Wailing Moon

Description
Details
Adds a new weapon to the game: Wailing Moon.

This is a hacker class weapon designed to rip apart whatever it can touch. Far too large to be a katana, but not heavy enough be considered a heavy weapon, the Wailing Moon it performs well against armored targets.

Location
Has a small chance to be found in various weapon shops around the world. The Scraphouse is good place to find these. Costs the same as a Nodachi or Falling Sun.

The blueprint can typically be found at the Scraphouse and has a chance to appear at the Catun weapon vendor. It also has a very low chance to appear in UC or Ronin weapon shops. Price is set to 20,000.

Meitou
The Meitou version of the Wailing Moon can be found on General Jang. An import may be required if you want the Meitou version, but you shouldn't need to import if you haven't loaded General Jang into the game yet.
General Jang already has a Meitou Guardless Katana in his hip slot, so he'll have two weapons now. From what I tested, he'll use the Wailing Moon indoors, I think because the Guardless Katana has such a large defence malus.

I may add a custom NPC with the Meitou version in the future, but that will probably be in it's own mod.


First time making a Kenshi mod and working with 3D modeling. Please let me know if there are any issues. Feedback on balancing is appreciated too.

Serrated edges often struggle with fabric armour. This is cause the fabrics often get bunched up and prevent the blade from sliding across. Is it possible to make it so that it specifically suck against fabrics but not heavy armour? I'd say likely not but it's worth consideration.
For the boosts & debuffs I think it should be more specialised, like -5% damage on humanoids, -10% on animals, & +10% on robots and +5% for hivers and other insectoids like skimmers. This'd really emphasise this as a specialised saw-blade.

Excited to try this since I love katanas, sabres and the topper.

You don't seem to be able to critically craft this weapon, is that intended?

can this be made compatible with Meitou Crafting mods if its not already

Awesome model. It still gave me very strong katana class vibes so I personally changed it to that, but the way it looks fits in perfectly with the world

thanks, I'm just trying to figure out why certain artifacts that are meant to be guaranteed aren't there and narrow down which of my mods is doing it
