🎯 Design Concept

Rings, Fishing Rods and Weapons

Have you ever found it strange that you can craft some pretty powerful items (including rings), but there are no recipes for basic glowing rings and magnetic rings? Have you ever been unlucky enough to not get a glowing ring before reaching the 30th floor of the mine, and had to fumble in the dark? Or because you are unlucky and no weapons drop, you can only take risks with low-power weapons?

These modules are designed to add balanced recipes, give you access to base items to mitigate bad luck, and provide alternative acquisition methods beyond random drops and store purchases.

Don't like Clint, hate interacting with him or supporting his business? Taking on the No Store Challenge, or just want to be more self-sufficient? Need to upgrade your watering can but can’t wait for the rainy days?

This mod adds balanced recipes for crafting base tool upgrades, giving you more options: save resources/gold and wait for Clint to upgrade, or spend more to upgrade yourself immediately? The choice is yours!

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES

Perfection Tracking

As far as I know, the perfection tracker checks all known crafting recipes and determines whether each recipe has been crafted at least once. By adding additional crafting recipes, you will need to craft these items at least once to complete this aspect of perfection.

Tool processing

Due to the way tools are coded, it is currently not possible to consume tools in crafting recipes to "upgrade" them, nor to destroy existing tool instances. It's theoretically possible (although unlikely) to soft-lock the game by filling it with tools that can't be discarded, so craft tools with caution!

🔗 Compatibility

This mod is natively compatible with Better Crafting (crafting interface overhaul).
