GR-1 Prototype Gravity Manipulator

Description
Physicists are rolling in their graves at the mere mention of this gun.
-----------------------------------

Have you ever wanted to shoot gravity? Well even if you didn't you'll still probably enjoy this...

This prototype weapon is simply put, a grenade launcher that shoots incredibly dense material. So dense in fact that it draws everything to it with it's own gravity!

Apparently it's "bad for your health" to be near incredibly massive objects though. So we toned it down so the thing wouldn't tear apart planets.

In any case now you have weaponized gravity.
Have fun.

Crafted at a Tier 3 Anvil using: 12 Durasteel Bars, 8 titanium Bars, 1 Silicon Board, 1 Diamond and 1 Teleporter Core.
-----------------------------------
Balanced to be well.... it's not really balanced I did turn down the damage a little though. If I get a few requests I may just wind up turning the damage up a fair bit if it winds up not scaling well.

Made in the same style as my XR-1 Railgun mod, go check that one out sometime as well.

Currently the projectile you fire is a placeholder. While it works and get the job done, I would like to replace it with something more complex and spacey. As well as provide a better idea of how far the gravity well extends. But for now I'm uploading this mod because it's fun to use and I figure other people would enjoy it too.

Please tell me if you encounter any bugs. I'll get working on them right away.

---ANNOUNCEMENT---

I am now updating my mods again! I am reworking the projectile to be a lot more useful by removing gravity and messing with some air resistance. I will also be updating the projectile as well so it looks much better than the placeholder right now! Also recipe tweaks are being made so crafting issues will not come up.


As for anybody wondering if this works in Frackin' universe, unless you are using the base crafting anvil it probably won't. I'll see if I can make a compatibility mod to add the recipe to FU crafting tables, but that will come later.

Is their a way to spawn this gun in? I don't see it in any FU crafting station

@Rek well glad it was sorted out then lol. It completely makes sense that something named "gravgen" would be related to a "gravity" based gun. So I don't blame you for coming here to ask about it!

turned out to be the familiar hoodie mod. never would've guessed.

@Rek It never once references gravgen. It does reference "gravzone" which is the projectile name. The projectile is adapted from the staff code that spawns pull zones. So the only spot I can think "gravgen" would be created is deep in the regular old starbound staff code.

does this mod ever reference something called a gravgen? if so, it's crashing my game whenever i use the wiring station

I think it would be better if the projectile were contable (kind of like staffs that spawn orbs)

I was expecting it could rip apart all materials and objects around it on it's own
