Special thanks to [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198014977218/myworkshopfiles/?appid=573090] Alistair [/url] for running such a fun challenge and also the great folks on his discord server.
All Lua is the work of ChatGPT and several hours of frustration and keyboard banging. All other MCs are my own work (I hope). Use anything you find on the ship if you like it, no need to ask.
