About this Mod
A simple implmentation of upgrade items for Small Ships
Items
There are three items implemented, one for each major ship attribute: speed, health, and cargo.
smallships_upgrades:speed_upgradesmallships_upgrades:health_upgradesmallships_upgrades:cargo_upgrade
To apply an upgrade, right click on a ship with it. If the ship has enough upgrade slots to
accept the upgrade, the upgrade item will be consumed and the appropriate attribute will be increased.
Note
The mod adds these items, but does not add recipes for them or add them to loot tables. You'll have to do that yourself.
