Add Small Bundle With T1 Pistol

This mod adds a small box/package on initial player startup that contains a few items for a tiny “boost” on first spawn. It is meant for games that have more powerful zeds appearing on Day 1 (Ferals/custom zeds, or spawning not in forest biome) or games with lowered loot%. Essentially it is to help you survive in a game with moderately decreased early difficulty so IF you run into a higher tier zed on day 1 (especially in a low tier POI) you are not just armed with a T0 weapon. This mod is not meant to make you OP or be able to take on several higher tier zeds day 1. For games with lowered loot %, it contains a little food and some super basic medical/clothing.

The package is meant to be useful only fairly early in game (open/sell within a few days).

Additionally: If you do NOT open the bundle its worth more than all the items inside it by about 20%, so you can choose to open it only if you need it, or sell it to the trader for extra $ at the trader (unopened on day 1 its worth a few boiled waters, or 10 more 9mm, or ~1/2 a cooking pot or grill). Doughphunghus guess you could also wait and open it “days later” once your loot stage? is higher and get a better quality pistol, or wait until you have a better selling bonus/perk but that’s unlikely in early game.

This mod adds:

• 1 Worn Boots (weather protection or scrap for cloth for bandages)
• 1 Overalls (weather protection or scrap for cloth for bandages)
• 4 Cans of Cat Food
• 5 Potatoes (uncooked)
• 1 Sewing Kit
• 1 T1 Pistol (should be quality 1 on day 1, but maybe higher quality if open later?)
• 42 9mm rounds (almost 3 reloads)

Additional credits: Inspiration: There have been several “Starter Bundle/Box” mods available for awhile, but Doughphunghus made this one by making several modifications to one called “ServersideStarterBundle” by Cornl3read (v1.0.0.2) which appears to be listed officially? Usage for v.0.0.2 is shown as ok to freely modify without permission.
