Core Data Guide Written by www.twitch.tv/mrglrglrglrgl Graphic by I401 Iona Latest update: 7/9/2020 Welcome to the Core Data guide.  Today we will be looking at what you should be spending your precious Core Data on. Reading this guide is strongly recommended.  It will inform you what each gear does and WHY it is where it is on the priority chart.  This is important, as the Core Data shop tells you very little about what you are buying, and a lot of this gear is rather niche.
