Auto add was actually what I was thinking of. I didn't mean there was a way with bootstrap per se.

The down side to auto adds is that if the user chooses several Edges before settling on one, like some folks do, there will be excess gear for each choice deposited on the character.

I can see that, but surely its at least as easy to delete it in that case than it is to add it in when its supposed to be there without it?

Yes, that is true.

Maybe put a note on it "Adding this Edge will add equipment to the character, which will need to be removed manually if the Edge is removed".

They ran into this same issue on some items in D&D 5e. What they've done for 5e is to have the Feat (Edge, in our case) create text field that displays in the appropriate tab (Armory, Gear, etc) basically saying "You are entitled to buy X for free". These text fields disappear once character creation is locked. For us, we'd have to rig it a little differently since Edges can be picked up any time, not just during creation. I'm thinking that these would display as long as the note was present, meaning the note would have to be deleted once the equipment was acquired.

Seeley, that Killer Instinct fix is now live...

We fixed that bootstrapping issue by removing the issue from the other end. There's no conflict on Edges now, and everything that was coded for compset EdgeWep can be reset back to Edge. So, bootstrap away!

Now I get to find out if the Update file I did for Broken Earth was done right...

Evil wins because good rolls poorly .... or the players are not paying enough attention to the game.
