Description

This mod changes the recipes of (almost) all buildings such that they require no ingredients and are crafted incredibly fast.

Exceptions include solar panels and accumulators -- no free energy for you.

Compatibility

A handful of recipes are altered by the ingredient breakdown feature - intended to safeguard science recipes from becoming free by proxy - which may affect your builds in an ongoing game. You can disable this feature via a Startup setting if you would like to seamlessly proceed with your current savegame. Note that disabling this feature is likely to drastically reduce science costs in multiple areas.

Background

A bit of a sidegrade to another of my mods, Your Cheap Mode, which makes everything cost fewer resources to create. I found that I quite missed the rivers of material flowing throughout my base, and wound up creating this mod to enjoy the unrestricted building without resorting to playing the game in editor mode.

If you are a fan of the game shapez, or enjoy playing in editor mode but wish it didn't feel so cheaty, this mod may be exceptionally to your liking!

Quality

There is a known point of awkwardness between this mod and the quality dlc - you cannot directly craft high-quality versions of the buildings.

What you CAN do is place buildings of unwanted tiers into a recycler (quality modules recommended) to upgrade them. Similar to plastic or ores, the recycler will output the same building that you place into it.
