Expanded Craftable Weapons v2.1

This mod adds the ability to research and craft both Edge Type 3 & Meitou grade weapons; also makes Homemade weapons as strong as the existing ones and boosts their sell price. Additionally it unlocks several new, previously unobtainable, Meitou weapons.

FEATURES:
- Research & craft Edgewalkers and Meitou weapon grades
- Homemade are no longer much weaker than the existing ones
- Crafted weapon sell prices are boosted to resemble the existing ones
- Weapon grades no longer disappear -- you can craft anything from Old-Refitted Blade to Meitou using new "Weapon Smith - All Grades" bench that unlocks along with "Weapon Smith III"
- New Meitou weapons that were previously unobtainable:
Flesh Cleaver
Iron Club
Iron Stick
Long Cleaver
Mercenary Club
Naginata Katana
Spiked Club

Stat Difference on example of Heavy Polearm Meitou (Cross vs Homemade)


RESEARCH LEVELS AND REQUIREMENTS:
Edge Type 1 - Smithing level 56 - Tech Level 5 - Cost: 1 AI Core
Edge Type 2 - Smithing level 60 - Tech Level 5 - Cost: 1 AI Core
Edge Type 3 - Smithing level 64 - Tech Level 5 - Cost: 1 AI Core
Meitou - Smithing level 81 - Tech Level 6 - Cost: 2 AI Cores
Researching forementioned weapon grades requires previous researches(Advanced Weapon Grades & Advanced Weapon Smithing). Weird Smithing levels are a result of Kenshi's modding tool limitations - same as different color grading for weapons.

Contrary to some other similiar mods, this one doesn't have a problem with Meitou weapons becoming Rusted Junk on critical chance.

REQUIREMENTS:
DarkUI - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1200632417 by Eldryn

Part of this mod is using the same .XML file as popular mod called "DarkUI". In order to make Expanded Craftable Weapons compatible with "DarkUI", I had to add it as dependency.
Since huge part of playerbase is already using the mod, I believe it won't be much of a problem (and maybe some people will discover this amazing mod because of this). If you don't want to use DarkUI however, you can delete GUI file within mod folder (not the main one) and then you won't need to use it. It will only affect color of weapon grades.

IMPORTANT NOTE: DarkUI needs to be loaded ABOVE Expanded Craftable Weapons, in order for correct color grading to be visible (ie., yellow color for Edge Type I-III).
