Additional Vanilla Weapons Revived

Originally posted by Sam_:

This mod adds 62 new weapons to extend the vanilla weapon tree, with the aim of doubling the number of weapons and technologies in a way that is vanilla friendly. Simply the same weapons in the base game, times two. It adds additional tiers beyond what the base game has, now with 10 tiers of laser, mass driver and missiles.

About
Most weapon sets have been doubled, except Kinetic Artillery, Mass Accelerators and Energy Lances which have 7 tiers instead of 2. The tech cost for each technology in this mod increases exponentially, instead of linearly as the base game does, making the final 10th tier a significant task to research even during end game.

If you play Stellaris like me, you always go for a technological ascendancy, producing as much research as possible. That means by the start of mid-game you have reached the final tier of lasers or mass drivers and you will spend the rest of the game watching the more primitive empires catch up to you. In reality a highly advanced society focused on technology would continue to advance without limits.

With this mod you can continue to advance until end game, way beyond the capabilities of even the Fallen Empires.

• Adds 162 new components
  
• Adds 62 new technologies

• This mod has received a general balance pass, following vanilla ratios and values. Be aware, if you have used the original version of this mod, you will notice a MASSIVE difference.
  
• All weapons have had their proper damage profiles and fire rates corrected to vanilla levels.
  
• Added Medium and Large Auto-Cannons to complete the sets.

• Technology Tier 7 unlock is set to "previously_unlocked = 3" for compatibility concerns with Additional Vanilla Components Revived.

• Additional Vanilla Weapons - ASB Patch
  
• Additional Vanilla Fallen Empires

• Ship Auto Upgrading does not work correctly with the components in this mod. You need to manually replace the final tier of vanilla components with the first tier of components from this mod before standard upgrade behavior resumes. This can only be resolved by editing vanilla files, and not something I am willing to do for this particular mod. Beyond the preexisting icons of course.
  
• Files need better formatting. Ongoing progress...
  
• Appears `no_resource_for_component` has changed/is bugged, and is causing issues with auto-upgrading. Issue happens with vanilla and mod components. Not sure what's going on, looking into it.
  
• Components aren't listed in the technologies as unlocked components. Will add as I can.
