Additions

  • Patch for Rim-Elves
    • 4 new weapons (2 medieval, 2 spacer)
    • A handful of medieval and spacer pawnkinds that need ammo.

Reasoning

  • Longbow patched as a slower, but lighter and slightly more accurate greatbow.
  • Scimitar patched as a lighter longsword with inferior Stab.
  • Banebrand patched as monosword with inferior Stab and AP.
  • The elven charged bow fires the equivalent to a 8x35mm charge, consuming plasteel arrows with a range like an assault rifle. It trades range and overall rate-of-fire for a fairly hard-hitting round at a comparatively quite low material price.

Note: Elves has comparatively low weight capacity because the mod author has given them a bodySize of 0.55 (compared to 0.8 for baseline humans). This was apparently to make them more susceptible to the effects of drugs and alcohol. For now, I've left their bodySize as is--since it really should be on the mod author to resolve.

This lower weight cap makes it difficult for the spacer-tech elf NPCs to spawn with enough ammo. Their gigantic gene adds a decent amount of added bulk and mass capacity, but it can still be hit or miss whether or not they have enough room.

Alternatives

  • Could balance weapons some different way.

Testing

Check tests you have performed:

  • Compiles without warnings
  • Game runs without errors
  • (For compatibility patches) ...with and without patched mod loaded
  • Playtested a colony (specify how long)

Sorry, something went wrong.
