I don't really understand what you mean.

This:

Code: Select all

<systemBlueprint name="weapons">
   <type>weapons</type>
   <title>Weapon Control</title>
   <desc>Powers all of the ship's weapons. Upgrading lets you power more weapons.</desc>
   <startPower>4</startPower>
   <rarity>1</rarity>
   <maxPower>12</maxPower>
   <upgradeCost>
      <level>40</level> <!-- level 2 -->  <!-- CHANGED was 60-->
      <level>25</level> <!-- level 3 -->
      <level>35</level> <!-- level 4 -->
      <level>50</level> <!-- level 5 -->
      <level>75</level> <!-- level 6 -->
      <level>90</level> <!-- level 7 -->
      <level>100</level> <!-- level 8 -->
      <level>100</level> <!-- Imaginary level 9 -->
      <level>100</level> <!-- level 10 -->
      <level>100</level> <!-- level 11 -->
      <level>100</level> <!-- level 12 -->
   </upgradeCost>
   <cost>20</cost>
</systemBlueprint>

Works just fine for me, just change maxpower and add levels with price.

Works fine for me (with 12 power available for purchase, as per <maxpower>). Are you sure your file structure is good (blueprints.xml.append inside a data folder inside the archive), and your FTL is bug free, nothing crashing otherwise? Sometimes you may need to delete an old save or something. The xml is as it should be.

I don't see blueprints.xml.append only blueprints.xml

It sounds like you are trying to add the blueprint file with only that bit of code - which erases a significant part of the original game files and crashes the game. Rename the file to blueprints.xml.append, or copy the whole content of the original (better use .append). That should help.

I figured it out, I forgot to change the maxpower to 16 when I had 16 level ups availible, aswell as I forgot to put a gap at the end of the code
