HSR (WeaponCore) Strategic Update November 2020 ( Discontinued

WeaponCore has made it clear, it is hostile to modders who try to maintain their works. Every month, these Files have been damaged, and no assistance or support given to make the work repairing them was ever given. Entire backend sections changed, and invalidated prior knowledge and Codework, resulting in this mod and every other mod I made needing to be repaired. Constantly with no Warning, causing any Mod to be effectively unstable. I can not spend the time, on over 45 mods to repair them every month.

What is HSR?

HSR, is an advanced-weapons-mod counterpart to my HS (Heavy-Series), and is primarily focused on High-End Technology - with numerous multi-Turrets, Seeker-Missiles, most weapons have some kind of specialized feature.

Weapon Specializations & Specs

Each Weapon in HSR, has a focus, and this is detailed in their Description In-Game. That description includes their Ammo, Range, Characteristics\Traits, Reload Cycle, and even resistance stats. This means, you don't need to fumble around, when you browse turrets in the G-Menu, you can read exactly what it does - Some Turrets have multiple-Weapons or extra functions, this stuff is listed in the Description on that Turret.

Strategics are reliant on understanding that Description, for best results: They aren't god-tier, but weapons more effective in their niche than other similar weapon systems - often in range, or firepower.

Anti-Missile-Systems, are mounted onto some Turrets - AMS, is a suggested Turret on any ship. They are the weakness to Missiles.

Tier System

Each Weapon can be divided into 4 Tiers: Tier 1 (Vanilla+), Tier 2 (Moderate Weapons), Tier 3 (Heavy Weapons), Tier 4 (Strategic Class) Strategic, does not eclipse Tier 3, nor 2, it has wide-spread capability. Tier 3, typically is more expensive variants of Tier 2. Tier 1, contains primarily basic-concept weapons, and are the cheapest to enter into HSR style.

You can browse the Tiers, in the G-Menu Side-Bar.

How do I get Rail-Components?

Vanilla Assembler, Components Tab.

How do I get Gel Conduit, Hexagol Plate, Pulse-System, etc?

Make an HSR Assembler Pod (or Chamber), select the blue Components Icon, this is an HSR Production tab called "Technology", this makes components.

How do I get Nanites?

HSR Assembler's Resource Tab, it is visually the 3 odd-coloured Ingots Icon. This handles HSR's specialized resources - if you are using the Tier 1 Stuff, you don't need this, unless making the Cruix. Regular Assembler has access to Iron & Nickle Recipe for slugs, and the Vanilla resource Recipe for Rail Components.

Will the Other InspiredWeaponry mods be like this?

No. HSR is the most complicated. Spinal, HS, CIV, and Midnight will use Vanilla resources, and mostly Vanilla components - any custom will be in the Vanilla assembler.

WeaponCore? How about Vanilla?

Vanilla Does not work - Without stripping every gun back to a single-barrel, or laggy explosive-shots on anything with 2 barrels. Which is hell incarnate, as I tried before, making it not worth the mess. All Animations also wouldn't work on the Guns, nor would Multi-Turrets without Core. And no, I don't need someone to 'vanilla' this. Rather not have that problem , Refer to the Legal Disclaimer.
