No Hope Difficulty Settings

Item Difficulty Settings

As of writing there are 34 item categories in the game. No Hope alters some of the spawn rates for the categories to a degree depending on the players choice at the start of the game. These rates notably don't work with every type of item spawn rn. Below is each category's inclusion/exclusion along with any reasoning:

item_category_id	included/excluded	reasoning
guns	included
magazines	included
ammo	included
weapons	included
tools	included
clothing	included?	Corpses with no clothes would be weird?
food	included
drugs	included
manuals	included
books	included?	Small category of mostly fluff items.
maps	excluded?	The reduced working vehicles/fuel etc mean reducing maps would just be overkill.
mods	included
mutagen	excluded	Mutagen is already a rare reward.
bionics	excluded	Bionics are already a rare reward.
currency	excluded	Currency is nigh useless anyway.
veh_parts	included
other	included?	Couldn't find much of note in this category despite it's size.
fuel	included
seeds	excluded	Seeds are nigh useless anyway.
ma_manuals	excluded?	Martial art manuals are already rare, I think making dojos more dangerous would be better.
traps	excluded
chems	excluded	These are either rare already or not really useful to the player as far as I can see.
spare_parts	included?	This category is very broad but notably includes basic crafting ingredients and vehicle components that should be affected.
container	excluded	I'm not 100% on whether removing containers removes their contents or spills them but either way doesn't seem ideal. Finding lots of empty containers fits the theme.
artifacts	excluded	Artifacts are already a rare reward.
keys	excluded?	These are just id cards and are already reasonably rare and usually offer risk/reward.
corpses	excluded
tool_magazine	included
armor	included
exosuit	excluded	Exosuits are already a rare reward.
