Bandwidth Implant

Description
Adds recipes for bandwidth increasing mechinator implants. They function similarly to the default mechinator implants, with higher tiers being unlocked by implanting all previous tier implants.

Tier 1 - Standard bandwidth sublink
+2 bandwidth, x3 for +6
Requires:
- 1x signal chip (tier 1 boss drop)
- 4x component
Crafting Skill 6

Tier 2 - High bandwidth sublink
+4 bandwidth, x3 for +12
(Need 3x tier 1 implants)
Requires:
- 1x powerfocus chip (tier 2 boss drop)
- 3x component
- 3x advanced component
Crafting Skill 6

Tier 3 - Ultra bandwidth sublink
+6 bandwidth, x3 for +18
(Need 3x tier 1 implants, 3x tier 2 implants)
Requires:
- 1x nano structuring chip (tier 3 boss drop)
- 6x advanced component
Crafting Skill 6

Tier 1 - Archotech bandwidth sublink
+2 bandwidth each, max level of 100
(Need 3x tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 implants)
Requires:
- 1x signal chip
- 1x powerfocus chip
- 1x nano structuring chip
- 10x advanced component
Crafting Skill 6

Modifies bandwidth by changing the base value imparted by the mechlink, so no idea how it will interact with other mods that might affect bandwidth.

Ah, I understand what you're asking. The base mechlink is still set to +6, but the implementation of the implants changes that base value every time a new implant is inserted. So if you have something like the gene from vanilla expanded androids that gives mechlink natively it may conflict.

Ah. I think you've misunderstood me, or I've misunderstood your description.
"Modifies bandwidth by changing the base value imparted by the mechlink, so no idea how it will interact with other mods that might affect bandwidth."
- Your description.
"So they've changed how much bandwidth you get from just having a mechlink? Why? I like my mechlinks as they are. 6 feels like a reasonable amount. This seems like a stinky nerf to force the player to get the sublinks."
- My brain.

6 + 12 + 18 = 36 bandwidth from 9 sublinks. +2 bandwidth per sublink past that.
The image shows 55 max bandwidth from 14 sublinks.
14 - 9 = 5
55 - 36 = 16
5 x 2 = 10
16 - 10 = 6.
6 is the base amount of bandwidth a mechlink gives in basegame. The base value of bandwidth imparted by the mechlink hasn't been changed... or I suck at maths.... so I still don't know what "base value imparted by the mechlink" is.

It's specified in the description. The first tier adds +2 each (3 times), second adds +4 each (3 times), third adds +6 each (3 times), after that you can add 91 more +2, but it takes some effort.

By how much? The base amount from a mechlink is 6.
