[Patch Request]: Compositable Loadouts

[dakone22]

Mod name: Compositable Loadouts

Link to mod download: Steam Workshop / GitHub

Description:

---

A Rimworld mod designed to reduce micromanagement around allocation of resources, specifically apparel and items held by pawns. It aims to do this by introducing a system of Tags which enable the user to composit (blend/merge together) multiple tags to create unique Loadouts for pawns.

It also features some utility to make procuring things for tags easier, in the form of a bill system which allows users to select the number of pawns using a tag as the basis for the number of products to create.

Still don't understand why the loadout system from Combat Extended doesn't support some sort of tagging system? With a large number of pawns, it becomes quite difficult to manage different loadouts, because pawns are quite individual, but often basic options are repeated.
The simplest example, when there are shooters, and there are shooters-medic, and there are just medics-workers, you have to create a different set for each pawn with repeating options: ranged, worker, ranged+medic, worker+medic, and so on...
Someone already tried, but never made such a system.
Instead of adding a patch, maybe you could just update the loadout system in CE.

I would assume that it would need to be careful about adding ammo support for weapons in loadouts.
