Some may note that I tend to name scripts after other people. In this case, I named the script after... a Korean actress from the 2006 movie "The Host", and the 2013 movie Snowpiercer (not the TV series). I know her from "The Host".

And yes, I have tested this feature to work with scripts within that list. No configuration needed, it automatically detects the listed systems and adapts itself quite easily. The only issues are the Rataime scripts that cannot see the 'extra' resource content, so no handling (shadows, reflections) of the worn items is as yet possible.

Did I mention that writing instructions is boring? I can code like no tomorrow. But writing instructions just bores the hell out of me.
