Item Quality?

[zsewqthewolf]

Just out of pure curiosity what will be the weapon output if the gun part was 1 vs the highest 160

I really like to know this just to keep my curiosity at bay, what would be the damage output and how many time you have to repair the weapon after use and all that?

The main element used in crafting determined the base stats of the item, like durability, DR/DT, damage caused.  So using a quality 1 as the base part means your output will always be fairly poor.  You might find it helpful to go through the Crafting section of the wiki, at http://www.underrail.com/wiki/index.php?title=Crafting

You might also find it helpful to look at destroyor's FAQ, but I would absolutely say start with the wiki.  If you want some additional information like item quality you can expect to get in the game, or skill requirements laid out plainly, the FAQ is a good resource.  It's at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=843557165
