I'll admit, if we could mod UnderRail, even in terms of something like adding new / changing existing items and editing the icons rather than editing game constants or mechanics, it would really help with the wait.
However, I understand it might not be that simple given how the game was built. Still, you'd think the weapon icons and their statistics have to be a bunch of images and simple lists that could be exposed in the main game folder for .txt file level editing.
