Vaults of Vagar

This is my first mod in the Vaults of Vagar series, which aims to introduce weapons, armor and other equipment heavily inspired by Warhammer 40k and, to some extent, Warhammer Fantasy. In particular, this mod introduces a number of bolter weapons to the game, a chainsword as well as a set of power armor. Furthermore, all apparel and weapons are fully compatible with Combat Extended and use their own custom ammunition, including a variety of bolter rounds. In fact, I heavily recommend using this mod with Combat Extended, since vanilla Rimworld makes it nearly impossible to make bolters balanced without breaking the lore, while in Combat Extended their high lethality is offset by high ammunition weight.

Living as clans aboard cyclopean forge-ships, the Vagar are an entirely void-borne people. Since they spend their entire lives surrounded by sophisticated machinery, many Vagar are talented engineers and craftsmen. This is reflected in the weapons they produce: they are bulky, since weight is not as important in the confines of a spaceship, and complex, since tools and maintenance facilities are always readily available. However, these drawbacks are more than compensated by the surprising lethality of Vagar armaments compared to their planet-made counterparts. In fact, many wonder why the Vagar require such deadly weapons, since even a humble bolt pistol can kill most foes with but a single hit.

This mod contains seven weapons:

• “Varta” assault rifle
• “Gryphon” light boltgun
• “Gorgon” bolter
• “Grendel” heavy bolter
• “Enceladus” bolt caliver
• “Basilisk” bolt pistol
• “Balor” bolt revolver
• “Chimera” chainsword

Furthermore, with Combat Extended installed, these weapons use four custom ammo types, included in the mod:

• 6x40mm “Varta” rounds
• 11x28mm light bolts
• 17.8x44mm bolts
• 23x55mm heavy bolts

There are several types of each bolt round type, including Inferno bolts that set their targets alight and Razorstorm bolts that fill the air with deadly shrapnel!

This update brings some bug fixes, but, most importantly, a set of Oakbreaker power armor with a matching bodyglove! This ornate suit of armor offers protection to rival that of the Cataphract set, but at a steep resource cost. It also features an alpha channel, meaning that the signature bronze trim will retain its color if you decide to paint the armor!

Finally defeated the red error spam on launch!
Added a new weapon: the Volkhv machinegun, firing 8x59mm rounds, roughly equivalent to traditional rifle rounds.

Muzzle flashes and smoke trails! The bolters now behave more like they should, belching gouts of flame with every shot and leaving behind thick trails of acrid smoke!
Also added new apparel: the Vagar brawnsuit, which increases the wearer's carrying capacity, and the Hearthguard armor set for those who want a low-tech alternative to the Oakbreaker set.

The Vagar are now present on the Rim! The new Vagar xenotype is well-suited to dwelling deep under mountains of aboard voidships and orbitals habitats. But make sure to secure a steady supply of alcohol, as this xenotype has a ganatic dependency on it. Also this update adds two new weapons: the Branx heavy bolt pistol and the Eurynomos bolt caliver, which are both made to fire the heavy bolter ammunition.
