The easiest thing would be a grenade, then a gun. But you shouldn't start totally from scratch for a first mod, try modifying some vanilla content, then make new things using it as a template.

Do your own device, what makes something easy, like a different color digger
or some faster version of vanilla gun... after success into that, one actor,
start by something easy, duplicate the coalition and change something like
the sprite or the code to make it stronger, each day, you'll be able to do more
and more stuff. Some day, if you're lucky and keep up your perseverance,
you'll have to script .lua, which is a tricky ♥♥♥♥♥.

Yeah, everyone changes the mods that come with the game to make their mods. I usually find a Coalition weapon I like and change it to be like I want it to be.

Most modders, including myself, do not actually make anything[entire devices] from scratch, it is usually copy pasted from existing code or edited from a base file.

Don't think that your a poor modder because you copy pasted code from existing devices.
If that were true 98% of modders would be considered 'bad'.

Start at the level described by people who posted earlier - begin with a Vanilla[default] gun and modify it to test out all the variables, after that take it a step further; try to create your own module and Frankenstein your own code from various places to make your own device.

There's an important thing to remember whilst modding: you have to make sure you have fun doing so; i'm sure most of the modders would agree with me, the sense of accomplishment from creating your own playthings is what keeps you playing cortex command.

Great to see someone who wants to learn!

one time i made a customised copy of the coalition assault rifle( with custom textures from paint XD ).

if u want to make a small mod, jucst copy the files from a device you like and edit it.
You will soon do more and more things, and one day maybe you will make mods like UniTec XD.
