A very lightweight mod that adds research, a studiable item, and recipes for gravcores and mechanoid chips - craftable at the Fabrication bench after 'beating' Odyssey.
Github[github.com]
The purpose of the mod is to un-softlock Mechanitor and Gravcores for general use following the completion of the final Gravship quest.
Consequently, the recipes, particularly mech chips, are deliberately prohibitive. The idea is to 're-enable' accessing these items reasonably, compared to the effort previously required - i.e. hitting Odyssey sites or calling mechanoid bosses to farm chips.
The research requires studying an item - the 'blueprint' - that is only found in the final area of Odyssey's DLC, and the completion of Advanced Gravtech research. Biotech is not required, but will only add mech chips if it's loaded.

Compatibility
- Biotech DLC - Loads mech chips in as research/recipes, otherwise only Gravcore will be loaded.
- Alpha Mechs - tier 4, 5 and 6 chips included as further research/recipes in the series, if the mod is loaded alongside Biotech DLC (see recipes for more details)
- Recipes of the Rim - Gravcore and Biotech chip recipes will appear in the RotR research tab (if using vanilla research tabs, of course). AM chip research remain in AM tab.

FAQ
Q: I don't like the recipe ingredients, please change them?
A: No lol. But you can add RIMMSqol - it should be part of everyone's modlist anyway - open the mod settings, navigate to Recipes, search for recipes from this mod, and do whatever you want to them.
Q: I accidentally lost the study item/already done the quest before adding this mod!
A: Use devmode to spawn the blueprint, as you've 'earned' it and there is no other intended way to get it.
Q: Will you patch other items/recipes in?
A: Probably not, unless there's some other popular mechanoid chips mod, or Ludeon add more of this stuff, or whatever. I made another recipes mod (see compatibility above) and scope for any other recipes is likely for that mod.
Q: something something VGE
A: I haven't played it yet, so I don't know what to change/compat, if anything at all. Let me know below if I should look into it
