Description:
PRE-DESCRIPTION DISCLAIMER: YOU MUST HAVE ALL OF THE LISTED ITEMS UNDER "REQUIRED ITEMS"
You should NOT be using ANY other compatibility patches between the mods listed as prerequisites, as that is what this mod does.

Technologies are nice, they’re what make nations tick and what sets apart Generics from Unique Nations. Many people have come together over the years and created expansions to various technologies and equipment that expands this facet of Old World Blues… but because of it being a multi-person work, they don’t exactly play nicely with each other.

This is where UTCM comes in, reworking and patching together "Roads and Rail", "Tech Expansion", "Tech Tree Rework", and "Power Armor Rework" to all be compatible with one another, as well as fully integrating the abandoned OWB: Robots Reworked into the same tech ecosystem. To rephrase: you should NOT use Robots Reworked if you have UTCM, as it WILL conflict.

Since it’s been wrongly assumed multiple times now, in other words:

No matter how out-of-date the prerequisite mods are, this mod makes it so they work with modern-day OWB

It does this by merging any and all changes from the prerequisite mods into a single, "Foundational" mod, UTCM, and overwrites any extraneous files with blank slates that can’t affect the game. This is also how many of UTCM’s patches work, by making UTCM overwrite any changes and moving them to a unique file in each UTCM patch.

For a full description of the various effects of this mod, see The Discussion Forum Post

To get the most out of Power Armor and the Robots Reworked aspects of this mod, you will need to have the No Step Back DLC, however it’s not a hard requirement.
