    I got all my new weapons finished!  Doing a tiered thing is a lot more work than I thought it'd be, still though its all done and now I can work on throwing a couple more fun things into my chemistry mod before I publish the update. While I was working on it I noticed the mod had gotten to 6mb in size, so I went through and optimized all my .png images down into the < 1kb range in most instances, now the mod is around 1mb or so. Remember to keep your images efficient if you're modding, it can add up over time.

You know what I'd REALLY like is the ability to upgrade random drop weapons to the next tier up at a slight loss compared to that next tier. So like if the next tier up was intended to be twice as powerful it'd get stuff multiplied by like 1.9 or 1.8, so that you'd be able to bring weapons you're fond of along with you for a while but eventually it stops being worth it.

Sincerely. I'm more annoyed though, that crafted weapons are almost always superiour than found ones. I mean make crafted weapons good sure, but I really like finding a new kickass sword in a random chest or off a miniboss. Also for bosses: Turrets. Lots and lots and lots of turrets. Killed the bone dragon in five seconds, the jellyfish in thirty. Turrets are loving amazing.

The Iron Rose posted:Also for bosses: I did this for my first go at the Jellyfish, admittedly. But, you know, 1 pixel turrets out of the 3D printer proooobably aren't a common perk. If a good antifrustration feature in beta when you just can't make it past the Dragon because no SWEET GUNS, THAT YOU CAN'T CRAFT! GUNS GUNS GUNS handy. But are also not stubbornly insane enough to take on the Dragon in a custom prison yard cage match like the first time I fought it way back. Diamond Drilling all those prison bars alone probably took a half hour  That Pistol was slightly more damaging than the Steel Bow, but didn't drain an inordinate amount of energy per shot like one.

I haven't got around to making preview images for any of them, but here's a brief rundown of the Rubium weapons: Devil's Tongue: A very high-power straight flamethrower Plasma Beam Cannon: Fires five purple streams at different speeds - the closer you are, the more damage you'll do Microwave Ray: An upgrade to the Heat Ray that ignores armor entirely Terawatt Laser: Fires really fast ricocheting laser beams Fusion Cannon: Fires a big flaming orb that explodes a huge chunk out of almost any material in one shot Magma Vulcan: Shoots rapid fire lava balls that explode terrain like bombs Sunstream: Shoots rapid fire fireballs in an arc Irradiator: Deploys a static radioactive mist that burns and poisons enemies that move through it

Are they splitting again into Impervium? edit: Shoehead posted:IT'S NERF OR NOTHIN! Aw yeah. edit2:  Adhesive charges can now be wired together! Also, made a change to detonator - figured it was too similar to the satchel charge, so I made a functionality change to it: it is now a safety detonator. Once you activate it, it lights up - it'll detonate once you (and all other PC's, but not NPCs or monsters) leave the area. I figure you lay down a whole bunch of crates of explosives all over the place, then you drop the detonator on them, activate it, and walk away. Poof!

These are just more in a long line of really interesting-looking weapons that I really hope they ask you for permission to add to the base game, where such variety is sorely lacking.

Shoehead posted:We need guns.. Lots of guns The Nintendo lightgun is so instantly recognizable  There needs to be a powerglove item. I don't care what it does. It could be a tech - hold F to stand stationary and greatly increase energy regeneration, perhaps? That sounds really handy for energy-hungry guns.

It is as silly and poorly voiced as it sounds. including Your guys starting off fighting in the sunlight. It of course, ends with them turning to dust in the sunlight once it is all over.

They're made of fabric and water (or tar/blood), there's no real reason for them to emit light. It was a glitch.

You must be a bitter, jaded human being with no soul if you think that. In other words, I think you should make some that do emit light, especially if they can do a splash effect type thing that coats the environment in glowing liquid/paint/etc...

It'd let you throw the baloon and arc it over obstacles, see if it's safe on the other side plus I find it irritating having to spam torches every few blocks I'd rather just coat a wall and be done with it.

Isn't that specific one because they're still using "on fire" lighting as a visual placeholder for all damage-over-time effects?

The White Dragon posted:Isn't that specific one because they're still using "on fire" lighting as a visual placeholder for all damage-over-time effects? It's actually because all damage numbers glow slightly. The Blocked! message for when you take 0 damage does too. Fun Starbound fact for the day. EDIT: The reason poison's especially noticeable is because as Rocketlex said, so many things arbitrarily give off some amount of light that it only really jumps out at you when an enemy takes damage in a remote pitch-black cave.

It was mostly because I copy pasted the files for regular bombs and forgot to take out the light and sparks. I'm not sure why a standard latex water balloon should be brightly glowing and emitting sparks! The paint idea is interesting, i'll take a look at it when I come back around to chemistry. Right now i'm going to focus on my Blattra race mod to see if I can get it finished. The main thing i'd like is more decorative stuff for scientists/chemists to have around.

Man, what the heck is with Reddit? I've never had to use it before Starbound and every time I post something (most recently my Explosives mod) people seem to like it but then like 20% of them vote it down. Who the hell dislikes explosives!?
