Version: CoreSystems - 3.0

Weapon Core is a complete rewrite of Space Engineers combat system. The way combat works in this system is very different from Vanilla and many conventions that you are familiar with will be different.

This "mod" by itself does not add new weapons to the game, it is the framework (engine) by which other weapon mod authors may create pretty much any kind of weapon they can imagine.

This mod will convert all of the default vanilla weapons to WC versions. In addition it will remove any incompatible third party weapon blocks from the world, unless you override this behavior in game.

Step 2: Create fresh world, adding only the WeaponCore (No Other Mods!)

Step 3: Create two simple grids, each with a station terminal, gatling turret and reactor. Make sure they are in range of each other and of enemy factions.

Incompatibility

The WC team and many other mod authors receive a constant stream of "bug reports" and confused users due to inherent incompatibilities between WeaponCore and mods based on Vanilla weapons.

If you have incompatible third party weapon blocks in your worlds, are willing to accept loss of functionality and instability you can enable UnsupportedMode by typing "/wc unsupportedmode" in the chat console or by editing the mods world config file.

There is a "ThirdParty whitelist" for known compatible mods, e.g: Beam Drill mod by Gwin.
