I decided to modify a couple of things.
Essentially, when Nimhe crafts a new shell or upgrades parts, there's now an associated Nano materials cost (100 and 25 per upgraded part). Also, when using the 'Boost IQ' option (not to be confused with IQ booster addons), 75 bio is consumed. Shell upgrades no longer require a bot parts crate (cost of crate subsumed into cost to build shell), but since I wanted to have nano pods be useful for something else... As for the IQ boost bio cost, this seemed like a simple way to 'balance' this upgrade a tiny bit.
I suppose that I could have 'Boost IQ' also consume an IQ booster addon along with an AI core (to help keep IQ boost addons relevant), but that'll have to wait for a future update maybe. I'll ponder this for a bit.
Note that I already incorporated a Bio materials cost for cortex upgrades in previous versions of my mod, so the IQ boost bio mat cost is in keeping with this concept.
Also, to help reduce confusion when picking bots in the new Arcade Bot Viewer screen, I added numbers to the slots so that you can more easily identify where you are 'in the list' of the Arcade bots. I also added a 'Retrieve' button to this screen, so that you can remove the currently selected bot from the arcade while in this screen (works the same as the 'Arcade Manager' screen).

This is particularly helpful if you are keeping track of which shells are in the Arcade Bot lineup, i.e. trying to maintain a variety of bot shells in your lineup for income bonus purposes.
I also forgot to include a tweaked scene in 1.20c, so it's included now. Essentially, Nimhe, T'ris, Khelara and Vee will be standing around in your cabin during a particular conversation that pops up later in the game. No changes to the scene itself, I just like looking at nekkid chicks!
Assuming no issues, I'll update the OP with Version 1.2d within the next day or so. Let me know if y'all find any issues!
Feedback is always appreciated!
where do we do this one?
