Admittedly, I am not playing this mod yet. I am waiting patiently for version 5.0 -0.
This didn't stop me from messing with the RAWs though: I decided to add a little more MSPA, and what is more MSPA than useless, dated retro/self-references? Like this little... modmod? submod? Anyway:
This is GristTorrent.
This is adding a possibility to get some -
very little- grist for free, a possibility to trade away surplus grist in a gambly and unreliable manner and to get your hands on special grist- to an exorbitant price.
Most of the reactions have a rather small chance to produce anything, so it is not a cheap way to train alchemy either.
Also, Artifact Grist! Simply hillarious.
It uses boondollar boulders as a token. It should probably use something else.
