MOD FEATURES
VANILLA PROJECTS
The following vanilla projects have been modified:
  • Skulljack
  • E.X.O. Suit
  • Spider Suit
  • W.A.R. Suit
  • Wraith Suit
These projects are no longer repeatable in the Proving Ground and they no longer reward an item. Instead, they will unlock their respective items in the Engineering Bay.

The following vanilla projects have been disabled:
  • Experimental Ammo
  • Experimental Armor
  • Experimental Grenade
  • Experimental Heavy Weapon
  • Experimental Powered Weapon
The resistance cards "Munitions Experts", "Bomb Squad" and "Suit Up" have also been disabled since their purpose was to speed up the Experimental Projects.

GRENADES AND ROUNDS
Three special projects have been added to mimic the Bluescreen Protocol project but with elemental grenades and rounds.

*Without this mod, the Chryssalid Autopsy unlocks the Hellweave Vest directly.
I modified it to be consistent with the way all other vests are unlocked.
Now it goes like this: Autopsy -> Proving Ground Project -> Buildable Item.
