I appreciate the responses. I suppose I'll just have to wait and see when it eventually comes out and see if it interacts with my groups playstyle.

I think this is a bit of a misunderstanding. So let me try and clarify or learn as best as I can. I understand that they will still be able to haul back the magazines to a base. But reading the confirmed features makes it sound like if the looters do not put perk points into what the crafter would need (tools, weapons, armor class, or other) they have a much less chance of getting those magazines. Which would cripple the crafters ability to craft what was in those magazines and almost force that crafter to loot with others to have a better chance of finding the mags that they would need. And I want to be able to play the newest versions of course. The new water stuff and new pois alone is an absolutely to die for thing. Relying on mods to do a game devs job should always be a last resort thing and typically for more qol features then entire core mechanics.

This IS the issue. Those people don't WANT to craft. They want to be out in the world exploring, looting, or killing. Whereas I WANT to craft, mine, and build, but now am being forced to go out and loot for the magazines that scale with how many magazines I have. Especially since the magazines ONLY effect crafting and not how effective those tools, weapons, armor are. It's a lose-lose for everyone involved.

Most of the time when at least I play in a group each player has certain tasks or jobs. Some people are looters who speedrun through quests and pois to get as much stuff as they can fit in their pockets. Some people are fighters who typically would tag along the speedrunners and just kill anything in that said speedrunners way (or being a mule for things they can't carry). Some people like to avoid looting and fighting all together and mine resources. Some people like to build epic mansions or underground bunkers. And some people like to craft. Having this new mag system completely removes MULTIPLE ways of playing the game. Crafting, building, and mining will be almost completely irrelevant if I need to not only find magazines, but have to go out of my way to loot to find MORE of those said magazines. Instead of having a dedicated looter have a (smaller) chance of finding ANY book, recipe, schematic, but lets ME play how I want to play. Not forcing me to play how YOU may play the game. Now the only way ANOYONE will be able to play is to loot for yourself... I LOVE the idea of going back to a "use to learn" based system. Rewarding ALL playstyles. Speedrunners get looting, lockpicking, storage, and athletics. Fighters get weapon and armor skills. Miners get tool based skills. Builders wouldn't get too much but maybe crafting and storage skills? And crafters would get, well, crafting skills. This implementation is absolutely atrocious and I will refuse to play it until mods revert it, or its changed back to at least a20 system.

I recently read through the patch notes for A20 and it looks like the patching software that DMT uses (HarmonyX) is going to be shipping with the new alpha. Which may or may not be able to completely remove the necessity of using DMT. IF it does, and it is possible, would there be any chance to update the mods for that "new" system?

Thats unfortunate, but I understand. I'll have to find something else or hope the devs just make this default (the electrical system really is lacking xD). Thanks for the response though!

Is there any chance that this could be made into a drag and drop, mod folder mod, instead of using a third party mod manager and uploaded to something like nexusmods for a more user friendly experience. The mod itself looks like a dream. Just installing it would be a pain. Especially if you are trying to set up a modded multiplayer (non-dedicated) world with less tech-savy friends.
