Can safely be added to and removed from existing savegames.

This mod may conflict with other mods that alter MeleeWeapon_Cooldown and RangedWeapon_Cooldown in Stats_Weapons_Melee.xml and Stats_Weapons_Ranged.xml respectively, but I don't know of any mods that modify these two StatDefs.

Works with modded weapons too since this modifies both cooldown StatDefs.

A gun's build quality and condition should affect how well their mechanical parts work and the build quality of a melee weapon should affect how well-balanced or streamlined it is, right?

Well, this relatively small mod does exactly that: a weapon's build quality, whether it be melee or ranged, now has a subtle effect on their cooldown (the time to recover between attacks), and the latter is also affected by the condition of the weapon; a gun or bow in poor condition is going to have worse-performing mechanical parts than if they were in pristine condition.

Another effect that this mod has is that quality bears some relevance to weapons with forced miss radius: you'll now notice a group killing efficiency increase with a higher quality minigun over a lower quality minigun, for example.

Melee weapons benefit less from quality than ranged weapons as melee weapons get a direct damage increase anyway, but ranged weapons get penalized by condition whereas melee weapons stay consistent cooldown-wise regardless of condition.

Marnador for their quality RimWorld-style font.

As is standard with my mods: you may include this mod in a mod pack, and you may derive from this, but please inform me if you're doing so either through here or Ludeon Forums, and give credit where credit's due.
