Anomaly G.A.M.M.A. Militarized Loadouts (Patch 1.0) addon

PATCH 1.0 RELEASE! All changes are in bold italics.

This mod is based off the concept that joining a well-off faction would either entail them equipping you with the basic means to carry out their objectives, or that in order for you to join, they would have required that you are already possess appropriate gear. Lone stalkers or members of poorer factions will have to grind more to get ahead, making your starting faction more of a serious choice in regard to how your game will play out. These tweaks are designed for the highest progression difficulty, but if you want good equipment for an easier start, that's possible with the lower levels.

This mod changes the following aspects of starting loadouts, in order of significance. No changes are made to any other part of the game.

-Adds a small number of mid-tier, NATO or Warsaw appropriate new items to the starting loadouts of more organized/militaristic factions

-Starting Points have been adjusted to 1900->1500->1250 (in order of lowest to highest progression difficulty).

-Adds rations and some basic meds to more organized/militaristic faction starts

-Adds or removes a lore-friendly amount of starting money per faction

-Adds a slightly higher amount of Ammo for most types, equivalent to a standard box of ammunition for Pistols, or two standard magazines for Rifles. Decreased Heavy Rifle Round Count.

-Balances some item costs to fit their value proportional to the items added, this affects all factions with this gear.

Nothing from the original loadouts was removed, I found Grok's starts appropriate for the less organized / less equipped factions. For that reason, none of the shared items across loadouts have been removed, and none were added either. (Patch 1.0 has added the CZ-75, Cloth Masks and Balaclavas to all factions). The items added to the factions are detailed below. The equipment additions are available at all of the progression levels. Any progression-based equipment tiers originally present in G.A.M.M.A. remain, with the exception of Monolith's high tier equipment now being available at the higher difficulties.

{Forgive the category, it was the closest thing available}

It's annoying when someone uploads a mod with the attitude of "changed some stuff, figure out what yourself, here are some vague hints". That's why I did my best to document everything I have changed here for you to be able to adjust it to your personal tastes, detect any possible conflicts, and share it without losing it's context and purpose.

For that reason, if you have noticed any issues with the mod, incorrect documentation at any level, spelling mistakes, or feel something here is confusing or misleading, please message me on Moddb or on Discord (available in my bio)

Feel free to change, re-upload, and add to larger mods without credit (although it's appreciated if you do give credit)

Suggestions for expansion, balance, or similar tweaks are welcome! Please leave those in the comments. I plan to keep this mod updated for future patches and engage with any edits and suggestions the community may have. I want this mod to be as lore-friendly as possible, so if you feel a faction should have different gear (within balance) please also let me know which faction and what gear.
