Do medkit type items like x-grog and vodka still grant bravery xp for treating fatal wounds? I've just recently got rum production going and I'm wondering if I could use it to replace my basic bandage items.

Neither Rum or Grog trains Bravery. I guess Vodka doesn't. Luckily bandages are cheap and small. Another way to train BRA is... using a rope. Not very practical but hey, it's something!

You definitely should start using rum to replace most of your existing medical stocks.
The Rum is usable on self and has six charges of all three healing types. The Rum's 4hp healed per wound is second only to the Field Surgery Kit and the built in beer and painkillers are good utility. I try to pack a bottle of rum in almost everybody's quickdraw slot if they're not already using it to carry a stunner, knife, or sidearm. Get in the habit of sipping rum whenever you get shot, whenever you use archery/throwing, whenever you make melee kills, and whenever you sprint to move.

This isn't a small question but I don't suppose anyone here knows how to mod existing XPiratez map tiles using Mapview2? I figured it out far enough to install and open the program but it seems like getting it to load files beyond the vanilla game folders requires you to manually edit several .yml files and this is a bit over my head. I'm just trying to modify one map tile, the landing pad from the escape tower mission.

No easy solution here, I'm afraid.

But I think I can make it much easier for you. Please contact me via Matrix, as it's kind of involved: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=10381.0

Ah ok, thanks for the offer. I'm just about to leave on a trip and I've never used matrix before so I'll have to research this later.
