Permits: Re-Examined

** VFE - Empire HIGHLY recommended but not required. The infographics and mod page text assume you have it. **

I’ve used permits in every single run since getting Royalty, and not once have I touched the resource permits.

Why would I want 250 steel every 45 days when I can just go mine 6 steel ore and instead use that permit point on something actually strong, like an orbital strike or trooper squad?

It feels like almost every resource permit is just totally outclassed by the offensive ones. The resource drops are very small, while the combat ones let you easily handle strong raids or off home tile fights with ease.

So I made this mod to give the resource permits some love.

Be warned that this mod is strictly buffs, so yes it will make the game easier.

What’s changed:

• Big buffs across the board to resource permit yields.

• Improvements to the Striker Turret Drop and Burnout Shield Drop, which were just underwhelming compared to other combat options.

Whats been added:

• Call medic team: heal up your troops after a rough fight.*

• Call trauma surgeon: for surgery, bad infections, or near-death pawns.*

• Antigrain Warhead Drop: because sometimes, you just want something gone.

(*Medical supplies not included)

As always, if you run into a bug, please leave a comment containing a hugslib log + what you were doing when it happened. (If you don't give me a hugslib log and I chop off your limbs)
