Version 1.00-094

What's in it?

Weapon Bench with real crafting animations (Start → Idle Loop → End)

A suitable item spawns on the tabletop for each recipe (e.g., M4 components)

Rifle Rack: Visual weapon storage

Resource Rack: New resource Weapon Parts, Ammo Box, Magazine Carton

Helmet Rack: Storage/display for Combat Helmet & Combat Helmet (Night Vision)

Balancing

Production is deliberately time-consuming (several in-game hours) so that equipment is "earned."

With a complete setup, even tough raids are exciting but manageable.

How do I use it?

Build a Weapon Bench → Select a recipe (e.g., M4, AR15L, HK16, magazines, helmets).

The colonist works directly at the bench (animation runs), the item is on the table.

Place finished weapons/equipment in the rifle/helmet rack or have them stored automatically.

You can also craft new resources at the bench and store them in the resource rack.

Compatibility & Android Note

Runs independently; no mandatory dependencies.

Android/Robot: Currently no automatic support because the iRobot mod does not include WeaponBenchWork in Allowed activities, thus blocking it.

Status: "The mod developer should fix this."

Optional workaround (only for those who want it): In iRobot, add Robot class → Allowed activities → WeaponBenchWork. Then bots can deliver and craft.

Save safe: Enabling/disabling in existing saves is not critical (items remain).

Bug Fix (short)

Recipe grayed / missing on the bench:
– Recipe requires Required device interfaces = WeaponBenchInterface
– Manual work on + Activity = WeaponBenchWork + Activity duration > 0
– Recipe not "hidden" (or unlock via research), scenario allowed, skill gates down for testing

Workpiece not visible:
– Entity name correct, bench has Spot2 (otherwise fallback Spot1)

Bot not working:
– Due to iRobot whitelist (see Android note above)

Roadmap / Ideas
