Starts with Stats

Description
NOTICE: Given I've been completely inactive for years this may be obvious, but I am completely done with Kenshi modding. All of my mods are up for grabs to improve or use the assets of if you feel so inclined. I am not an artist or an animator and lack the talent or interest to continue to work on Kenshi projects. My apologies.

So I did some research on how the lowest-level NPCs are statted. Turns out even the lowliest of them can have up to 7 points of skill in combat, and Holy/UC citizens can have as many as 10. This changes the default starts so that you'll start with stats that range from 5-15, skipping the earliest-game grind and keeping your abilities on-par with the average non-combat NPC. There's no real reason for this other than I thought it would make sense that the player have the same strength as a starving vagrant instead of a brain-damaged cripple that has somehow reached maturity with exactly one point of skill under his belt.

The Rock Bottom start is unchanged though.

I did wandering trader and no stat change. Others worked. Mod load order maybe?

It does not. The mod only affects starting characters, who are spawned with 1s in all stats, while bar recruits are at least barely competent in a few areas last I checked.

Does this also change the start for recruits in a bar?
