G.F.A.R. - Re-usable Grapple

Suggestion: Rename The Engram?
Hi!

Love the mod, the only thing I can think of that would make it better is if it was more searchable. I've had quite a few players come onto the server now who are unable to find the engram and I have to tell them to search for g.f.a.r. If you could search for it with terms like grapple/grappling/hook/reusable then so many more people would be able to find it.

I've had several people say it was difficult for people to search for. I may end up chaning it to "G.F.A.R. (Grapple)" or similar, though input on an actual name adjustment would help.

I really wish the Devs would add a "search tags" or similar feature so I could avoid the issue entirely.


Bit of background on this:

I had this mod set up before they actually added in searching in the Learn Engram list, and I figured anyone using the mod would search for the name once it was added in.

I never really thought about it ending up on servers were people auto-download it and didn't know where to find it.

The crafting engram is located in the same place as the crossbow though so I assumed people would find it fairly easily after learning it even if they forgot the name.

Extra note, the item itself when held displays "G.F.A.R. (grapple)" the "(grapple)" section is actually the ammo and I couldn't get it to remove that text or it would have looked the same but have been searchable with "grapple"

Maybe just "G.F.A.R Grapple"? Kind of sounds like some special grapple then, which it is. The G.F.A.R Grapple, "Yo have you heard of the G.F.A.R Grapple?" "Yeah dude I heard it's reusable" "No way!".

The only issue with that or the opposite side is that the G stands for grapple >.>
