[TaCZ] ZeroContact

The add-on sits on top of TaCZ and adds protective equipment and ammunition classes. Carriers that hold armor plates, plates for the front and back, helmets and masks, chest rigs, combat uniforms, armbands, accessories and armor repair kits are all available. Some equipment also gives extra functions. Equipment occupies dedicated Curios slots, so a full combat loadout fits beside the normal inventory instead of replacing it.

Projectile hits are handled by a dedicated ballistic calculation rather than the usual damage check. Whether a shot penetrates depends on the plate, the cartridge and the impact angle and conditions. A stopped round can still deal blunt damage, a successful penetration produces a different result, and plates lose durability according to the hits they take instead of a fixed cost per hit.

Ammunition is not treated as one type per caliber. Built-in cartridges cover handgun, rifle, shotgun, sniper and launcher calibers, each with its own variants, and special rounds are included as examples. A selector switches between the available types, and the HUD and item tooltips show their statistics. A ThoughBook 67 workbench gives a survival-style path to plates, ammunition, loadouts and accessories. Modpack makers can change or add crafting entries through data packs, and the mod can be combined with other progression systems.
