Having issues with Thermorifle pawns hitting themselves and the Combat Shotgun has twice the range of the chain shotgun and 1 extra shot per burst, Its top of my count for pawns killed both friendly and enemy.

Grenade launcher is shockingly balanced better than most vanilla stuff, like it is DEADLY but slow and needs to be deployed correctly.

thermorifle causing CTD

@GapeHole: It's not an incendiary weapon, it's an explosive weapon that targets blunt armor, which is the weakest armor category on Mechanoids and most other things.

Wait so remove the whole point of it being a more dangerous sniper rifle that can harm you and your enemies through aoe damage and fire, and instead make it a better sniper rifle with fire damage and viable armor pen? You do realize the gimmick is that it's dangerous to shoot on your tile around your pawns but in exchange it's much more deadly against foes at a safe distance away right? But yeah I think it's more like the lore not really lining up with the function but fire damage against mechanoids isn't really that effective anyway, the weapon honestly feels like some sort of weird prototype weapon developed to combat cover and roast people like chicken

Thermorifle doesn't seem very balanced? It has 100% accuracy on any pawn, shreds and burns targets, it's basically a grenade sniper rifle with even more range that counter-intuitively is better against humans because mechs don't burn and explosives have terrible armor penetration.

IMO, remove the explosive component, it makes the gun too strong and causes issues with projectiles hitting trees and friendlies right next to the shooter. Also higher armor penetration and stopping power to suit its role as anti-mechanoid. Even without the explosive part it still outperforms the vanilla sniper rifle.

im having a problem where paws using the thermorifle have a habit of blowing themselves up?

Spelling mistake with the combat shotgun "Good "rangeand" a higher..." description ingame

That does tend to be the nature of grenade launchers.

the grenade launchers are a menace man

Really liking the extra weapons but there is one issue. The combat shotgun does more damage than the other vanilla/vanilla expanded/etc shotguns at 18 and has both extreme range of 21 for a shotgun, along with an ultra nasty 4 shot burst. Possibly a little bit lower on the damage/burst side as it outperforms anything that isn't a charge weapon or minigun at range. Tearing through basically any target.

I can lower their commonality a little, I'm a good person.

Enemy grenade launchers are freaking insane. Show up super early and their accuracy combined with the projectile speed has caused me what I can only describe as emotional and mental anguish. I don't want to tell you how to design your mod, but damn I need to get good, I guess.

Wouldn't be so bad if they only showed up at higher point levels when my guys had some decent armor.

I remember the combat shotgun being so broken
twas inevitable it would be nerfed
but glad to see this mod updated to 1.6

Compatibility for Proper Shotguns please!

Maybe a single use cheap rocket launcher

Totally intentional. Will totally not be fixed in a second.

combat shotgun,16s Aim for time

Mod updated to 1.6
- Added the Grenade Launcher.
- Reluctantly, nerfed the Combat Shotgun.
- Tweaked various textures.

Good things come to those who wait, take your time dog.

I will update it, yes.

need this mod for 1.6 :c

is it intended that you cant hunt ducks with the thermo rifle ?

Love your artwork; any chance I could commission some Outer Worlds items from you?

I'll very likely do that, I just knew no other term for it.

The marksman rifle is described as semi-automatic, but has a two-round burst. I like the niche it fills, could you change the description to be select fire of something like that?

It doesn't, but it is possible.

Out of curiosity, does this have compatibility with VWE Grenades? That is, as a reloadable belt item. (If not, would that be possible?)

I really like this mod. Just wish there was some kind of melee equivalent

Muzzle flash compatibility ?

ngl I ditched all the other weapon mods and started using yours. They feel so unique and good, and the best thing is that they fit with the game. Keep it up boss

Would be cool! Really love your weaponry mods as you've done excellent with making them have a cool aesthetic and also cool mechanics.

Possibly in another mod to keep the uniqueness of the Thermorifle.

I love the thermorifle, will you add other thermo-type weapons? Like a thermobaric slug shotgun or thermobaric autocannon.

Nice mod. Thank you! I like how it doesn't add 200 things, and the art is on point.

Nitpicking on the balance side, chain gun is superior to mini gun in every aspect. The .03 less move speed doesn't compensate.

Oh that makes sense. I think I considered that briefly but my brain still registered it as 4.
I'll just keep the sprites for personal use then lol

It is tribarreled, it's just positioned to show all 3 instead of 2.

I know it isnt that important but the chaingun sprite isnt tri-barreled. But I attempted to make some that look more like a heavy tri-barreled one if youd like to consider them

Predators, eh? So I can finally give mofos mandibles in this game!

You are in luck, a Klingon inspired race (with some Predator inspiration) is one of the upcoming races for the series. They'll even have a faction and a few items to make them stand out. There are pictures on my Discord, unfortunately I can't put images on steam comments.

I like your Xenotypes series, I noticed that your designs are based off of a lot of alien tropes. The Venators are mammalian tribal-esque jungle people, think Angara or Na'vi. The Boglegs are Star Wars shady bounty hunters and drug/arms dealers. The Avaloi are typical aquatic humanoids.

Can you make a bad guy race next? Like a warrior race or space pirate/slaver design? Think Klingons or Sangheili for warriors, and Eliksni, Pfhor, or Batarians for pirates (Either way, we REALLY need an option to give people a whole bunch of eyes in Rimworld).

oh, thx!

Armor penetration.

Can some one tell me what 'AP' stand's for?

You're welcome chief.

Probably my favorite weapon mod. All of the textures are clean, the balancing is on point, and each of them feel like they have a niche. Excellent job, thank you for making this (and your other mods).

@Mihsan It's only updated on the dev snapshot atm

Q: "Is this mod CE compatible?"
A: "Iit should be on their GitHub."

Seems not to be working with CE. Burst pistol causing errors, looks to be not patched for CE.

Fantastic. I was just thinking about removing VE Weapons and then saw this. Decision made :D

@DetVisor Thanks for your great work! And thanks for tweaking the values of the Combat Shotgun. Mutch appreciated! No more shotgun snipers :]

"Special Occasions" update:

Added the Thermorifle, a long-range heavy anti-mech rifle that fires thermobaric projectiles. The projectiles create blunt explosions, making it an ideal choice to face mechanoids.

Added the Stun Grenades, simple and effective grenades which stun pawns in a 3x3 range.

Tweaked the stats of the Combat Shotgun, lowering range by 2 tiles and editing cooldowns.
