Bombs!!!

Description
Overview

Adds a new category of items - explosives. Those can help you mine those pesky hard blocks, destroy enemies and vehicles and clean up unused fences and rails!

To get started, visit the Miner after you return from Sunset Haven and she will have a new explosive quest line for you!

Features

  • Bombs! Five kinds of explosives you can craft at Miner. Small bombs, large bombs, shaped charges, underwater bombs and flying bombs all ready to be used.
  • New resource! To craft bombs, you need to gather a new rare resourcs first.
  • New quests! Miner won't make bombs for you until he learns how and gets all the resources. Embark on two new quests to discover the beauty of explosives
  • Bombs! Er, did I already tell you you can make bombs? What are you waiting for then?

Bombs damage enemies, you, mine tiles around, destroy vehicles, chop down trees and even burn loosely placed items like nets, chests ,rails and more. Be careful and always wear protective gear!

From 1.0.1, bombs give proper experience for damaging enemies. They give no experience for mining.

Bugs and future plans:

  • Currently all the bombs are made only at Miner and Advanced Lab. I plan to make the progression more slow and add more kinds of bombs in the future.
  • When you mine using bombs, you get no experience (but you still get your ores and experience from enemies works fine)
  • The bombs can mine any tile except for bedrock or blackstone. While you might feel this is a big plus, I plan to limit this so they fit into the current story.
  • Magical bombs are not a thing now, but will be! Hopefully :)

If you have any ideas, leave them in the comments, I will be happy to read them!

Bomb Extension Framework

Do you want to make your own bomb mod? Now you can! If you refer people to this one as dependency, adding your own bombs is as easy as this:

<tilesheet id="helium.png" width="16" height="12" /><tile id="helium_bomb" sheet="helium.png" x="0" /><animation id="helium_bomb" x="0" count="20" length="2" /> <object id="helium_bomb_fuse" tile="helium_bomb" animation="helium_bomb" /> <item id="helium_bomb" icon="helium_bomb.ico" weight="1" cost="450" extends="bomb_base" bomb_placement="helium_bomb_fuse" bomb_explosion="bomb_l_explosion" bomb_damage="50" bomb_element="fire" bomb_radius="2" bomb_underwater="false" bomb_flying="true" bomb_ground="false" /> <recipe id="helium_bomb" type="explosives" creates="helium_bomb"> <type id="advanced_lab" /> <item id="saltpetre" count="3" /> <item id="refined_oil" count="1" /> <item id="sulfur" count="2" /> <item id="helium_sac" count="1" /> </recipe>


You just need to define an item extending "bomb_base" and fill in some parameters that should be pretty self explanatory. Of course you should include a recipe and bomb placement animation and if you plan on making a new explosion size, then also explosion animation (but feel free to reuse the existing ones!).

i finished the "laying rails quest and i don't know where to find it i checked all the merchants and they didn't have it where is it at?

how do i get the saltpetre? because I started this quest without finishing the "laying rails" quest and now there is no description to complete the quest even though I have the necessary items

That's a good suggestion and if I ever get back to this mod, I might add it!

what about a trigger bomb? you can use a remote to make the bombs you place explode?

Friendly reminder that the newest version does not mine blackstone anymore. Sorry folks, maybe later I will add some stronger bombs into advanced lab :)

And to make up for this, bombs now give you XP for killing things.

Since there are no bats in the game now, I have given them as a drop to some existing enemies that fit thematically.

Still not sure? It is the Fire Chicken and the Fire Boar

So... where do I get the Saltpetre? (I used the Magic Box & skipped the quest for my experiments)

They used to be purple, but it was changed for some reason. Anyway, you don't *have* to fix it; I just found it funny lol.

Ouch! I though the edges are always bedrock, but apparently not.

Making the explosives only mine tiles with cost < X is on my list, but so far I have not figured it out. I will add the blue rock to a list of exceptions though so you do not get stuck, sorry! :D

On second thought, maybe I should leave it alone .
