Starting Point Buy
Starting Point Buy (mod ID: spb) provides a data-driven starting-point allocation screen. Modpack authors define professions, talents, attributes and drawbacks in JSON. Players choose a preset in the narrow left sidebar, adjust options on the right, and confirm once all rules pass.
The mod contains no built-in professions, currencies or balance values. Resources, formulas, conditions, abilities and actions use Saturn. Plans support multiple resources, single choice, multiple choice, repeated purchases, and choices that change other prices or quantity limits.
This mod is built on Saturn: types such as resources, formulas, conditions, abilities and actions are provided by Saturn.
