[LTS]Ammunition - Framework

This mod does not contain any form of ammunition by itself and will require an accompanying ammo pack such as the Simple Ammunition pack or Advanced Ammunition pack, both of which can be found below. This mod's primary aim is to provide the groundwork for ammunition management and requirement for weapons, as well as provide the tools for the creation of ammo diversity for certain weapons like the usage of Full Metal Jacket and Armor Piercing ammunition.

Ever wondered how pawns shoot their weapons using magical ammo conjured from nowhere? I did too, so with this mod, you can create, craft, and use ammo. Depending on which ammo pack you decide to use with this framework, certain weapons will require ammunition just to be able to fire, some ammo packs, like the Advanced Ammunition pack will add ammo types like FMJ, HP, and AP rounds, as well as ammo calibers, providing more depth to combat and resource management.


Rather than storing ammo in the pawn's inventory, the pawn can wear kits! each kit can carry one or more types of ammo, each with its own capacity, the pawn will then use the ammo from their kit as they shoot, there are different types of kits, and they all come in 3 sizes, small, medium, and large, kits can be managed using a neat gizmo, and each ammo slot can be enabled or disabled if you wish to use a specific ammo type.


This ammunition framework supports modded weapons thanks to its highly configurable mod settings, where each weapon can be configured to use whichever ammo category you want, you can even make them require no ammo at all if that's what you wish.


This framework contains a comprehensive configuration menu, allowing for each weapon and kit to be configured, and certain behaviors of the mod to be changed, lets go through the important ones:



The Simple Ammo pack provides just the very basics of ammo management, weapons will fire their original ammunition based on their vanilla stats, and ammo are more general purpose and is primarily based on tech level (e.g. Industrial Ammo, and Spacer Ammo).

---

The Advanced Ammo pack provides a more in-depth take on ammo management, where ammunition provides its own damage profile, while still based on the vanilla damage profile, this version includes ammo calibers (e.g. 9mm and 12 Guage), as well as ammo variety (e.g. 9mm FMJ, 9mm HP, 9mm AP), each ammo variant having their own unique effect.

Other ammunition packs using this framework:

• Just Another Ammo Pack – Adds additional ammo that does not exist in Advanced Ammo Pack (e.g. 40mm grenades, .308 Winchester, etc.).
  
• Beans Ammo Pack – Works somewhat lika simple ammo, but also divides the ammo into various types. Pistol, Rifle, Spacer, Musket ammo etc etc.

Q: Why does this mod not include ammo?
A: This is because the ammo framework has a comprehensive set of features, and I recognize not everyone wishes to go that in-depth with ammo management, or play around with ammo diversity and variety, or they might just not like the vanilla damage profile of weapons, hence, the release of two accompanying sets of ammunition packs, with different depth and complexity, this also allows for other modders to add their own ammo if they wish, that or to make their own ammo pack.

Q: Why can't my pawns shoot?
A: Make sure your pawns have a kit equipped, and said kit has ammo.

---

Q: Does NPC use ammo?
A: Yes, toggleable in mod settings

---

Q: Does Mech and animals use ammo?
A: No

---

Q: Can I mix and match different ammo packs?
A: Yes! there should be no hard incompatibilities between ammo packs, just make sure to go through your gun list and configure them properly.
