Sensible Explosives

<p><em><strong>"Sensible" Explosives is a rework of the <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/explosives">Explosives</a> mod that also adds new <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/explosives">explosives</a>-related content.</strong></em></p> <p>Here is a full list of what this mod does:</p> <ul> <li> <h2><strong>Tweaks to vanilla's bombs</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Iron Oxide now a "filler" that lets you craft blasting bombs with less blasting powder</strong></li> <li><strong>Ore and Stone blasting bombs more effective</strong>, <em>blast radius of 4 on a stone bomb is worthless!</em></li> <li><strong>Scrap Bomb buffed</strong>. It has higher range and will at least <em>kill</em> what's standing on top of it now.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li> <h2><strong>Tweaks to <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/explosives">Explosives</a>' features</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Updated recipes for all bombs</strong></li> <li><strong>Updated models for several bombs</strong>, mostly just tweaks</li> <li><strong>Updated descriptions</strong> on all <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/explosives">explosives</a>, with extra text flavor!</li> <li>Removed <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/explosives">Explosives</a>' stone breaker bomb since the stone blasting bomb exists in vanilla now</li> <li><strong>Ceramic Bomb (Pot) blast radius to 5 (from 4)</strong>. <em>Friend of mine used this to tunnel a canal, so it actually does its job now</em></li> <li><strong>Stone Blasting Barrel blast radius to 10 (from 8)</strong>, more bang for your rather expensive buck</li> <li><strong>Ore Blasting Barrel blast radius to 8 (from 10)</strong>, blasted too much stone instead of ore</li> <li><strong>Reed Shrapnel Bomb tweaked</strong> (I forget what I did to it, to be honest. Small value tweaks.)</li> <li><strong>Flint &amp; Steel durability to 1,000 (from 3,000)</strong>, thing looks like it shouldn't last <em>that</em> long but 1k durability is still good.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li> <h2><strong>New features:</strong></h2> </li> </ul> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul> <li><strong>New explosion sounds</strong>, the vanilla large explosion sound sucks and I have a whole library of Crossout sound effects lying around, soooo</li> <li><strong>New Flint &amp; Steel variants</strong>, you can substitute the flint for a chert stone or a quartz chunk. Purely cosmetic.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul> <li><strong>Shrapnel Bomb turned into Fragmentation Bomb, with size variants depending on what kind of ceramic</strong> you use <ul> <li><strong>Fragmentation Bombs are a hybrid bomb, blasting stone and also having a large damage range</strong></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul> <li><strong>Ceramic Bomb (Bowl), an early game blasting bomb</strong> for people like me who stay in the stone age wayyy too long but there's rocks where I'd like to build my house.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none;"> <ul> <li><strong>500kg Bomb</strong>, a post end-game super blasting bomb with a radius of 30. Incredibly expensive, hard to make, and very destructive.<br><br></li> <li><strong>Steel Bomb Shell</strong>, the primary component to the 500kg Bomb. You can use it like a fancy barrel if you want. <ul> <li>Don't comment about voxels being sent outside the wall of the shell, that is "voxel skipping", a mechanic you should know by the time you're forging this! It's the one recipe where that tech's not useful.</li> <li>Co-op smithing recommended, ideally standing on a slab or lantern to more easily access the inside. Also gives you a buddy to complain to about how much the recipe sucks (it sucks!).</li> <li>You will be "staircasing" a lot toward the end. Don't worry about using Split too much, you get maybe 20 - 30 or so voxels' worth of leeway.</li> <li>If you need to pull voxels from the bottom, use Split to free up some space to staircase.</li> <li>Yes, I had to make the recipe this painful, and if you don't already know these techniques, it will beat that into you by the time it's done with you.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I would make fully custom bombs if I could code. Terraria's "Scarab Bomb" that blasts a horizontal tunnel is one of those ideas. For now though, what this mod provides should be enough to compensate for what vanilla is missing.</p> <p>This mod was mainly made because of large terraforming projects. Removing an entire mountain from existence would take a very long time of sitting there quarrying rock and getting attacked by drifters at night.</p> <p>Anyway, <strong>leave a comment if any issues arise, and enjoy!</strong> I believe this is feature complete.</p>
