 known issues:

• Ships will not benefit from DarkStar levelling. This will be added in the future when some updates are made to DarkStar to facilitate it.
• The Codex Processor will eat Harper's unique Legendary without producing a codex. You can construct the codex at the Legendary workbench after reaching the appropriate quest step. This will be added in the future when some updates are made to DarkStar to facilitate it.
• Skydrops may behave somewhat differently when PCs and NPCs are highly levelled. They still do their jobs though.
