1.3 Update. Trouble not thineself with worry.
-Briefly tested with Frackin' Universe. Works as intended.
-Compatible with NO tech mods that edit the vanilla techs! -- Will look into improving...)


Intro:
I freakin' love the techs in Starbound. No, let me rephrase that:
I freakin' love the modded techs in Starbound. Yet, they don't play perfectly well with each other, forcing me to choose...
Anyway, long humbling story made short and sloppy, this is a mashup of various other tech mods with modifications and balancing of my own.
Take a look:



Spheres do not cost energy to activate. 'Cause that was silly. Sonic sphere still costs energy to charge, though.
Also, when in ball form, you now take 60% less fall damage! So go ahead, leap off that cliff.
If you have any luck at all, you'll probably survive...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distortion Sphere:
Roll faster, jump higher, drop bombs by pressing shift!
It's like metroid all up in here!

Sonic Sphere:
Much higher base speed, better jumps! Halved charge time!
Just race past everything like it was Dark Souls and you were me!

Aqua Sphere:
Toggle boyancy with [space], move much faster in liquids!

Spike Sphere:
Be slow, but sturdy. With armor! 40 Points of it!
That's alot -- that's like an end-game chestpiece! Maybe. I wouldn't know, I'm a filthy casual.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


To-Do:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investigate the possibility of making these tech replacements into techs themselves.
For compatibility, and to preserve the vanilla techs. Mostly compatibility.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can also confirm that the distortion sphere bombs do not work.

if your not to busy sometime, could you perhaps also seperate the jumping and sprinting tech like youve done here? Please and thank you. If your to busy or cant be bothered to do it (idk how complicated it is) then thats oki no big deal :LotusFlower:

My game crashed for no reason, I start the game again, tryed the bombs, and it worked. must've been a irreagularity I got twice.

Don't know what to tell you, I'm afraid. I sure haven't found anything out of order on my end. My last idea is to check your mods folder, though you probably already have. I've got nothing, so best of luck.

UPDATE: I have tryed and failed to fix it, my luck is agenst me today...

I have looked through my mods and found nothing effecting the distortion sphere. I also tryed the unsub-resub thing to no avail. I will try the oringinal xtech if that will fix it.

I just tested it myself with the current version and it's working completely fine. If you have another mod that affects the distortion sphere, this mod may not work. Otherwise, try unsubscribing, waiting a few seconds, and then resubscribing (this has solved an issue before.)

I'm pressing the bomb-drop button in distortion sphere (left shift), but nothing is happening, is there anything I need to use the bombs?
