Utility Item Enhancement

This mod adds new inventory items to the game that can be upgraded in stages and provide better bonuses.

After the corresponding research, rank 1 becomes available.

To upgrade the items, some requirements must be met:

– Corresponding research is finished (can be disabled)
– Corresponding corpse in stock (can be altered or disabled)
– The previous level of the item (can be disabled)
– Requires an increasing number of engineers with each rank (can be altered or disabled)

You can change the stats, costs and some of the requirements to whatever you like in the XComUtilityItemEnhancement.ini
If the stats ​​are edited, the descriptions in the corresponding localization file should also be changed. (XComGame.int/deu)

Presets for 4 different gamemodes in the "Config Presets" folder.
If you don’t want to use the default hardmode:
– Copy the ini of your choice into the "Config" folder
– Delete XComUtilityItemEnhancement.ini
– Rename your copy to XComUtilityItemEnhancement.ini
