- Laser gatling: suppression weapon, medium rate of fire, low damage, high range
- High precision lasgun: superior sniper rifle. Very long range, medium rate of fire, high damage and nearly perfect precision.
User manual

Changelog
V2.2
* Splitted M&Co. Security enforcement into M&Co. AlertSpeaker and M&Co. Weapons for easier maintainability.
* Rework on the high precision lasgun (no more custom warmup animation, traded perfect accuracy for a better firing rate), should no more be OP like in A7.
V2.1
* Basic laser weapons updated to Alpha 8.
* Small damage and research costs tweaks.
V9.0
* Alpha 9 update (decided to change the version number to reflect the current Alpha).
* Increased research costs to fit vanilla durations.
* High precision lasgun damage slightly decreased (30 -> 25).
* Be carefull: those high-tech weapons should be stored in a dry warehouse (no warranty is provided if left rusting under the rain ;))
V10.0

* Increased laser gattling shots per burst (20 -> 30)
* Added quality component as for vanilla guns.
Mining & Co. is trying to make its mods modular. However, you need the Mining & Co. Common (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=8375.0) mod.
You need to activate Common mod
first:- Activate M&Co. Common
- Then M&Co. Weapons
CreditsWeapons texture adapted from original ViperLol ideas. :)
Modders noteYou may be interrested in the following features:
- Use of custom parameters
- Dynamic textures drawing management (based on transparency)

Note to modpacker: not that I don't want to help, but I have very little time to mod/play so I may not be very fast to answer integration questions.

just so you know lazers go straight through ed shields
Prism rifle = Rainbow shotgun.... I love it! :P 8)
Rikiki i got some wierd thing with this, when shooter is not in the screen i dont see the beam.
But im loving it btw, trying to get understand the code still thrugh ;p
@popster99: I know, this is a limitation. :-[ It would be quite a lot of work to adapt the shield for it to stop laser beams.
However, for my defense, I can say the shield only stops matter, not electromagnetic waves. If it stopped also light, then it would be all dark in there! :P
@Loki88: yep, I found it fun to represent the diffraction through the prism like that! ;D
@mrofa: I know, this is a limitation of the game to optimize resources (this is how I see this anyway): it only displays the objects which position is within the screen (for example, there is no shadow if the mountain is not visible).
So laser beams are only displayed if their origin is on the screen.
Good i was worry that i did mess something :D

aww i hate when pirates with lazer destroy me
i seem to be having some problems with this mod i can make up to the laser rifle and after that to make the prism rifle the crysteel component as soon as a pawn drops it into a stockpile it goes poof but i can watch them drop it off into the stockpile i can see them carrying it then it just completely gets erased.
so was wondering if u happen to know if this mod conflicts with any other mods?
@Salfallen: Huh, that is not a bug but I never experienced it. ???
The fact is that you have only a small chance to extract crysteel from plasteel (20 % if I remember correctly). So I use a mechanic where the recipe product is a crysteel spawner which has a small chance to spawn a crysteel and is then despawned.
To avoid this disagreement, use the "Drop on floor" option of the bill. This way you will not see the crysteel spawner.
Thanks for the report. :)
thank you so much for the quick reply thats great to know time to mass produce crysteel
Updated for Alpha 9.
I added some alternative textures on my graphic overhaul (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=10895.msg108825#msg108825) post. (note: I didn't modify any of the weapons)
Updated for Alpha 10!
And now the time for an age-old question have come:
What about alpha 11 update?
