@123nick even with the changes they are still a massive gamble and are unreliable I just made it not painfully unreliable
the mod also makes it need less skilled labor like you mentioned

tbh if i were to balance makeshift guns itd probably be in raw material cost and crafting time rather than making them more reliable. their whole shtick is unreliability in combat. instead, if their crafting cost went dirt cheap, crafting time was near instant, and didnt have quality (although i think this is already the case) so even unskilled labor could make em (also reducing crafting requirements might be a good idea too), this could be a niche gun since whenever a turret gets destroyed and leaves behind components that could be enough to throw together 1 or 2 makeshift guns for colonists too use if you have more pawns than equipment.

sorry for dumping all that, i really do like the idea of this mod in terms of giving these guns a niche. i just think itd be cool if they competed in different ways to normal weapons.

I myself personally use progression: equipment

@MetaVandetta23, Thank you a lot. I've been trying to find mods that would prevent my tribal colonies becoming OP the moment we defeat our first/second pirate raid :D

@Kaschey I use "No more weapons bloat", causing enemy dropped weapons either to get thier quality reduced/damaged/deleted or biocoded it for spacer ones.

Along with any mods that affect quality on wepaons effectivness. You could also probably throw in mod that adds like jamming on lower quality. I think with that, more or less balances out, so now when enemy drops say, an assault rifle for your tribal colony. Its not gonna magically make op.

@MetaVandetta23, What mods do you use to weaken the weapons enemies drop?

Finally, a mod that nerfs makeshift rifle. That thing is ridiculously strong for how easily it can be obtained.

Yay, another reexamined mod!

you keep knocking it out of the park

I love the makeshift weapons and I hate the RNG combat, thank you!!

I personaly early on try to play with mods that caused dropped enemy weapons to lower its quality along with durabilty, along with that having affect on weapon effectinves. Granted with that, acess to guns always messes up balance for tribals. I tried couple mods that sort of limit usage to tech level but honestly even that feels meh. I have yet to find a good way to balance this properly.

But thats neither here or there. Good work as always.

That's true it does get a little nuts with tribal I was debating locking it behind something to slow it down but I felt that kinda defeated the point.
I usually play with stuff to techlock me to my current level until I get higher anyways.

Tbh I always found makeshift busted especially for early tribal era, because having something to shoot at tribals early before getting guns was too good to pass up. But this is also a good change. I especially like the addtion of revolver. Thats something that i kind of missed for this.

Nice
