Rewrite of English item descriptions for the vanilla 'junk' artifacts to make them more legible and interesting.
The item descriptions for 'junk' artifacts are probably the worst bits of text in Anomaly. They were probably translated from Russian years ago, and since then no one's bothered to update them.
This little one-file addon changes that, by rewriting the English descriptions of those artifacts. Each one was given a line or two of flavor text, based on their original descriptions, but clearer and hopefully more interesting. Their bullet-point properties have also been updated to call them 'inert artifacts', because wonders from the Zone aren't "junk" just because they can't deflect bullets!
These changes do NOT add any new properties to artifacts, or affect 'useful' artifacts that can be placed in LLMCs. It should be compatible with everything.
Personally I kinda like having a tier of valuable-but-useless artifacts that rookies can scoop up without a detector and sell for some quick cash. They all have detailed 3D models too, which is pretty cool.
Nice work! I was thinking about doing this in my item names mod, but it looks like you've already done it quite well!
Thanks mate. I'm liking your mod as well, all efforts to remove engrish and make item descriptions more interesting are appreciated.
Thank you, keep up your great work!
Nice work Stalker. Small details like this make all the difference for me. I also think innert is a way better term for these, how can something that has small anomalous properties and even precious metals in it be considered "junk"?
