Exactly, unless you do some config work

I'm confused so is there no way to have a dps slot w/ amalgamation that allows me to use a pistol normally?

Amalgamation limits what slot a weapon has to be to use it or its perks

would more utility slots be causing this problem?

not having any of the other issues, but for some reason I can't shoot with the pistols, only overwatch. any ideas about what's causing this?

yes that is standard behavior .... you might be able to make it work with configs. Would need a combination of Amalgamation and Ability to Slot Reassignment configs

i personally didn't like it when it was possible because it takes away a lot of Amalgamation and makes the soldiers even stronger, so i don't have those configs anymore.

This mod adds the Architect's forge (spiregun) from your Amalgam Architect to the pistol slot, but the abilities related to it can only function in the secondary slot; in the pistol slot, it does nothing and its abilities do not appear in the tactical layer.

This is odd, because those abilities appear in the strategy layer, and in the secondary slot they're still usable and appear in the tactical layer. Is there a typo or missing line somewhere in this, or would it be in your Architect Amalgam?

(Noticed with the conventional forge, didn't check mag/beam)

well got reports of people where it works now ... so two possibilities:
a) steam hasn't updated the mod for you yet
b) another mod is doing funky things

Same issues even with the update unfortunately. :( I'm having the same issue as Stickiler where my sidearm slots are blank btw (think the primary weapons issue is related to another mod where i can have secondaries as primary weapons or something)

my mod never allowed Fultons as much as i can see. Do you have another mod fiddling with the DPS slot? i recreated most things now. the message will still be there. but it shouldn't break anything. If it doesn't help you i will just delete this mod so please just inform me

Strange. I will take a closer look later

I had Fulton Harnesses in two of them, not sure the third.

What did you have in their sidearm slot?

Likewise.

The Sidearm slots for all my soldiers are now blank, when they weren't before, and I'm getting the mod load error on game load as well

This mod does definitely nothing with primary weapons. The message is probably due to a change of the internal name and shouldn't be a problem

when i try to load my save I get an error about a missing plugin, and in that save some of my characters can't equip any primary weapons, including ones that were working before

What exactly is breaking ?

Similar issue as below, my loadouts are breaking with this last update :/

Yup, after the latest update, Sidearm slots are now broken, and there's an error on game load that the mod is missing

Hi, i have the mod installed and enabled in my alternate launcher, but its telling me when i try to load my save the mod is not installed

I'm doing a LWotC playthru and have the Dedicated Pistol Slot mod installed but not the Amalgamation classes. It not useful for me

he probably just needs to specify the correct mod as prerequisite. you don't even really need his mod iirc

hey man the bug with amalgamation tertiary weapon support looking for required mods is still there, its says " AmalgamationClassesPistolSlotusesTrinkets" i missing

This might be a dumb question, but does this only work with Amalgamation classes? I'm doing a LWotC playthru and have the Dedicated Pistol Slot mod installed but not the Amalgamation classes. Any idea if this would let me equip trinkets in the pistol slot on my current game?

Update: 24 Mar

Incorporated some Savage Item Items
If soldier has Launch Grenade Perk he can put the Charges into the Sidearm slot (probably needed to come from classperks)
many soldiers can put CORE Bars and Ration Bars in the Sidearm Slot

also (by default deactivated) i added many "tertiary* weapons like arcthrowers or sawed offs in the sidearm slots. I am not completly sure all perks work this way so it is deactivated by default

Yep got the same thing!

Strange!
i did push an update yestreday so it may be the case

did you change the mod id ? when I start to load a savegame from yesterday it says this mod is missing. I see in the AML that the mod got an update and is loaded.

Thank you

Congrats on upload
