Updates to the files that define what appears in which stores and how often are relatively simple to make at an editing level, though by the nature of our item system they can be a bit convoluted to understand. My last dev diary is going up soon and it will include a PDF printout that shows the names of the .CSV files that power the stores, what's in them, and the matrix of things found in different locations. Also worth noting: the % chances are extrapolated from weightings provided.
If you're interested in undertaking a file adjustment mod, you'll want to look at:
[STEAM INSTALL LOCATION]\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data\itemCollections\
Inside you'll find these main types of top-level .CSV files:
- itemCollection_major_*FACTION* (MechParts)
- itemCollection_minor_*FACTION* (Mechs)
- itemCollection_shop_*INDUSTRYTYPE* (All Equipment)
- itemCollection_faction_*FACTION* (Faction Alliance Stores)
That will start you down the rabbit hole of references and weightings!
