[LimeTreeSnake]

-Degradation -

-Description-
This mod makes sure that all your stuff breaks down with passive and active use. Using weapons wear them down and they can jam.


-Features-

• Mod settings where you can turn on and off features and change degradation values, including daily vanilla apparel deterioration
• Randomize damage done to your items.
• Degradation for NPC.
• Quality of item matters for degrading, make your legendary weapons everlasting
• Jamming when firing badly damaged weapons!
• Bullet count matters for degradation.
• All features Toggleable.

-Special Thanks to-

• Jecrell: cause he is great and his code helped me a lot.
• Pardeike: cause of his work on Harmony.
• XeoNovaDan: For his suggestion regarding quality.
• LegendBraki: For his many suggestions.

-Compatibility-

• Adding/removing this mod mid-save may or may not have unforeseen consequences but so is true for all mods right?
• CE
• Minigun 2

-Updates-
2019-11-26
- The used weapon should be damaged correctly in case of multiple possible sources.
- Bullet Matters formula revised to actually do what it is supposed to. . .
- Jamming works again.
- Remade old firing code and fast exits.
- Much sturdier weapon, undamaged weapons won't take any damage even at 100%.

Lindorm,
thanks for this mod.
But could you please add a non-steam download ?
If you want it workshop only, no problem, but then there is no reason for a forum entry.

Apologies! I've uploaded the whole code to github including source code.

Update: Added functionality for deterioration of weapons upon use.

Critical Update, resolved issue with turrets and other non-pawn things being calculated.

I've been waiting so damn long for this mod to happen, thanks a grand! This is a feature that is truly lacking from vanilla game.

Does it work on modded equipment? Should I place it high or low on modlist?

Yes, I've been using it with tons of weapon mods without fault.
It uses harmony thus inserts itself whenever a certain firing method is called. It should not truly matter where you put this mod in the mod load order but I tend to keep it rather high up / middle.

Should you face any issues, do tell!

Hi, is this mod still functional? I'd love to see a version that adds a stat for a weapon so one can customize the amount of shots a weapon fires before it takes a degradation hit, so we can have different weapons with different degradation patterns. It would mesh really well with repairing.

[LimeTreeSnake]

Apologies for the late reply!
I am still using my mod, had no problems with it so far.

Your suggestion does sound neat but that'd require patching all weapons with said stat.
As of this moment, weapons that fire a lot of rounds tend to take (albeit I'd claim more realistic) more damage as a consequence which in turn does not bode well for miniguns and whatnot. Although you can tweak the rate of degradation to a much lower rate, say, 0.1% chance of 1 damage per bullet and just keep the daily chance of degradation.
I'll play around with the thought and I just might come up with an alternative calculation for individual weapons as per suggestion.

Yes, a very small percentage as a chance to damage the gun per shot is the ideal approach to take, since on average it will drop durability at the same rate. However, i'd warn you that it would only be feasible with other mods in conjunction, such as Mending, so players can maintain their Legendary weapons, or keep this percentage really really low so only a very unlucky streak would drop the weapon's durability.

Indeed, it is already possible to tweak the deterioration rate in the mod settings. It is also entirely possible to change the rate depending if it's a melee weapon or a ranged weapon. Simply use the slider in the mod settings to change the values to whatever you prefer.

I for one relish the fact that weapons with time break down, much more interesting in the tribal runs I do whenever I get my hands on a weapon far beyond my own technology level. However, as you say, using this mod in conjunction with say, mending mod does add another layer of depth.
