Have you checked how it behaves with:

Marvin's ugh you got me

Marvin's combat readiness

Medical system expansion (series)

Ugh you got me -- about pawn social fights, which is kinda combat but less-so, likely won't be included in this collection as it's goal is to be focused on raider combat

Combat Readiness -- I'll throw it in the "more combat mods" list. I use it personally, but it can drastically change how raids occur so I'll leave it as a side-suggestion

MSE -- no bionics mods will be included in this collection as they're generally not save friendly


Thanks for the suggestions though Lecris and Paladin, I'll be looking into them.

I am about to try some of these out. Thanks!

I have some more that may or may not fit in. I've been playing with all of these for at least a few weeks. A lot of them are just about weapon/armor quality and pawn skill having more of an effect on combat. I'm sure some are stupidly obvious and you've heard of, but whatever -- including them anyway for completeness-sake:

Not sure if this collection will go to 1.1 (even though most mods are updated now), but I really like faction resources and enemy self preservation:

Less suicidal humanoids are... immersive. Difficulty can always be increased, and mechanoids should be OP anyway.

Also, I'm not a fan of Ammunition's new wearable magazine system. If I wanted to micro loadouts, I'd run CE :P

I'll probably mark those two down as honorable mentions.

They have potential to greatly effect raids and combat. Personally I'm not a fan of the retreating idea, as that would make AI too easy to cheese with damage values the way they are in DocPawnOverhaul.

This is true. I'm justifying it in my current run with the "tech backgrounds" mod (captured tribal/industrial colonists are less useful) and a storyteller that spawns raid clusters, but its a vicious combo with Yayo and DocPawnOverhaul.


It'd be nice if NPC Bonus could straight up buff tribal and industrial raid budgets.

I recommend this mod. it very good to combination with you mod.
