I am trying to figure out why I am getting no tooltip stats for new weapons modules:

When you say you don't see the stats, do you mean you don't see them in the research screen? or the ship design screen?

Ship design screen was missing for sure.



Can't be sure about tech screen but my big issue in other areas is the ship design screen.

Hmmm, how did you implement the unlock for this weapon in the corresponding technology?





If you're not seeing it in the ship design screen that would imply the game is not compiling the stats and displaying them.



The tooltip in the design screen (when you mouse over a component) is not the tooltip that you input into the localization file. The localization file tooltip is only used in the research screen. That's because a weapon tech unlocks three variant of the same component but the hardcode can only compile the effect text of one component at a time. The dev's work around for this is to create what are called fake components, like the one you added above. So the fake component would have the reference to the tooltip, and the technology that unlocks the component would reference the fake component for text. In this way, they can have the research screen display one weapon while unlocking more than one weapon



In short, research screen -> localization tooltip on fake component

design screen -> effect text compiled from the real component
