Your typical weapons mod, in this case adding Charged weapons and  misc weapons. All weapons can be crafted after the respective research is unlocked at the Machining table. Variants have their own quirks and values that allow for differing uses to their vanilla counterparts.

Not compatible with Combat Realism but a Patched version is in the works.

In case of Broken saves due to V1.0.1 EW to V1.0.2 CA update
1. Get V1.0.1 Extended Weaponry from Legacy downloads
2. Enable V1.0.1 EW instead of V1.0.2 CA
3. Load broken save and remove any weapons from this pack.
4. Save and unload V1.0.1
5. Load - hopefully - fixed save with V1.0.2 (Or dont - Im text, not a cop.)

Looking pretty cool. I really like weapons mods that don't just add stuff that exist in real life since Rimworld plays 3500 years into the future. I think you might wanna add the damage stat to the description :)

Adalah217

Awesome textures!! If I didn't already have DTC's weapon pack installed, I would use this pack!

Also, it should be very easy to make a combat realism patch. Just add bulk, mass, ammoset, and some verb stuff for the weapons, as well as projectile information and ammo thingdefs and you're set.

pktongrimworld

I downloaded this mod just so I get the potatoe launcher lol

Neildmac

For the record, I am taking suggestions on what weapons to add into the 1.0.2 update. Either reply on this forum, the steam workshop page or join the reddit Non-official Rimworld discord. (https://discord.gg/UTaMDWc)

Current planned weapons include:
Ballistics: Flechette Shotgun [Needle gun]
Lasers/Charged: Remaining laser variants, Gauss rifle and Disintegration ray
Misc: Flamethrower, Napalm Launcher, Acoustic harassment devices (Sound cannons), Portable cannons and possibly the 'Brown note'

V1.0.2 will most likely rename the Laser weapons to Charged weapons, following a suggestion on the steam workshop.

Stormfox

Kudos for making a weapon mod that a) does not add some speficic replica of a 1000 year old weapon and b) not dozens of them that basically share the same stats anyways, but clutter up the lists.

You might want to update your archive structure, though. All other mods are zipped with their directory intact, while yours is packed "loose" - which leads to a small mess when just hitting "unpack here".

As for suggestions: I would love it if the mod remained small, or got split into a few smaller chunks when more gets added.

Canute

Just a question, does the laser weapons fire beam's or projetiles (what is stupid and you shouldn't call it laser).

Neildmac

@Canute
Currently the laser weapons use the charge rifle laser texture and sounds until I can make a new texture and sound files (if needed) but currently I have no plans to use another sound file as most of the vanilla sounds suit the weapons nicely.

@Stormfox
Usually I use 7Zips extract to folder function but Ill ensure the pack has a parent folder on next release.

As for the next release, Im planning to add in the Flame Thrower and Charge SMG to the pack in 1.0.2. This pack will also change the laser weapon def names to charge weapons in the next update, so saves will break if there is a weapon in the pack still in your save while you update.

To ensure your save doesnt break, remove your stored weapons from this mod by selling them or using the dev mode delete tool. Once youve installed the new version, you can either rebuy the charge lasers or use the dev mode, Place weapon tool.

Following some thought, this pack has been renamed "Caridion Arsenal" or "CA" for the V1.0.2 update. Older versions will become available in the Legacy downloads section in the initial post (Coming soon).

Side note, I - aswell as a few other modders - need testers for new updates. Should you want to assist me and test development versions join the unofficial discord and Ill send new versions to you when an update is ready.

Neildmac

Caridion Arsenal has now been updated to V1.0.2.

Details on new weapons and stat changes for former weapons have now been updated in the initial post. Anyone who has a bugged save can use the Legacy downloads to update should they have a save with V1.0.1 Laser weapons. Details on saving a broken save in a previous comment.

Still needing suggestions for new guns.

I don't want to read through everything and check whether you already have one suggested, or if one of them means this, but you can you make a stunning, or blackout gun? E.G. its purpose is to be a non-lethal alternative, a way to capture people, for... Organ..ic Science of course!

Neildmac

@Xevion, I'm having a look into the possibly Non-lethal weapons I can add to the mod. Tasers will most likely be included (Short and Long range) as well as something like a stun bow and possibly blow darts.
As for the list, it doesn't really matter if its already on there, I can go between to check if its already suggested so post it anyway and I'll cynically judge it.

Regarding any users with broken saves from the V1.0.2 update, details have been added on how to fix your save.

A17 version coming soon, with teasers of new weapons for the update as they are completed
