This optional patch overrides the original recipes in Outpost Botanics & Utilities. Instead of credits, recipes use manufactured, inorganic, and organic resources. Additionally, most items have new requirements involving research project completion, skills, or both. Note: Outpost Engineering Rank 4 reduces recipe resource costs by 50%.
