Stronger Flamethrowers

Buff them flamethrowers holy moly are they bad.

works for
- vanilla weapons expanded
- vanilla weapons expanded heavy weapons
- vanilla factions expanded pirates
- Vanilla furniture expanded - security

Makes em shoot a lot faster hit more often and do more damage. lowered the cooldown after shooting from 5+ seconds down to half a second or less also buffed their dmg overall and hit rate.

the vanilla weapons expanded flamethrower still uses an old way of making the flamethrowers work I didnt really feel like adding in the newer version as that would basically be making an entire new weapon so i just made it shoot a lot faster and have a slightly bigger aoe hope thatll suffice for the 2 people that use that flamethrower. I'm gonna guess most people will want this for the warcasket heavy flamer and maybe the vanilla expanded heavy weapons heavy flamer.
I also made it so the warcasket heavy flamer deals more damage than the regular heavy flamer so now you sacrifice your ability to work for a good reason.

-I do reccomend legodudes heavy reloading patch for VWE Heavy weapons cuz the heavy flamers shoots a lot faster.

- Made it so the VWE heavy flamer now has 50 ammo and costs 3 instead of 8 chemfuel to refuel and only 1 second per ammo instead of 3. If Legodudes reloadable heavy weapons is installed have fun.


So to preëmpt some questions.

Q: is this mod well balanced?
A: no, i basically made this just to have fun with flamethrowers and actually be able to kill bugs with them properly

Q: so is it super broken?
A: not really it still has really bad range and friendly fire potential and mechs and impids wont care much about your flames im gonna guess

Q: i dont like the balance i wish it shot slower/did less damage are you gonna release multiple versions?
A: probably not but if you know how to open text files (XML is just text lads not that hard to do) you can just edit the values yourself it not very hard to figure out just stick to editing: warmupTime,damageAmountBase or RangedWeapon_Cooldown and dont mess around with the rest unless you know what they do

Im currently planning on working on my own fire weapon related mod but i suck at art so thatll be a while before thats done cooking but I tought id upload this after I figured out how to work the VEF flamethrower functions.

Shout out to Legodude17 for the patience to help me out

- shout out to this mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2949407070 for reworking the VWE flamethrower should be compatible with my mod from what ive seen of the xmls unless theyre doing something weird in their assemblies im not aware off. Do tell me if any issues pop up

Most recent addition (march 21):
- increased the damage of the VE security flamethrower turret from 2 to 12 and make it hit more often and shoot faster whilst using only 5 ammo per shot instead of 10. so it now shoots 8 times beforea reload instead of 4. it doesnt shoot as fast as handheld flamethrowers but you can spam a bunch of them and this way they dont waste as much ammo so i think its good the way i made em now but feel free to mess with the xml if you disagree. set ammo use per shot to 1 for all i care go wild.
