Survival: First Chapter

                                                   --------------------------------------------------

Full-fledged scenarios starring new characters, with a few gameplay changes making the game less forgiving overall. All new characters are playable in both default and custom scenarios.

                                                   --------------------------------------------------



- Up to six characters at a time in your shelter instead of four, making the decision to accept more people less obvious. You still have the choice to play as usual, refusing anyone else.

- The game doesn't tell you exactly what can be find at each location; you have to keep track of the things you leave behind (percentage of items left is still there to guide you).

- Crafting high quality meds requires more med ingredients in an effort to make them more valuable. Single cooked meal requires less water to make it a bit more useful.

- Franko the door-to-door trader does not come so frequently and won't carry so much valuables, like food or medicines, to encourage trading with other NPCs.

- New 'Survival' scenarios, with harsh starting conditions, colder winter and more frequent attacks: 

       - Liam, Katia and Anton: Early extreme winter, brutal outbreak. War ends in five to six weeks.
       - Zlata, Arica and Kalina: Early outbreak, long and harsh winter. Lasts four to five weeks.

 Both scenario have been designed from the ground up and are significantly harder than the default scenarios, without being unfair. The second one is much "tamer", but can still be a challenge.

- Alternate "Second Chapter" scenarios with different starting characters and events: 

       - Liam, Marin: Winter only, cold waves and heavy conflict. War ends in five to six weeks.
       - Julian (solo): Empty shelter, harsh winter and extreme conflict. Lasts five to six weeks.

 These scenarios are very challenging, more than in "Survival: Second Chapter", and are not recommended for a first playthrough. Both don't have a specific set of locations for replay value.

- Other scenarios are not affected and are all unlocked from the start to give you the possibility to play the story you want, even a custom one, and still get all the changes done in this mod.

 - Anniversary Edition's new locations are available by default. They are picked randomly, same way as they were before.

 - And a few other changes, like dwellers recovering less easily from exhaustion/depression and being more affected for killing soldiers, visitors giving less rewards, and the heater needing to be upgraded first before making another. Check this thread for a list of all features.



 - New playable characters: Alternate faces and names for Marko, Pavle, Bruno, and Roman, alternate portraits for Katia, Iskra, and Ivano, new pictures for them on the selection screen, and 19 new custom portraits, replacing existing ones (optional pack).

 They are featured in the new 'Survival' scenarios, and are also available to play in every other they are in, might that be the default ones or a custom one you made.

 - Cleaner portraits overall: Fixed contrast, removed "old photo" effects like black ink drops and cracks on most portraits and tuned down the in-game effect. Comparison: imgur.com/a/EgKUkFb

 - New endings events: All quests have one, and they all appear more consistently than before.

 - Fixed quite a few typos/errors found in the game (English only).
