PI's Ascendant Weapon pack

Description
This mod introduces a brand-new high-tech weapon research path, featuring four distinct tiers of advanced firearms — from improved versions of classic charge weapons to godlike artifacts linked to Archotech capable of distorting reality.

Weapon Tiers

• Improved Charge Weapons — Optimized from the original designs, with enhanced range and accuracy
• Glittertech Weapons — High-performance standard-issue gear from the Glitterworlds
• Terminus Weapons — Final-tier firepower solutions built under extreme resource constraints
• Archotech Weapon Prototypes — Weapons infused with Archotech power, capable of subtly rewriting the laws of reality

The first two tiers are designed to fit smoothly into vanilla progression, offering solid late-game options without falling into the “everyone uses miniguns” meta.
The third tier is tuned for high-difficulty or heavily modded environments, giving your pawns powerful yet balanced alternatives.
The fourth tier requires significant effort to acquire and is intended for extreme combat scenarios — if you're mass-producing them, your world is probably intense enough to deserve them.

Thanks to Addie for contributing art support to this mod, including in-game textures and the preview image.
I really like these illustrations — appreciate your help!

2000+ plasteel? 30+ Good components for the top tier? Ouch!!:-)) But it totally makes sense given how powerful that one must be.
Thanks for the mod, your statement “everyone uses miniguns” is true, thanks to your mod only 1 uses (occasionally) a minigun, love your weapons, you made a good balance costs/benefits and I am enjoying the variety.
