TL;DR: New sprites and conductor wand rework

Cannonball roundshot got new sprites for single, multiple and full stack.
All melee weapons + Antlerbreaker got new revised texture/sprites
//mostly just old version with slight edits and thicker outline so they could blend in with vanilla artstyle better
//The rest of the range weapons will come tomorrow

Add <stuffCategories> = Metallic

I've finally finished my first ideology playthrough, bad news is that it took me months(Life has not been kind, but again the same could be said for anyone in current year), good news is now I can use the feedback to update this mod accordingly from now on.

MS_ArtilleryCannonBase.xml
//As per Rimworld standard, we wouldn't use specific & technical name as label on anything, but the old "cannon artillery" could be confused with similar content added in by the other mods, hence the changes.
Building/turret's Label & Description changes
//Making this thing more portable, it's not realistic but the old weight wasn't either as it didn't include the carriage.
Mass 985->150 kg
//If we're going to make this thing take 3+7 secs to shoot, might as well make it worth the ammo's steel cost. (Yes, I know the whole gimmick of this mod is "Big damage, garbage acc/firerate" but at least we have to keep it playable.)
Accuracy changes
From (close-short-medium-long)
60%->75%->80%->70%
To
70%->75%->80%->75%
Warm-up & Cooldown adjustment
//Artillery no longer fire instantly at target +10s cooldown, but now take 3s to warm-up and 7s cooldown.
Warm-up time changed from 5 -> 3 seconds
Cooldown time changed from 5 -> 7 seconds
Add <turretBurstWarmupTime> = 3
<turretBurstCooldownTime> 10 -> 7

Texture
Pikebreaker got new sprite.

Minor patch focusing on weapon re-balance.
There was supposed to be a patch similar to this from a few months ago, with main focus being DPS adjustments, however the changes were too drastic for vanilla balance and thus scrapped.
With this new patch's aim being armor penetration nerfs & stopping power buffs, I decided to use this chance to implement the mentioned adjustments, albeit with softened numbers. Should the new damage output prove too much for people, it will be reverted back later on.

Cooldown : 3 => 4
Warm-up : 1.5 => 2
DPS : No changes.

DPS : No changes.

Stopping power: No changes. (Human-sized creature up to Megaspider)
Damage : 25 => 35
Cooldown : 2 => 3
DPS : No changes.

Firespitter
Stopping power: No changes. (Human-sized creature up to Bear/Muffalo)
