Devnull and Retrofitting

[Rollo]

hmm, I never knew these values were changed. You are right Grandpa Kim, this makes little sense.
I will raise the values in the next Version of DNM. Not sure about default, though. It seems the intention of the original authors to make retrofit cheaper. So I am likely to follow the spirit of the mod and offer a discount for retrofits as well.
Speaking of retrofits, how about raising the 'Retrofit Max Percent Difference in Cost'?

If you want to make retrofitting cheaper than stock, but not make a loophole that can be exploited as much, the minimum settings I'd use are these:

Retrofit Cost Percent For Comps: 100
Retrofit Cost Percent For Comp Removal: 0
Retrofit Max Percent Difference in Cost: 50

I wouldn't make the Max Percent Diff larger - you'd lose a big part of the balancing factor (time).

Rollo, I know I see (or told about) changes in the Data after released that I never really recall consciously making, I think it is the family cat walking across the key board.

Think it happens to all of us.

Rollo, spoon, in general I like this idea, but I think there should be some sort of cost penalty to retrofit. Either "Retrofit Cost Percent For Comps: 110" or "Retrofit Cost Percent For Comp Removal 10".

On the other hand, this whole thing may be a "cat"astrophe.

Well, it is a bit different. I didn't create the mod in the first place. I just did the update for SE4 Gold together with Geoschmo and now doing the maintenance. So, I am not really aware of all the changes in DNM.
Very likely there will be more easter eggs for me and others to discover .

yeah, something like that. I was thinking 110/15 perhaps.
