There is a patch that makes laser weapons craftable. Search the workshop for
[patch]craftable vanilla weapons expanded - laser
and you should find it

oh yeah anyone wondering if it works on 1.4 it appears to work just fine it only adds crafting recipes so it shouldn't cause that much problems . and i still have not found a mod that remakes the laser weapons to be craft able from vanilla weapons expanded lasers.

they did the same things to the laser weaponry making them quest only any mod to fix that

Hey @JACK, I think you can straight up disable the VFEI insect faction in world creation or use cherry picker.

Please update to 1.4

any chance of this ever turning into something that makes the weapons "standalone" / doesn't require insectoids? the weapons are cool but I already don't like insectoids and don't want any more from that mod!

Could you patch this and the viking mod to include the warcasket weapons in VFE Pirates?

thx

Thx for this mod!

Thanks alot, i was looking for this for some time now

Oh you are very right. Thanks!

@cell990 This should work for 1.3 too.

Looking forward to the hopeful 1.3 update for this great mod.

At last! I always see these weapons in the settings lists of my smelters, lockers and weapon racks, but I never actually got my hands on even a single one in a couple hundred hours of play time. Looks like this is finally about to change :-).

@Coldzero It wasn't in the xml but they still have an unfinished model for some reason. Shit weird.

Hmm, maybe I overlooked it but I didn't see it in the code when I was checking. I was probably tired XD glad I could help though :D

@D3L I use CE so yes. They are crafted on the Fabrication Bench.

is this CE compatible?
also, which bench are they craftable from? thanks!

@Coldzero Oops thank you for that. It seems that only the other mod has a problem with this. This mod does create an unfinished model and works just fine. But I just add it just in case.

Only got to testing this around now but both this patch and the Cryo patch don't have "Unfinished" models, so a pawn will spend days crafting the item and if they're interrupted, they lose progress. You can fix this in the patches in the recipeMaker node by adding <unfinishedThingDef>UnfinishedGun</unfinishedThingDef>. It's not the best fix but it's a fix :D
Same goes for the armour which would be <unfinishedThingDef>UnfinishedTechArmor</unfinishedThingDef>

thx man! i never got these as rewards!

@Hagen Nutz Trader can sometimes stock up the insect parts anyway. And the only way you get genome from is too from trader. I see no point in that other than wanting specific part.

okay seeing this I just have a small thought that I was thinking of but I have zero skills in coding
Making the limbs craftable for a medieval playthrough using genomes and meat. You know some crazy magic stuff and having it take like 8 in game hours or something. anyways thanks for this mod it looks great!

It's just right.

:D Thanks :D
