Strip in-def manufacturing metadata from multiple weapon definitions: remove <WorkToMake>, <recipeMaker> and <costList> blocks across Flame, Gauss, Laser, Plasma and Pulse weapon defs (making them no longer carry crafting/cost entries). Clean up related formatting/element placement (thingSetMakerTags/statBases/weaponTags). Additionally, adjust the high-end Plasma rifle: mark it smeltable and replace its old recipe block with a full recipe configuration (workSpeedStat, workSkill, effectWorking, soundWorking, recipeUsers, unfinishedThingDef), change the research prerequisite and raise the Crafting requirement. Minor stat/format fixes (MarketValue/Mass alignment) included.
Refactor mod extension and comp class references across weapon defs: replace FalloutCore.DeathEffectModExtension and FCPWeaponPositioner.CompProperties_PositionAttributes with FCP.Core.* equivalents in Laser, Plasma and Pulse XMLs. Replace IgnoreConfigErrors.Ignore_ForcedMissRadius entries with FCP.Core.Ignore_ForcedMissRadius. Also add forcedMissRadius (1.1) to Pulse weapon defs to enforce miss radius behavior.
Add missing closing </li> tags in 1.6/Defs/WeaponDefs/WeaponDefs_Laser.xml inside two <comps> sections. This restores valid XML structure for the weapon definitions and prevents parsing/runtime issues caused by the unclosed list items.
Add CompProperties_WeaponBackpack to flame and laser weapon defs (backpackTexPath, scale, drawBackOnlyWhenDrafted and offsets) so weapons display backpacks on pawns. Also add new backpack textures for Flamer_Fuel_Tank and Gatling_Laser_Backpack (north/south/east and base sprites) to Common/Textures/Things/Pawn/Backpacks.
Update WeaponDefs_Laser.xml to use beam projectile types for laser weapons. Replaces various <defaultProjectile> entries (e.g. FCP_Bullet_Laser -> FCP_Beam_Laser, FCP_Bullet_Laser_S -> FCP_Beam_Laser_S, FCP_Bullet_MF_Breeder -> FCP_Beam_MF_Breeder, and specific gatling entries -> FCP_Beam_Gatling_Laser) so laser weapons spawn beam projectiles instead of bullet variants. This aligns projectile behavior/visuals with intended laser weapon effects.
Introduced or updated the <MarketValue> stat for various weapons in Flame, Gauss, Laser, Plasma, and Pulse weapon definition XML files. This standardizes and balances the market values for these weapons.
Corrected XML encoding declarations and ensured proper closing tags and newlines in multiple weapon and damage definition files. This improves XML validity and consistency across the project.
Added <useHitPoints>false</useHitPoints>, <DeteriorationRate>0</DeteriorationRate>, and <Flammability>0</Flammability> to unique energy weapons in Flame, Gauss, Laser, and Plasma weapon XMLs to prevent them from deteriorating or being destroyed by fire. Also added a missing <MarketValue> to the Laser Pistol. This improves the durability and reliability of rare and prototype energy weapons.
Changed the defName of the Sprtel-Wood 9700 laser pistol to FCP_Gun_Sprtel_Wood_9700_Unique to avoid potential conflicts and ensure uniqueness in weapon definitions.
Introduced new XML definition files for flame, gauss, and laser energy weapons, including standard and unique variants. Also renamed WeaponDefs_Energy.xml to WeaponDefs_Plasma.xml to better reflect its contents.
