This mod slightly increases the amount of hydration water items give you and makes it easier and faster to drink the right amount of water you need.

• Increase hydration value of water items. 60 -> 100 for 0.6L Bottle. (Drinking one water bottle will will give you a full 100 points of hydration at Metabolism level 1). 100 ->110 for Aquamari Bottle and 50 ->75 for EWR.

• Reduce the Max Resource of both water bottles to 10, allowing you to drink the bottles in 1/10 increments instead of 1/60th. This makes for easy math when needing to hydrate. Are you at 50 hydration? Use 5 water to get to 100. (at Metabolism level 1)

• Increase the food use time to make drinking take a little longer. (call it balance/immersion)

I find this gives water a nice value boost over other drinks. You will still need to drink as often as normal, but you won't need to bring multiple bottles.

All values can be tweaked in the config. Remember, nothing quenches you like water.

*The first time you install this mod, any water bottles already in your inventory will say 60/10. It is safe to use these as normal.

I AM OVERHAULING THIS MOD. THIS MOD PAGE REFLECTS THE NEW VERSION, but it's not quite ready yet.

This mod adds a new "Extraction Intelligence" items to the game.

Each Trader is an expert in the collection and dissemination of intelligence. They wouldn't have gotten where they are now if they weren't. Above all, there is one kind of information each is always eager to hear. Where they, their men, and their supplies can cross between the districts of Tarkov safely. I hear the traders have some recent reports for sale. What do you say new guy? You don't know your way around, and they need someone to verify the intel. A win-win!

Why?

It is extremely difficult to find the extract on a map you are unfamiliar with. I am convinced the only reason Sherpas are a thing is because they forgot to close the most basic game-play loop of telling you where to extract. These documents offer an immersive way gain that knowledge.

• Maps can be purchased from traders and brought into raids to help find your way to an extraction. I gave the documents to whoever I felt best fit that map.
• Prices range around 30-60k, no reputation requirement.
• Nearly all the descriptions give cardinal directions, with north oriented the same as all Dynamic Maps. Don't forget to buy a compass!
• You will also want to turn off Extract Locations in the Dynamic Maps F12 settings.
• You will need UI Fixes to make the text fit appropriately.

Future Plans:

• Right now, only Woods has well written scenarios. (I have only played Woods). The rest of the maps are much more simple directions. I'd like to re-write the rest of the maps. If you have ideas for cool in-game scenarios please share.
• I had an idea to give only the PMC extractions to the Traders and add the SCAV extracts to the loot pool for their corresponding map. IDK about this. Feels like polluting the loot pool. my RNG is shit as it is.
• I like the idea of adding quests to the traders to simply extract at all the locations of a map as a way to "verify intelligence" and keep track of what extracts you haven't been to yet and challenge you to try new ones.
