Balance

Refactored ranged accuracy formula. Guns now have significantly less range error at close range, which was making them miss downed animals from point blank a lot.
Lead error and recoil increased across the board.
Aiming accuracy and weapon handling stats now have post-process curves, so a level 20 shooter with bionics will no longer have literally perfect accuracy and nail you with a 10-round burst snapshot from across the map.
Added new "Prometheum-soaked" hediff to Prometheum-based weapons. Upon hitting they apply the hediff, which increases flammability and automatically creates fire on pawn. Prometheum-soaked pawns cannot be extinguished fully until hediff is gone.
EMP weapons no longer deal secondary electrical damage. Instead all EMP damage applies 25% of its value as electrical to organics, 100% to Mechanoids.
Slightly nerfed charged ammo armor penetration.
Increased scarring rates for internal organs.
Rebalanced auto-turret accuracy. Regular auto-turrets now have significantly lower accuracy. Advanced turrets have better accuracy but still less than before.
Reduced auto-turret magazine capacity 200->100
Reduced the damage to weapon from parrying attacks.
Reduced fragmentation range of explosives by ~50%

Hard armor now always takes at least 1 point of damage from attacks, so high-quality power armor and plasteel shields are no longer literally invincible.
Power armor HP increased by 50%.
Advanced helmet reverted to pre-A17 recipe. Now stuffless, made from steel and Devilstrand.
Renamed advanced helmet to composite helmet.
Slightly decreased advanced helmet HP (in line with composite vest).
Power armor now requires Devilstrand to craft.

Rebalanced weapon crafting costs and work to make. Increased component cost for more advanced firearms such as belt-fed MG's. Weapons with plastic parts now require chemfuel as ingredient.
Post-WWII era firearms now require new advanced firearms research to craft. Ammo still unlocks at machining.
Charge ammo requires charged shot research to craft.

Reverted assign tab UI to old button graphics for more space efficiency.
Refactored inventory generation. Most NPC's now have a chance to generate with faction-appropriate shields if they have a one-handed weapon, as well as sidearms and random ammo for all their ranged weapons.
Rebalanced raider weapon money and tags. Should no longer see random pirates carrying Doomsday launchers and M60's all the time.
Tribals can now spawn grenadiers which use stick bombs for sapping.
Drugs can now be ordered ingested directly from inventory, same as meals.

Hunters will now maintain optimal firing range if animal moves away and chase down fleeing animals.
Hunters will cut throat of downed animals (boomrats/boomalopes are still executed from range).
Using one-time use weapons like grenades or rocket launchers will now automatically equip another weapon, preferably of same type.
Ammo is now displayed in categorized resource list.
Weapon caliber and magazine stats are now listed under weapon stats, rather than item description. This should also fix a bug where weapons would not display those things in Prepare Carefully info-menu.
Grenades and binoculars now ignore partial cover obstructions when determining line of sight.
