No apologies necessary, it's good to know, that way i won't feel bad about fixing it myself if not also making a couple of choice changes (like say making the Ultimate Miner give only stone and coal, since stone has more frequent use than stone bricks, and honestly in the service of giving an absolute last resort option to the player, it should give coal in preparation for emergency situations, but also because coal is a big crafting material later both in the base game, and in some mods
Or making the magical clips better by having it increase damage by probly a ton more, or a bit more, and increasing gun turret damage by some as well)
and simply uploading it as a separate mod, giving credit ofcourse, maybe i'll just patch it instead and make the book work one day, when i understand control-side modding.
