[XCL] [Supseded] Machine Breakdown Mod

---

Incorporated within the BR Pill Mod.

 

Adds an option where sometimes the New U Machine at the mall breaks down with varying likelihoods. When it does that might affect supply and price of pills at the pharmacy. If the reliable option is chosen then there will be no change to the game.

 

Should not conflict with any other mods. Has some slight additional content if installed with McLurkington's Pharmacist Deals Mod.

 

At the moment in the mod, after the first week, if the unreliable option is chosen, there is a 10%/25%/50% chance per day that the New U machine will break down, forcing the character to consider other options. If the machine breaks it will stay broken until Friday when there will be a 75% chance it will be fixed - there will then again be a 10%/25%/50% chance per day that the machine will break down again. I would welcome any feedback. If you change the mod options they should take effect the next day.

Love this mod idea!

I'm kinda still wrapping my head around the machine. I tried it once to see what it does but frankly I prefer the more permanent pill option. I know you can choose to become any of the playable characters and there are risks involved, which add some thrill to the gameplay, but it seems to me that for now it lacks some deeper game loop features that would incentivise its use over pills. Financial considerations are not a factor too, because with the money you have at the start, you can buy your first pill and then just make a money whoring around in a bar. Basically between the job and blowing strangers in the evenings, money stops being a factor. Especially since once you start doing stuff for Dredd, you can basically game the system and rack up thousands from a single performance if you're patient enough and only stop once you;re bored.

 

I realise this post does not relate directly to the mod, but I hope for some more significant money sink that would make money actually matter in the long term. I probably should've posted this under regular game thread, but since I'm already here...
