0.7.9 is out! changelog is huge, tons of reworking and tidying up
(I will tidy up this changelog later im extremely tired and needed to post the update before I went insane im sorry!)
Added Gnawer (For rats) commendation (Reactions +1, Strenght +1 and Melee accuracy +1 (Up to 4 max each))
Rats no longer gain Mauler commendations
Added Share Gas Manufacturing Technology (Enables buying of Gas Mortar and Mini-Mortar Shells)
Added Share EMP Manufacturing Technology (Enables buying of EMP rockets and grenades, at a much higher price but more convenient)
Buffed Mini-Mortar Shells, fixed their blast radius, buffed the Mini-Mortar itself too
Buffed Mortar Gas Shell
Fixed Gas Mini-Mortar and Mortar's inventory size AND clipSize (it was 0, whoops)
Fixed Mini-Mortar's bigob sprite
BlackOps Fiber Wire and Tritanium Wire Bracelet now require having researched the Noose
Tritanium Wire Bracelet now needs 1 alloy and 1 durathread to make
Changed the way Non-Standard/Exotic ammo is acquired, they're now locked behind convoys and unlocked gradually
Changed Breaching Ammo to only be able to be bought after being able to make M16 underbarrel attachments since that's the only way to use them
Buffed and gave BlackOps Smart Launcher new ammo, it is now essentially an upgrade to the Milkor (Shoots Proxy HE, HE, Smoke, Blunt, Napalm, Elerium, Teargas, Flashbang and Gas)
Added Dragonbreath ammo to the Kludge, and made its clipsize 6
Added Buckshot and Dragonbreath ammo to Pancor Jackhammer
Added Dragonbreath ammo to KS-23M
Added Dragonbreath to USAS-12 and Auto Assault-12
Added Dragonbreath and Frag-12 to CAWS
Added EMP Ammo to TGL (To keep it interesting and not outclassed by the Smart Launcher)
Added EMP Rocket to Magma Launcher
Added Flechette and Flak ammo to Smart Auto-Shotgun
Added AP Ammo for USP Match (and big clip for USP Match with a big AP clip as well) and Beretta 92/Beretta 93R
Fixed most of the missing manufacture projects for Tritanium ammo
Most LWP and LWP ammo have had their size reduced by one
Changed Tactical Sniper's and M82 Barett's HE random type to 7
Tactical Sniper Rifle's HE blastRadius buffed from 1 to 2 (would love a 2.5 if it was possible or 3 if 2 is still too flimsy), firing bonus from 0.1 to 0.2
Changed QBU-88 regular and AP clip's armor piercing by .05 (.05 more armor piercing than 5.56 to be consistent)
Shotgun Damage mechanics:
Several buckshot and pellet-like ammo now have 50% damage to stun and time
Buckshot has a certain range depending on the shotgun's range (when the shotgun has unique ammo and not shared like the regular Shotgun it will be more accurate, for shared ammo then it's an average)
Tritanium buckshot has more range than regular buckshot before the damage reduction kicks in
Flechette travels for longer than buckshot before losing damage, has much less stopping power but can pierce armor (only 10% Tu damage)
Flak travels even further than flechettes, tritanium version of Flechettes
Dragonbreath has the same range as buckshot but damage dropoff is twice as much, suffers from 15% less armor penetration but can cause morale damage and set things on fire (only 10% Tu damage)
Frag-12 Shells are explosive slugs that can damage armor as well as stun the enemy very slightly (50% TU damage, 25% stun, 20% Armor damage)
Frag-12 and Slugs/Tritanium Slugs have no damage dropoff associated with range, I don't see why they should at least now
Weapons not affected:
Toxi-Gun,Chem-pistol,Chemo-gun all other UAC Weaponry aside from shotgun (They feel solid already), Plasma Caster, Concussion Cannon, Thrasher, M.A.G.M.A. Pulse Weaponry, Razor Shotgun
Everything else including Anti-Tank Rifles, Cannon BS and HE shots has had their RandomType changed to 7
Anti-Tank rifles HE clips have had their minimum blastRadius set to 2, the bigger ones remain unchanged at 3, they also cause damage to armor now
Model SS-41, RT-20, PTRD41 and PTRS41 have had their clip sprites redone, no more ugly expanded AK magazines
Anti-Tank rifles accuracy has been halved (Kneel bonus is 2x accuracy, forgot to adjust accuracy for that) their range diminished slightly and snapRange reigned down so you can't overwatch as easily but the formula for aiming has been changed to use both strenght and firing acccuracy
Additionally the accuracy formula is now the same for all the AT Rifles, the bonus damage from firing accuracy has also been roughly set to be the same, the difference should come from the power and type of the catridge itself
Reworked clip sprites for Beretta 92, Mauser and Makarov's big clips
Added unique sprites for LWP Ammo and HWP AP Cannon Ammo as well as the Flare Projectors on LWP's
Most items should have unique sprites now in general!
Tactical Sniper Rifle now has a snap shot
Changed some internal names to avoid compatibility issues with XCF's convoys, this shouldn't affect anything
Rebalanced Following armors:
Outrunner (Closer to LWP's now, buffed)
Hazmat Suit (Buffed)
Bioexo (Buffed)
Toxisuit (Buffed)
LWP Night versions (reduced night vision to be equal to Nightops more or less, same with camouflage at day)}
Set radar ranges to motorcycle to not use default (It could be used to scout bases for free...)
Added 3 Pintle mounts to B-52 Stratofortress

Changed some paperdoll layers to be more in line with XCF's
Added Shield for Liquidator and Assault Suit/Stormtrooper Armor
Added Raging Kludge 513 and BlackOps Executioner as well as a 7-round version of the Kludge (the first ones are chambered in .454 casull, 28 gauge but can only carry 5 rounds... they're also notoriously hard to use without good aim and a strong two-handed grip)
Reduced price of Stratofortress by half, increased HP
Buffed range and damage of the anti tank rifles as Craft Weapons, fixed their sounds and icons as well
Fixed a bunch of Research Lookups
Fixed missing strings for LWP Autocannon's Night version
Added Share Tracite Tech research along with Tracite and Elerium ammo for all the M.A.G.M.A. cannons and a Tracite Rocket for the Launcher
All cannons, light-handed cannon, anti-tank rifles, tactical sniper rifle and both of the super heavy machine guns now have slight accuracy bonus from strenght (Miniguns might become a bit op with these so I dind't add it to them)
Adjusted spawn rate of Tier 3 cultists (Leaders/Logistics NOT the convoy specific ones!) on Medium Convoys, they're no longer guaranteed to spawn (don't know if I should remove them altogether, I don't want the progression to be easier for the cultists)
There is now ufopaedia articles dedicated to explaining the new ammo types as well as the changes to buckshot/HE ammo
Fixed missing death sounds for the unique Convoy units
PTRS41 now unlocks PTRD41 too
Fixed Hybrid armors showing up before being able to recruit them
Cult Convoys will now keep spawning until you unlock the next tier (Small will stop spawning when Medium is unlocked, then Medium w Large etc, Warehouse unlock will stop Large convoys and Warehouses are still one-time only once cleared)
Cult Convoys/Warehouse will keep spawning even after terminating the cult to avoid having to prolong terminating
Change icon and fire sound for the pintle mounted guns
Fixed some missing convoy spawn requirements
Fixed a spawn node in EXALT Warehouse
Fixed Mini-Mortar shells being buyable after only having Mortar Acquisition
Toned down commendations but Chemist and Arsonist give +4 Psi Strenght at level 10
Arsonist and Chemist now give proper Sanity bonuses
Added Night Scout Drone (Shotgun/Flare, worse heat vision, has some night camo , great night vision, almost no anti camo at day, slightly better anti camo at night than rat, slightly less reactions because of sensors and slightly less fast)
Fixed the RandomType on LWP Flare Clips
Added BS ammo for the door breaker shotgun as well as a snap mode
Fixed misbehaving Warehouse spawn conditions for Black Lotus and Red Dawn

Machine guns have +1 damage (Not the HMG or NSV though)
Miniguns have had their firerate doubled
Rocket Launchers have had their accuracy increased from their measly 5 to minimum of 25 and up to 50 for the more advanced ones
Anti-Tank Rifles start at around 40 and go all the way up to 60ish, tactical sniper rifle does around 70 accuracy
Move Elerium/Tracite ammo for Magma cannons so its a bit more appropite
Streamlined LWP's:
Unlocking LWP's unlock the Machine Gun turret, you no longer have to manufacture individual LWP's for their turrets but you do have to unlock them to swap them
Cannon unlocks Autocannon and Twin Machinegun
Unlocking Night and Plate modifications works the same you still need to unplate/uncamouflage
LWP Machinegun (Can swap to research unlocked turrets freely)--> Camouflaging/Plating Manufacture project --> Night/Plated LWP Machinegun (Can swap to research unlocked turrets freely, night camo'ed/plated of course)
Added missing LWP Riot Launcher ammo manufacture projects
Fixed hit sound for M3 Carl Gustav's Flechette round
Silenced more debug_log lines
Added script for working wieldable shields! They provide two stats: extra Armor in damage calculations and durability
Just equipped you receive the armor bonus and a -10 aiming penalty
As long as they have durability remaining you can prime them to double that armor (and penalty), that will also double the chance to work for side attacks
When durability will be 0 or less due to damage it will automatically unprime itself
Four new shields: Riot, Xeno Combat, Xeno Tritanium, Assault, Stormtrooper
