Schemasoft [low-tier] is a lower cost head exclusive cybernetic which grants the user access to a variety of schematics depending on the individual implant's catagory. There are 8 different types in total each with their own list of provided item and mod schematics.

While the user is given access to the schematics in the tinkering menu, they will still need the appropriate tinkering skill in order to actually tinker any of the artifacts/items. However, this does not apply to provided mods allowing for immediate modification upon installation assuming the user has the needed bits. Generally, the provided schematics will be associated with one or more tiers of the tinkering skill with higher-tier schemasofts having more extensive selections.

In other words, Schemasoft [low-tier] would primarily grant blueprints that can be unlocked with the tinker I skill, and schemasoft (mid-tier) would include schematics from both tinker I and tinker II with schemasoft (high-tier) having schematics from all three tiers of tinker.
