Material cost option mod
Re: Material cost option mod
Probably possible considering that some mods check for recipes of the base game and overwrite some values, e.g. DyTech with its Stone Gears (gah I hate em at times).
BUT - just multiplying without consideration of stack sizes, e,g, a limited amount a stack can have, liek 64 of an item, will lead to situations where you just can not produce some stuff in factories any more.
So, to go along with the idea it would be best to also increase the stack size by the same value for starters, main concern would be how this will work with varying mods and how imbalanced it might end up. For the Map generation screen I haven't seen anything except ore generation, so I am not sure if this can be implemented by LUA editing/hacking or if actually a C++ code is in the backyard that would need change.
