So what is Superior Crafting?  Well, it's my vision on how a redesign of the research tree and production chain can enhance the feel of starting out alone and isolated on a new world.  With Superior Crafting, you start with minimal items you can build, and must research your way up to the more advanced items.  The production chain is also enhanced, so that crafting plays a larger role in your colonies growth.  This mod may not be for everyone.  You have to work hard to unlock the good stuff, nothing is given to you for free.  You'll also have to make hard choices as to what you want to research next.  This choice matters, and depending on the biome you start in, one technology may benefit you more than if you started somewhere else.

Please feel free to leave any comments, questions, or ideas, because without you the community this mod would not be what it is today!

- FAQ -
Question:  I want to build a furnace, but it wants to make it out of slate blocks and I don't have any and can't make any.
Answer:  If you click on the icon in the build menu, you can select what types of blocks you can build it from.  Sometimes the default selection isn't a type of block you may already have.

Question:  How do I use the training devices?
Answer:  All four training devices are mannable.  Just activate your pawn and right-click the item to direct them to man it.  They will stop using it when they are tired, hungry, or interrupted by you.
