Description
This mod improve the compatibility between '[url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1264778930]Colonist Tech Background[/url]' and '[url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2554469600]Arcane Technology[/url]', by allowing to restrict equipment at same time by pawn tech background level and researches done.
A tribal pawn will be able to use neolithic and medieval equipment without research required (regardless of the colony tech level), but also eltex gear, psychic lances and molotov.
Then after researches are done, he will also be able to use grenades, early guns (revolver, pump shotgun and bolt action rifle), gas mask and flak gear.
If he wants to use more advanced equipment, he will have to study to improve his tech background level.
An industrial pawn will be able to use most industrial equipment, but the researches are required for advanced weapons (chain shotgun, heavy SMG, LMG, Assault rifle, sniper rifle and minigun). He will also be able to use spacer equipment after researches (Royalty spacer melee weapons are linked to Advanced fabrication).
If he wants to use any equipement without research restrictions, he will need to study to improve his tech background level to finaly become a spacer pawn.
It should be noted that the starting pawns have tribal tech background, or spacer tech background. Pawns have no issue to use the regular starting equipment, nether the deserter pawn from quest, by example.
The recommended settings for 'Arcane Technology' are shown in preview pictures, but using the colony tech level allow to bypass the research requirements (tribal pawns could use revolver in industrial colony without 'Gunsmithing' researched...).
Changes can be easily made by editing the file 'EquipmentRules.xml', like mods support.
