Balanced and Immersive Belt Items
(This mod requires the experimental version of Kenshi)
This mod aims to increase the quality of 2 great mods for Kenshi:
More Belt Items v2.0 by Baby Shark

DR’s More Belt Items Expanded by DungeonRyu

As usual, you will be able to research and craft the belt items.
They also have awesome icons and proper naming.
What’s new is that the stats of the belts have been rebalanced, so the Belt of Samurai is no longer the no brainer option. You will have to decide between using the belt of Assassin, Combat, Protection and Samurai, as they are intended to be on par in terms of benefits.
Typos have been fixed and the descriptions have been rewritten to make the items more immersive. For example, Belts of Samurai have this description:
A set of heavy duty straps and belt ensuring a perfect fit for your heavy suit of armor, though now it’s even harder to properly feel your surroundings. They make a lot of noise when moving.
And the Belt of Weather Resistance:
A set of belt, straps and seals to make your armor insulate you from harsh environment. They limit movement and are noisy.
You will notice that, in some cases, less advanced versions of belts not only provide less benefits but also less penalties, so you may sometimes prefer a Light or Heavy belt instead of its Elite version.
More possibilities for viable builds is something we all want!
Update
Cut efficiency has been removed from belts.
More typos fixed.
Renamed research from "V2" to "II" etc.
While you’re here…
If you use the mod Radiant Better Faces & Eyes, it adds a not lore friendly recruit, so you may consider using my patch that removes her (Remove Kiana):
