## Optional

### ML Series Integrations

- [ml_missions](https://miciomods.it/scripts/ml_missions): Gates missions behind unlocked skills, awards XP on completion, and force-unlocks new skills for every squad member when a mission ends
- [ml_lootzones](https://miciomods.it/scripts/ml_lootzones): Awards XP on every loot claim and hides loot targets that require a locked skill
- [ml_lootprops](https://miciomods.it/scripts/ml_lootprops): Awards XP when a loot prop is searched and gates props behind required skills
- [ml_crafting](https://miciomods.it/scripts/ml_crafting): Delegates crafting progression: maps each recipe category to a `ml_skills` category, sends XP on craft, gates recipes behind `required_skill`

These integrations are zero-config. Drop `ml_skills` in the load order and the consuming scripts pick up the exports automatically.
