The mod improves 3 aspects of the game: 1) Fewer items drop. 2) Artifacts without duplicates. 3) Rebalance medicine. Also rebalanced food. I plan to add new changes in the future.
The main goal of the mod is to make the game a little more difficult, but without fanaticism. When you have a limited amount of ammo and of the consumable items, you will have to plan your raids more carefully. Without good tactical medicine, some combat missions will become more difficult. And a new set of artifacts will help you balance all this, so I hope this mod will help you enjoy this legendary and wonderful game again. See you in the zone, Stalkers!
1) Fewer items drop.
Playing on the veteran difficulty, I collected more than 1000+ bandages and more than 1000+ first aid kits. I thought it was too much. That’s why I try to make sure that consumable items are in short supply, so that they have to be bought from traders. This is the first version of my mod, so I’m not sure that I will be able to do everything as I want right away, so play my mod and leave feedback, and if you know which files need to be edited to make specific changes, then write it in the comments as well.
2) Artifacts without duplicates.
Many artifacts have similar properties. Because of this, you use several artifacts throughout the game. I changed the properties of the artifacts so that each one was unique and not repeated.
3) Rebalance medicine.
In the vanilla version of the game, the red first aid kit was too good, the blue and yellow first aid kits were losing their relevance and were only good for sale. I don’t think it’s fair to the blue and yellow ones, because they also have rights and every first aid kit wants to be used. So I changed it 🙂 The red first aid kit treats worse and longer. The blue one is average. Yellow is the best. The red first aid kit is better suited for quiet treatment in a safe place, and the yellow one works well even in a very difficult and dynamic situation. The bandage doesn’t heal at all now, sometimes you may need two bandages to stop the bleeding completely.
Miscellaneous:
I also rebalanced food and some other items. You can read all the changes in the patch notes below.
