I've commented to let other players know this mod isn't working properly. Just out of curiosity, what made the rifle OP? I'm surprised that an update can have an affect on items defined by XML values.

Also, there's a misunderstanding, as I haven't explained the problems thoroughly: https://i.imgur.com/2vYGl3P.png

I'm assuming an update did, because no one else has said it was an op weapon. Also the requirements to make predtech rifles are alienpowercell, a FULL smgmagazine, and a fpga circuit. Its in the xml, if you look. So if yours only need a empty smgmagazine, and a fpga circuit then something is wrong with your version of the mod. Or was it an incompatibility , did someone modified it for you guys to play with? Or were you just exaggerating? (genuinely asking, no sarcasm)

While alienpowercells aren't exactly rare (if you know what you are looking for) finding them depends on you looking for them, which limits the amount available.

And also they don't have "bad ai" they have barotruma ai, so if they are messing up report that to them. (again I ask that genuinely, barotruma could really use better ai) I quite literally can't code the ai. I wish I could, id have the preds wait to strike while lying in wait, do hit and runs, make it so they can shoot when at range but then swap to melee up close..the things I'd do if I could write ai. Imagine what I'd make my xenomorphs could do?

as for the them being squishy, They have armored bodies like the npcs in cites do, and base ones have 280 hp which a bone thresher has 300 (with no armor), ill run some tests to see whats going on with the hp, they shouldn't be squishy. And ill boost their hp, if I can.

I'm looking into the bomb knives right now so ill test and then either update them or give information on how to use them. If I made them to difficult to use I apologize, and will make them easier to use.

Oh and this is why I made sections, to well avoid have discussions here. as well as to be able to post proof in discussions

Please make empty mags deconstruct into no power cells. Empty alien power cells are as much of a hassle as old ID's
