GRiNDTerra Gameplay Overhaul

Objectives of this Mod and reasons you may not want to download!

GRiNDTerra Gameplay Overhaul is not a "new" experience! The objective of this mod is to help clean up load orders, unify small script/quest-based mods, and just an all-around easier experience for everyone involved!

All mods included will still be maintained, just won't be receiving new content as they are all complete experiences. They will not receive any of the new updates or content that is added into GRiNDTerra Gameplay Overhaul.

Going forward any new additions, ideas, and content that may be related will be going into this mod right here. This mod will require any and all DLC! I will not be making a DLC-Free version, nor will I be making an Achievement Friendly or VC version. This is my personal AiO that I use to contain mods and ideas I won't be making into smaller packages.

GRiNDTerra Hardcore Combat

Humans- 4x Headshot damage, 1.5x damage against torso. Robots- NO BONUSES Creatures- 2x Headshot damage, 1.5x damage against torso. (Terrormorphs are unique at 1.25x Headshot 0.75x Torso)

NPC AI Overhaul

Changed how NPCs level are determined vs Player level.

NPCs will prioritize using and moving through cover, suppression, and teamwork.

The difference between untrained recruits and veteran soldiers has been improved from decision making to combat abilities to feel more unique.

NPCs will better evaluate the verticality of the combat situation.

NPCs value their lives more. NPCs can and will fall back using cover and suppressive fire. (Blind fire too!)

NPCs will react to the world better around them. Explosions, dead bodies, and gunfire will now alert enemy NPCs at a farther distance than before.

NPCs have better reaction times and less idle or down time while in combat.

NPCs will use grenades more, but there is a slightly longer cooldown to reduce grenade spam.

Creature NPCs will take advantage of better strategies. Flyers prefer to stay flying, and melee creatures will use different types of strategies!

NPCs will handle themselves better in Melee in all types of situations. Both offensively and defensively!

NPCs have better memories and will not give up as fast.

Makes changes to the default sandboxing behavior to help NPCs seem livelier.

Increases the default radius and height that NPCs will search and engage in sandboxing activities.

NPC Combat dialogue has a longer cooldown.
