This is the Hardcore edition of my other mod of the same name! The changes are much more drastic than in the original!
“This is a incredibly simple mod that tackles a problem I personally have had for a while, and only got worse with survival mode. I found that T-60 and X-01 spawn far too early in the game, I wont even reach the castle before finding a full suit of X-01. Some people might not see that as a problem, but I’d rather have time to enjoy the lower tier armors before they are made obsolete.
All this mod does is change the level lists for power armor spawns in the overworld, this does NOT affect vendor inventories, the Atom Cats will still sell you power armors at the same levels as before! I may decide to change that in the future, but as this is somewhat a personal preference mod, I don’t personally use those vendors to acquire my armor, Id rather save my caps for unique items and sweet, sweet -CENSORED- fuel. Besides, in my experience you have to go well out of your way to get a complete set of anything but T-60 from them, and if you are the type of person to do that, this probably isn’t a mod you are interested in anyway.”
T-51 Now spawns at minimum of level 18
T-60 Now spawns at minimum of level 35
X-01 Now spawns at minimum of level 50
This works best in Survival, or a heavily modded Survival, if you play this on a lower difficulty and wind up blasting through the game and expending every frame spawn as a T-51 or T-60 frame before reaching level 50, that is your fault.
