Hello,

first of all: Thank you for this modification!

In this thread I would like to discuss improvements for the exploration of POIs.

Reason
- In my current playthrough, I have noticed that certain infantry weapon values and medicine, as well as enemies in certain constellations, make the solo exploration of POIs unnecessarily difficult and reduce the fun of the game.

What I am talking about?

• Values that do not make sense
  
• Jumpscares of enemies / unreasonable spawns / Predictability

Values that do not make sense
We are a weapon-trained soldier of a combat unit. Why doesn't it feel like it? Why does it take 2.5 seconds to change the clip of an assault rifle? (especially in a Sci-Fi universe, where weapon development should be even more advanced)? Especially in situations with "jumpscare" spawns of multiple enemies, at least I often get into trouble because of the too long reload times.
Some suggestions to tackle this:

• Generally reduce reload times
  
• Create Boosters, which reduces reload times (if possible)
  
• Create specialiced Weapon upgrades (T3 or so) with bigger clip size and/or lower reload times

While I am reloading I try to flee - depending on the enemy I get some minor wounds or infections. After administering medicine, however, it often happens that I am caught directly by exactly the same infection again.
Suggestion: Give the player temporary immunity against parasites/infections/etc. for a short time after administering a shot. (For example 30s) I mean - the contents of the syringe are still fresh in the bloodstream after all.


Jumpscares of enemies / unreasonable spawns / Predictability
I know that this modification only affects POIs in a small way. However, inappropriate spawns are a real fun killer for me. And maybe you can do something about it with your mod?
What exactly do I mean?
When exploring an alien facility, it's only natural to be cautious. There could be something lurking everywhere. In this regard, I like most of the original Zirax bases - Here, all spawn points are marked and usually destructible. This makes the enemies predictable within certain limits.
Some institutions, however, make it a point to be "unfair" in some places. (For example, "Abandoned Depot" just before the core).
For one thing, the spawn points here are not recognisable - so they cannot be destroyed without using lots of explosives or the like and aiming randomly. For another, some spawns are also unreasonable in what and how much they spawn. If three "watchers" suddenly appear from what appears to be an air shaft (1 block in size), this is simply not logical. A creature that large cannot move that fast - if at all - in such a confined space.
From my point of view, this is bad level design.

What would I wish for?

• As far as possible: Make most of the spawn points visible + destructible as far as technically possible. (Texture override?) The Player should have the possibility to block opponents.
  
• For your own structures: Think about when spawns happen.
  For most spawns, predictability should be a basic rule. Alternatively, the enemies should be there from the beginning. Only in very few exceptions should "jumpscares" be allowed (spawns directly next to the player). Every other NPC spawn should always be logical explainable (where did he come from?)

In my opinion, there is a fine line between improving the difficulty and simple unfairness regarding POIs.

Thanks for your time!
