+changes: 
+  - balance: "Changes Baseline + Industrial burn modifiers. Baselines are more susceptible to burn, Industrials handle heat better and survive for longer."
+  - tweak: "Also changes default damage modifiers for synthetic limbs. Retains its brute resistance, but takes more damage from burn-based sources."
