HAR Player-Only Apparel and Weapon Bypass
Description
This mod lets player-controlled colonists bypass HAR apparel and weapon race restrictions on a per-pawn basis, while leaving NPC behavior and gear generation alone.
There are other mods on the workshop that lift these restrictions, either per race or globally. However, this approach also removes the restrictions on NPC pawns. So when NPC pawns are generated they often wear a random assortment of gear, which looks ugly and out of place. Instead, this mod's approach is to patch the checks done by HAR when apparel and weapons are considered to be worn/equipped, and skip the race restriction checks if the player wishes. This approach does not touch normal pawn generation at all, so NPC pawns will look as intended.
Content
By default, player controlled pawns will show 2 gizmos, one for apparel restriction bypass and one for weapon restriction bypass.
You can toggle each of the bypasses at any time. Pawns will look for gear at normal vanilla intervals and equip appropriate gear according to the assign tab. Pawn will [b]NOT [/b]automatically remove gear if you disable the bypass, even if it is inappropriate. They may replace whatever current gear with better ones if appropriate.
The toggles will affect both the automatic gear search and force equip command by the player.
These toggles should only change HAR race restrictions and nothing else.
You can set the default behavior for new pawns in settings, either default to enable bypass or disable bypass. You can set this for apparel and weapon separately.
You can disable/enable the gizmo on the pawns in settings. You can set this for apparel and weapon separately.

Performance
This mod should be very performant. It only patches HAR checks to skip them under circumstances. Normal vanilla gear search and scoring will run as usual.
