v.4.4

Combat Extended 4.4 “Boom. Headshot.”

Features

• Add the Called Shot system, allowing skilled shooters to aim for specific parts of the body, such as the head or legs.
• Exoframe: Add a new, late-industrial tech exoframe, allowing your colonists to carry more mass without giving them implants or putting them in power armor.
• New ammunition textures.
• Combat Extended Guns: New 105mm Howitzer.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue caused by the auto pawnkind patcher trying to give ammunition to pawns that don’t have an inventory.

Balance

• Greatly increased blunt penetration of explosions from 10% of the blast damage to 25%.
• Attacks with comparably very low armor penetration no longer deal a minimum of 1 damage to armor, meaning armor no longer be worn down quickly by weak attacks.

Misc.

• Added support for VFE: Security trenches.
• Added support for RimAtomics Sentinel shield.
• Removed unnecessary and obsolete “BenchBase” ThingDef.
• Assorted minor performance improvements.
• Added a debugging utility to mod options; enable it and shift-click to view various details on pawns, locations, and other items.
• Added 105mm Howitzer ammoset.
• Added Incendiary, EMP, and Smoke rounds to the 155mm Howitzer ammoset.
• Added Names to some mech ammo, so it can be used as a parent.

Notes:

• A special thanks to Mlies, who allowed us to integrate a number of patches from the various (Continued) mods.
• Patches for the Defensive Machine Gun Turret Pack mod were moved to the base mod.
• Outdated and obsolete patches for Area Rugs and Android Tiers ++ were removed.
