The stand-alone mod S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly aims to be the most stable and customizable experience for fans of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. It's powered by the Monolith 64-bit engine, a custom fork of the X-Ray engine.
All UI that deals with items are reworked to use inventory cell system, in a similar way to player's inventory UI. Much easier to deal with than old lists.
Cooking system has been reworked to use simple recipes, allowing the player to improve the quality and stats of their meals.
Great that you're expanding the cooking & crafting section of the mod. That and companion inventory management were a bit improvised before, though still nice.
