happy starbound finally added them

rotesteine2535 Requested a type of gun named "Jackhammer"
a fully automatic drum-mag fed 12 gage shotgun made back in 1984.

Alls you need to know is that its a fast shooting DPS style shotgun that will deal damage fast and hopefully in a balanced enough fashion.
there is two to make one from Tungstun and another from Ferozium.
Both come built with a flashlight and the Ferozium one has the ice element.
and both can be crafted at the 1 tier iron anvil.

This was my first time making a custom gun so if you use it give me some feedback or suggestions to tweaks.
its difficult to tell right off the bat if its balanced enough since all starbound shotguns are very lethal point blank but weaker over any other distance.


update 13/08/2016
I gave it some testing now and yeah im agreeing with the comment i've given it a buff. It now does double damage both do.

I did some testing and playing with an iron set of armor and the tungstun jackhammer on a tungstun ore world and I was hitting enemies for 30 damage point blank.
its still not lethal to the general wildlife but it knocks them a fair distance back and can easily be followed up due to its fast fire rate.

Only 3 Pancor jackhammers were ever made. 2 broke. 1 got shipped to Forgotten Weapons Youtube channel.

i have my item saved in a zip file on dropbox now. i was hopping i could send you the link in a private message instead of right here. i trust you with it but im not sure i trust the rest of the world too ^^'

sent you a friend invite if you dont mind me doing so ^.^. if not i will post it here instead.
its not like im making some kind of ground breaking mod here. i understand if you dont want the friend invite considering you dont exatly know me so no worries :)

@BishopCross that is odd but like a million things can go wrong while creating a mod, the fact its not crashing outright is a good start.
.
but sometimes it can be a misspelt word or comma in the wrong place.

I know from plenty of experience the player.config.patch needs a comma at the end of every one but the last one.
.
you could always create a dropbox link and send it to me if you want me to take a look at it.
you have my word that i won't just upload it...I couldn't think of anything more evil than tha. :(

ok.. this is weird..

just to see what would happen i added all of my weapons info to your files and included your info along side mine in the player.config.patch file.

the weapon worked perfectly fine and even appeared in the anvil1 crafting menu when i wasn't in admin mode. but there is still a problem i cant seem to figure out.

the moment i change the items name to my custom name in the .activeitem and .recipe files it vanishes from the anvil's list unless i switch back to admin mode. everything with the weapon works fine except for that.

what could i be missing.. ;(

@BishopCross
its alot to explain. hopefully i can
maybe this'll help. its a copy of this mod. if you extract it you'll see how it ticks.

1.) the first step is to create the recipe for the gun
follow how its done for
recipes\anvil1\weapons\tier2

anvil1 does stand for tier 1 anvil the basic one made from iron
also note that inside that file tungstenjackhammer.recipe you'll see
"groups" : [ "craftinganvil", "weapons", "all" ]
craftinganvil i believe works with anvil1 for it to appear

2.) second part this confused me endlessly but i have a working example to copy and paste around
player.config.patch
basically instead of changing existing files for something to add which can lead to issues adding other mods starbound devs add this feature called .patch once you have step 1 done just put in the recipe name and it should be good.

wish i had one of these in real life lol, just to have it


currently making a weapon mod of my own but i ran into a snag with the crafting recipe.

how were you able to make the weapon appear in the anvil crafting menu without being in admin mode.

needs a buff in my opinion. im playing with nightmare difficulty mod on too so it might be that.
