NewVanilla LEGACY Armor Tweaks v.1.3.1

In this mod I did a variety of tweaking to various armors. There were so many armors in base Kenshi that were either suboptimal, bad, overly expensive, or the same price as something completely better in every way. People argue online about what armor is "meta", because the differences between most are glaring.

Of course you can (and I still do) choose to wear different gear for roleplaying/uniform/fashion purposes, but why not make the game more suitable for options? I added pros and cons to certain armor, as well as adjusting the prices of many.

Some of the changes include:

- Small armor and stat/skill bonuses to most clothing. It's nothing too crazy, but why would anyone ever choose to wear a regular shirt or pair of pants with zero benefit?

- Rebalancing. Some gear (like the Dustcoat and Longcoat for instance) are the exact same price while being worse in many ways. Why bother with a Rusted Hive Shirt if it's nearly the same price as a regular Chain Shirt?

- Addition of armor that was previously uncraftable. Ancient Samurai armor for instance is now a blueprint found in many shops and ruins, Hack Stopper gear, etc. I also added the Padded Leather Jacket back in, hiding its blueprint in a more rare location. I need to edit the mesh to make it work with women, still.

- Complete reworking of Hiver gear to make it worth a ♥♥♥♥.

- Weather resistances adjustments/additions.

This is still a work in-progress. I would absolutely love feedback about your thoughts, experiences, etc.

UPDATE 09/08/21:

- Altered name of mod file to match other TrueVanilla mods, making it easier to see/sort them in load order.

UPDATE 3/22/22:

- Adjusted balancing and descriptions of some clothing.

- With permission from the author, minusthedrifter, clipping issues are fixed with many armors. His files are included in the mod and you can find a link to it below:

- Changes from Free the Hair mods have been integrated now. Your hair is no longer hidden while wearing most helmets. This can cause some clipping issues, but there are plenty enough as is in vanilla Kenshi that it really isn't an issue. The original mod can be found here:

UPDATE 3/23/22:

- Fixed crashing issue from a duplicate item. Thank you GeeBee and Jimeck for all your help.

- Hair is no longer enabled with visored helmet. If any other headgear is overtly broken with hair enabled, please let me know.

UPDATE 3/29/22:

- Added belt versions of Ashlander Stormgoggles, Square Goggles, Straw Hats, and Sandogasas. Their blueprints can be found in similar places to their full-size counterparts, they can be found in some shops, and some are hidden here or there in new locations/vendors.

- Fixed issues with Black Rag Shirt. Re-added the tweaked bonuses to improve them. There shouldn't be any more crashes.

- Changed something small that I forgot and will probably remember later

UPDATE 4/12/22:

- Disabled hair for multiple helmets
