Psionic Weapons Expanded

A continued version of the mod can be found here: steam://openurl/https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3175470141

A simple weapon mod that adds 10 semi-new weapons into the game!

Unlocked across 5 different research items, these new weapons function just like their vanilla counterparts, with 2 main differences:

1. They're more expensive (and heavier).
2. They give boosts to psychic powers, similar to the eltex staff; though most weapons aren't as effective as the eltex staff's buffs.

Most weapons give simple, even-ish boosts to both psychic stats, but a couple of them grant buffs with a hard lean in one direction.
There are 10 psionic weapons in this "vanilla weapons only" module, all named "Prestige <weapon name>", similarly to prestige armour:
- Recurve Bow
- Greatbow
- Spear
- Mace
- Longsword
- Pump Shotgun
- Assault Rifle
- Sniper Rifle
- Charge Rifle
- Charge Lance (named Psion Lance instead of "Prestige Charge Lance")

Note that prestige melee weapons (Spear, Mace, and Longsword) have specific crafting recipes instead of using the "stuff" system. I couldn't get the colour masking to work in a decent way, so I went for a steel-based construction system instead. Lore-wise, prestige weapons are very specific and must be built and ornamented in certain ways.

Hope you all enjoy my second weapon modding attempt! I asked about weapons like these in the Rimworld discord and people seemed pretty receptive to it. I hope to eventually mess around with other mods like vanilla weapons expanded or the like, but for now, it's 10 vanilla weapons across all tech levels. Oh, and, naturally, this mod requires Royalty. Gotta have psychics to use psychics, after all!
