Weapon and Suit Parts for Upgrades

The Freelanes update added the ability to upgrade your weapon and spacesuit quality tiers using credits and X-tech.

This mod aims to make this process a little more immersive by introducing craft able, loot able, and purchasable parts for guns and spacesuit in lieu of credits.

The flow of upgrades looks like this:

Normal gun > Calibrated gun = 1 Calibrated Weapon Part Calibrated gun > Refined gun = 1 Refined Weapon Part etc... (higher tiers require X-tech)

Simple parts for weapons and suits are found wherever X-tech is found (likely in a boss chest at the end of a dungeon) and also found in stores. The same goes for Modular Upgrade Components.

Tiered Weapon and Suit Parts can be bought from weapons and spacesuit dealers in most hubs, OR crafted at an industrial workbench using simple parts and parts from the previous relevant tier.

Crafting can look like this:

Calibrated Weapon Parts = 2 Simple Weapon Parts Refined Weapon Parts = 1 Simple Weapon Parts, 2 Calibrated Weapon Parts etc... (Higher tiers require X-tech)

Regular Weapon and Suit Stat upgrades now require Modular Upgrade Components instead of credits in their recipes. They still require you to find the appropriate mod however (Reload speed, ENG resistance, etc...)

Note: For each tier of part: Calibrated, Refined, Advanced, Superior, and Exotic; They are valued at their corresponding credit values for each tier in the vanilla system. Only now your commerce skill can affect how much you actually have to spend on these parts.

Note: Only guns can be upgraded to Exotic quality level, spacesuits cap at Superior (This is how it is in vanilla starfield.) Legendary rank 4 is reserved for legendary enemy traits.

Compatibility Note: I used an injector script to inject the items into leveled lists so it should be compatible with anything, including other mods that add items to these lists.

Make sure to grab the Shattered Space patch as well if you have the DLC, it will distribute the new gun and suit parts to dungeons and vendors in Varuun space!
