[DEVBLOG#135] Relics, Artifacts and more amazing things you can find! (Patreon)

Hello everyone and welcome to the next development blog, this time focusing on our new upcoming mod called Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Relics and Artifacts.

It's quite a simple mod that adds more inert relics, as in, more variants of the 'useless junk' items that you find for your ideology. You know the chalices, shards, cubes etc?

Well there is now more of that. 40 more. I know, that's quite a lot.

Designing these was awfully easy, but it did take some time to do research into what potential relics we could add. I searched the internet far and wide, looking for various religious symbols - skulls, bones, shrouds, books etc.

Other relics are more rim-worldish, such as old engine parts, mechanoid heads, things like that should definitely add to the storytelling of your ideology.

I also made sure to include some cool little nods to other mods in the form of relics too. You can now see stacks inspired by Helixien's Altered Carbon mod, or a medallion with a wolf head from the Witcher, or hell, even an Apple of Eden from Assassins Creed series.

All in all, the mod adds plenty of new relics, but also unlocks apparel and armor - as it was weird to me that a gun can be a relic, but a piece of plate armor can't.

Next up we will probably go through the hats and rags module!

Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Relics and Artifacts will release after the weekend.
