investment scaling

the most obvious example of how investment stats work is for weapon magazines

this shows how a 0 magazine stat, gives you 4 shots in your shotgun,
and a 50 magazine stat, gives you 6 shots,
and at most, you can fit 8 shots

note how the ranges work: it takes very few stat points to bump 4 up to 5, but a bunch to get 7 up to 8.
the purpose of investment scaling is to control maximums, minimums, and how hard it is to improve/change stats with mods/perks/barrels, magazines, etc.

here's some more information on implementing this kind of thing:
