Composite Runners + Strings Fix
In Kenshi there are two upgrades to Mounted Crossbow and Mounted Crossbow mkII. They are Crossbow Turret Strings (1.1x dmg) and Composite Runners (1.05x dmg). In total it should grant your Mounted Crossbows (And mkII ones) 1.155x dmg (As multipliers in Kenshi well… Multiply) However they are bugged. Whichever one you research last will apply to your Crossbows instead of together. On top of that once you reload the game your Turrets will only have the 1.1x modifier making the 1.05x useless. I have tried modding the 1.05x (Runners) upgrade to boost the damage to 1.155x and require the Strings tech to learn however the game will prioritize the first upgrade after you reload making it useless.
The solution? Merge the upgrades into one.
I give you the Composite Runner Strings research. It requires level 2 tech (Originals were 2 and 3 and figured it’d be fine at 2)
The cost is 3 books (The researches they originate from requires 1 and 2) and "time" is 16 (Both were 8 time) with a total damage increase of 1.155x. I also added the Mounted Crossbow mkII [light] to the improve list as in base game only the Mounted Crossbow and mkII variant were upgraded. If you added a light to it you would suddenly be doing less damage.
Feel free to use this mod, repost it elsewhere or whatever.
