This mod changes the ammo types per weapon, attempting to give each gun type ammo that fits their style, while being unique and viable.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This mod is no longer fuctional and won't be updated. See comments for details.



Old information:

This mod replaces all ammo types with new ammo types, meaning any weapons you already have are not affected. It also adds the uncommon/legendary plasma tiers.

Dmage wise i've balanced guns to no longer have the old dmg fluctuation, now guns with lower rof will always have higher dmg per shot and guns with higher rof have lower dmg per shot.
At tier 10 these should be the new damage numbers / energy costs:
-Shotguns deal 3000 dmg per 75 energy.
-Flamethrowers deal 100 dmg per 2-3 energy, but have a very high rate of fire.
-Sniper Rifles deal 2000 dmg per 66 energy.
-Assault Rifles deal 1200 dmg per 30 energy.
-Pistols deal 1000 dmg per 25 energy.
-Machine pistols deal 500 dmg per 12-13 energy.
-Rocket Launchers deal 2500 dmg per 125 energy.
-Grenade Launchers deal 2000 dmg per 100 energy.

dmg wise assault rifles do around 1200 dmg with a energy cost of 30 per shot. rof lies between 6.5 and 8.5 depending on rarity.

Also adds 3 new legendary randomly generated guns:
The minigun, the magnum and the teslagun.

Drop table alterations:
-Common is now actually the most common rarity, (oddly enough uncommon/rare had higher drop rates previously).
-Common guns can now drop from guards and lower quality chests.
-The avian pirate ship vendors are a buggy bunch, they don't want to confirm to the code changes.
-Instead there's now a new house you can encounter on any planet with a human inside that sells all types of common guns.

And that's pretty much it, crossbows to me make more sense as crafted weapons. (especially since functionality wise they're very close to sniper rifles) and crafted weapons seem more suited as a optional mod due to the player.config conflicts it can cause.


-Compatibility wise:
This mod alters treasure pool files and adds the 2 new plasma rarities. And changes the generatedgun files to adjust damage and ammo types linked. The microdungeon/human npc are coded in a way that they should never cause problems though.
Any mod that also affects these files should lead to errors.

-Installation
Simply extract into the mod folder, the path should be /Starbound/mods/MMNgun/MMNgun.modinfo.
For removal simply delete the mod, though you might want to delete the guns you have before doing so.

If you find any bugs/glitches/problems please let me know.
