Introduction

In NMS, you always have items in your inventory and they could be of 3 types : Products, Substances and Technology.
Technologies are modules that will improve your stats in one or several ways.
METADATA/REALITY/TABLES/NMS_REALITY_GCTECHNOLOGYTABLE.MBIN stores all the settings of technology modules.
