There is some unintended interaction between this mod and QoL Enhancements - all the blueprints and crafting recipes are also visible in the Smuggling operation, would it be possible to fix this? Right now I just turn off QoL as I don't actually use any blueprints and don't want such a long list when using this Op. Also, a big Thank You for this mod, it certainly makes the diamonds valuable, especially as Bobby Ray's is so limited!
It not only helps greatly to get some good stuff in 100% quality, I had a lot of fun reading the the descriptions which match very well the JA 3 esthetics.
This seems like a reasonable mod to take the sting out of the the RNG lottery for equipment.
Can you buy tools from the smugglers or is it weapons only? I ask because I've been playing for 140 hours and found only 4 lockpicks in the whole game, lol.
Not all tools but yes lockpicks are in there, I'm always drowning in crowbars and wirecutters but I think the only lockpicks I've ever gotten were from merc hires or something along those lines.
I finally got around to trying this mod out. It meshes really well with the game thematically and allows you to take some of the RNG sting out of loot drops (like the fecking lockpicks in my current game!). You could even add a tier of items that require large diamonds, those seem to be pretty rare. I expect folks will probably make more "economy' mods based on the gems and artifacts.
I'm in the late stages of the game and I just found my fifth set of lockpicks by talking to some rando, unnamed NPC; now I can get more when I need them. I kinda miss Bobby Ray's from JA2, but I also like the scrounging and limited item availability, it reminds me a little of the "Arulco Revisited" mod for JA2.
So, anyway, thank you for this mod, I'm enjoying the lockpicks.:D
