Each "Category" (State of XYZ) is divided into smaller subsections, called "Packets" of changes. These packets contain a small amount of changes, which may all be enabled or disabled at once, however the changes within these packets may not be enabled or disabled individually. Further, each category also includes custom content, which may all be enabled or disabled individually, as well as "Essential" changes that CANNOT be disabled without disabling the entire category.
The idea of having packets of changes is to allow users to customize the scope of BalanceOverhaulRBO to a finer degree, without being able to separate coupled changes. For example, packets of changes might include a set of buffs AND nerfs to Ceremonial Dagger, or they would be included as a pair of changes that complement each other, such as reworking various stun items. This same principle applies to Essential changes and their items as well. The items in BalanceOverhaulRBO serve as a means to an end for balance purposes - they would not fit into Risk of Rain 2 without the Essential changes of each category that accompany them.
