[WIP](Alpha 9) Craftable Guns v0.5

[fenix849]

Description
Warning: This mod is a work in progress, and as such any future changes may render savegames unloadable.

This mods main function is to make the stock game's guns craftable via the Firearms Machining Table, it also adds a single additional weapon, the sighted pistol.

Once completed I may opensource the mod, because there was a lot of figuring out that needed doing.

Kudos

• oranos, for being an awesome sounding board and some tech tree ideas.
• sacomato(irc), for his assistance with some of the finer technical points.
• tynan, for making such a fun challenging and awesomely moddable game.

Sorry if that sounded like an emmy speech, but credit where it's due.


Features

   
• Added Weapon Sighted Pistol, it has the following stats:

   It's more accurate at 91% - 71% - 67% - 51%
   But it's range is still 24 tiles.
   Rate of fire, damage et al., are unchanged.

There is already a weapon crafting mod It does not however have sighted pistols just fyi.

I do look forward to seeing what makes this mod different.

[fenix849]

That's true but, what differentiates my mod is that it in as far as it's able (ie where it doesn't completely impede gameplay), this mod prefers realism.

As far as i can find, it's the only mod that adds only craftable guns and not other stuff people may not actually want.

AFAIK you can have as many mods as you want, so combining largely unrelated features into a mod just limits choice, imo.

As for the sighted pistol, im thinking of making that an an upgrade rather than directly craftable actually (ie recipe takes pistol and metal and gives sighted pistol).

No it's a mod pakcish thing you can just choose craftable guns dude :/.

[fenix849]

I had a look at Brunayla's Security Co, the weapon crafting is ok, imo, it's a little bit on the cheap side, and we have different unlock methodologies, he used crafting skill, I use a research tree.

I really just made the mod for myself and a few of my friends that didn't like the existing options, if other people gain value from it, that's just a bonus.

I do however also plan to make a version that is compatible with Guns+, which I think is more balanced that some of the other new weapon mods, and I'm working on adding crafting of explosives, which will be a risky proposition.

More choice is never a bad thing. You keep modding and expanding your knowledge and having fun.

I'm working on adding crafting of explosives, which will be a risky proposition.

ooo what kind of explosives?

[fenix849]

Frag grenades, the Guns+ grenade launcher,  and the T-9 incendiary, to extrapolate, the risk will be a small chance based on crafting skill the table and person at the table get taken out in an explosion and resulting shock wave and a fire starts. Im thinking 4-5% for Crafting 1 and like 0.5% for Crafting 20.

Just need to work out how to do it in the code, I can already destroy the table and kill the colonist, that's fairly easy. I'm still experimenting with how to set a fire nearby.

I hope this gets updated to alpha 9
