Hello loners !

Mods Compatible with the 1. 5. 3 patch !

Purpose

The game is in general correctly balanced but there are some very weird aspects.

I created these small mods which improves the overall gameplay (for me at least) to be more logical and balanced.

Available in a full collection or modular download options.

These are my first mods, and are probably not perfect, thank you :)

Modular Mods (choose what you want to install)

"Collection" : All the mods.

Contains 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 7 +8.

1) No spongy mutants mod :

-Less armor on nearly every mutant.

-Headshot damage augmented.

2) Durability modified by reduced tear WITH Upgrades cost reduction (2 and 2Bis are obviously incompatible!) :

-Weapons are WAY more resistant > fewer visits to the technician - your coupons account will thank me. No more red weapon after 5 clips of ammo.

-Armor durability unnerfed.

-Every upgrade costs ~50% of the older veteran prices.

2Bis)  Durability modified by reduced tear WITHOUT Upgrades cost reduction (2 and 2Bis are obviously incompatible!):

-Weapons are WAY more resistant > fewer visits to the technician - your coupons account will thank me. No more red weapon after 5 clips of ammo.

-Armor durability unnerfed.

3) Durability upgraded for looted weapons :

-No more red weapons (which never jam) on enemies corpses.

-Traders buy now damaged weapons and armors but not broken ones (1% or better).

4) Healing and consumables are modified (Warning : is contained into the artifacts mod, don't install both !):

-Weight adjusted.

-Values shown in place of effects.-Food nearly don't insta heal anymore but very slowly and for a small amount.

-Bandages don't heal anymore.

-Medkits have all their use case now and heal slowly - basic > half heal and slow - army > full heal and a bit faster + longer bleeding effect - scientific > lot of healing for sustained fights + increased anti rad and anti bleeding duration and effect.

-Water and Energetic have a longer duration and increased effect.

-Drugs last longer - they were nearly useless.

-Not a consumable but lowered stamina malus in water (nope can't change slowness sorry).

5) Crates and boxes are now empty :

-Previous stalkers looted it before you ! No more loots in them at all.

Stashes are unaffected, only the brown/green wooden crates, green ammo boxes an
