Phase-Orbs

For my second mod, I figured I would try something more challenging than a simple mech horn. With a weapon mod of some form being what I believed to be the next reasonable step, I decided to make these Phase-Orbs. I did use the vanilla Magnorbs as a base and made several changes. (While I was at it, I learned how to make them craftable outside of Admin mode)

As the name may suggest, these orbs phase through walls and terrain, allowing you to smack a foe you otherwise could not reach. The orbs also travel a bit slower and hit harder than the vanilla Magnorbs, but have somewhat nerfed knockback. They are also one-handed, allowing you to use a tool or another weapon with them, though they lose their natural ability to block in the proccess.

I had also taken the time to add a slight glow to them, intended to allow you to see where the orbs are going. This light is not a replacement to any dedicated light sources, and is easily outclassed in that department.

The footage shown in the video above shows the weapon in use. Note that the Phase-Orbs were designed with the vanilla game in mind, and uses no assets from other mods. I play heavily modded myself, and both the video and images also show content primarily from the Frackin Universe megamod as well as the Callistan race mod.

(Video watermark due to me grabbing a free video recording program and not immediately knowing how to turn it off. At least there's a basic demonstration of the weapon at work)
