Estrogen Factory
Renames science packs to follow the biochemically accurate estrogen biosynthesis pathway. Starting from Acetate, progress through the Mevalonate pathway to Cholesterol, then through steroidogenesis to reach Estradiol. The same journey your body takes to produce estrogen.
This is a cosmetic mod - only names, descriptions, and icons are changed. All recipes and gameplay remain unchanged.
