Updated to 1.0

Overly persnickety asshole rant warning: While I get the idea you were going for, a better candidate for a rifle "similar to the LMG" would actually be something more like a FN-FAL or one of the later M14 rifles. A damage of 15 is insane, as the current LMG in the game does 8 damage, and it seems to be based on a mix of the DPM and the Lewis gun, both of which fire rounds that are much more powerful than that of the AK-47.

The FN-FAL and the M14 both fire rounds comparable with what an LMG would fire, while the 7.62x39mm cartridge used by the AK-47 is actually, despite the reputation, less damaging than a round from an M-16, and far less damaging than a round from an LMG.

Updated to A18.

Will this be updated to A17 and 18?

please, update A17

Very good! Keep this mod up to date, and share it on the official forum so developers can support the next updates.

Great addition Xeo, I'll work on further balancing the gun with that insight in mind. You hit the nail on the head, I was going for something similiar to the LMG, I have no intentions of outclassing it, just adding to the pool of vanilla guns. I'll get right to work.

Packs the stopping power of the charge rifle (and then some), with similar behaviour to the LMG. Great potential, but I feel it currently outclasses the LMG in its current form by somewhat of a margin, and therefore potentially even the charge rifle.

Maybe pare back the burst count and damage slightly? Bearing in mind the Charge Rifle does 12 damage, and the Heavy SMG does 13. I'd think along the lines of 11 damage and 4-shot burst. That'd make the AK a near-enough perfect middle-ground between the Charge Rifle and LMG, as the Charge Rifle is better in some cases than the LMG, and vice-versa in other cases.

The sound is now no longer echoey (echoie?) but it still needs some work, it has a bit of an abrupt ending but its a big improvment, the range is perfect now and the damage is good too. I still dont know how rare it is so maybe those numbers are a little too high if its really common or vice versa. And the texture is perfect now.

@Spacecouch Let me start off by saying, thank you for the suggestions, it means a lot. I'll give it a shot at tweakin the sound more so there's no echo, and I agree, I think the colors in the AK could be worked on as well. I'll try and push something out tmr.

The actual sound is good but it has alot of echo at the end, you can probably just cut out the end of the sound and it will be much better. PS: I think on the gun model you should make the wood less orange and more brown, it will fit into the rimworld style better I think since rimworld dosent have alot of vibrant colors.

Thank you, the range defs needs to be changed (maybe a little higher than assault rifle?) Just about to upload the custom sound, let me know what you think. All in all though, I 100% agree with everything you wrote. I'll get around to balancing tmr.

I forgot to add, there is no noise for picking it up, you should make it the same as the assault rifle until you add propor sound effects. PS: the artwork on the gun is great.

I did a bit of testing with the gun and here are my conclusions: The accuracy is fine, maybe a little lower but its fine, The damage should be lowered to around 15 considering the amount of shots fired, and the range needs to be significantly reduced (its the same as the sniper rifle currently), maybe to around 20. I didnt test how rare it was but if you want to make it pretty uncommon you could make it a bit better than what I suggested and it could be a late game weapon.

@Spacecouch Yeah, you should be able to. Also the exotic goods vendors will sometimes have them to sell. Working on finding a balance for the work to make them, and the items used to make them. Also what do you think about the actual dmg and 5 round burst on the gun? Is it to OP? I've tested a little bit, the accuracy seems to be right for 5 round burst, but I might want to drop it a little more, I think this gun still outshines the rest. Please hit me up with ideas though, feel free to comment or add me for suggests @Everybody interested in the mod.

Can you find them in raids? And if so, is it leveled?
