Greetings, fellow CE + Rimsenal users. As title states.

Problems
1. While CE has an in-built patch for Rimsenal, recent changes made by Rimsenal is causing the patch to fail. Greydale Defense armor now works similar to the weapon, in that they use a kit rather than raw materials. Because the Pioneer Armor is the second patch operation in the list of things, this failure in turn, results in everything below (all other armor from Rimsenal Core) to fail, thereby rendering these Spacer-tech armor function worse than a simple flak vest.
2. Greydale Defense received more armor to their catalog which has not yet been touched by Combat Extended team.

Solution
Anticipated Difficulty Rating: Intermediate

This is truly a temporary fix for those who have dabbled in .XML edit to get the Rimsenal Core armor to start functioning again. I will NOT post a Workshop item for this; this is something that can, and should be done as a local fix.

1. Create a local copy of Combat Extended.
2. Locate the Patches folder in the Combat Extended mod folder, and find the Rimsenal Collection.
3. Open Apparel_RS_CE (works better if you have something like Notepad+)
4. Select the "Pioneer Armor" and "Pioneer Helmet", and shift the items to the bottom of the operations, before "</operations>". This will get the game to patch every other Rimsenal core armor to function once again.
5. If so inclined, remove the codes on Pioneer Armor that tries to replace Plasteel, Devilstrand, and Steel. This will get the Pioneer Armor to work correctly.

Every other Greydale Defenses armor outside Pioneer Armor will not function until codes are added. I am not touching this since I leave the balancing to the CE team.

I expect similar fix can be applied to the "Scorcher Armor". CE team, I appreciate all that you do.
