Is there a way to fix the durability on these spears? It's an improvement from the wooden spears but the trade off with all the materials you need to craft one makes it seem not so worth it, can this be changed or?

if you break the spear then reclaim the parts aren't broken so you can make it again and it'll have 1/3 of max left so you can use them indefinitely just by having enough screws

gotcha!
Erin  [author] 3 Mar @ 6:39pm 
most likely yes, once i have the time and B42 is more finalized
Construct 3 Mar @ 12:46pm 
@erin sorry if this question is a bother, but will this be getting updated to b42?

It should be compatible with the one for Spears, yes
Husocemy 17 Nov, 2024 @ 2:18am 
is this compatible with simple melee weapon overhaul?
Dark hexit 25 Jun, 2024 @ 6:08pm 
is there a possibility to have a sandbox option to mod the "base weapon" or specific version of the spear to our liking? the blades and spears overhual make this mod obsolete and i would love to be able to use your mod in a game of mine

Hi, we are using this mod on our Roleplay-Server "FallenLands" and I would like to ask if it would be ok to add it to our Modpack, of course with full credits given?

@Francisco Jose no rush was warranted, and template is received and confrimed, thanks for being our hero today!
Francisco Jose 12 Feb, 2024 @ 9:20am 
@>) Sorry for the delay. I uploaded the template!

@Francisco Jose was gonna do the same thing for my pals and you've done it before me my friend. I thank you for your time and efforts in advance XDD
Francisco Jose 11 Feb, 2024 @ 1:10am 
@>) I managed to do a translation template of the mod. I'll post it tomorrow for anyone who wants to translate it to their preferred language. Then anyone can create a patch mod and upload it to the workshop.

would you kindly consider adding translation template for this mod? me and my friends love this mod yet sadly some of them had trouble understanding english so a way to translate could be real nice

I dont like how the spear bent a bit near the bottom, can you add another version with more clean and strait pipe?

Did try this:

Hunting Knife Cond: 10/10
Improved Spear Handle Cond: 12/12
Screwdriver Cond: 6/10
= Improved Spear Hunting Knife Cond: 10/15.

Then, did try this:

Hunting Knife Cond: 10/10
Improved Spear Handle Cond: 12/12
Screwdriver Cond: 10/10
= Improved Spear Hunting Knife Cond: 14/15

So does it factors the condition of the screwdriver?
And also you cannot get the whole 15/15 condition when crafting?
Erin  [author] 27 Dec, 2023 @ 2:55pm 
do remember you have to create a handle to put the different blades onto first
Erin  [author] 27 Dec, 2023 @ 2:54pm 
no recipes required, just search up "Improved" and it should show up since that work is in the name of every spear
Blackjack [®…®] 27 Dec, 2023 @ 2:39pm 
Question, is there a recipe book I need to craft these? I can't seem to find them in the crafting menu. Thanks!

it is max condition
Erin  [author] 10 Nov, 2023 @ 2:57pm 
its not going to be crafted with full condition if the handle is damaged, the handle's current durabikity has the biggest impact, but i'll push a small improvement update too
NovaYue 31 Oct, 2023 @ 3:38pm 
Esta super genial el mod, pero estaria chido poder repararlas :c
Cake 28 Oct, 2023 @ 1:35pm 
attaching stuff onto the handles brings it to no condition still sadly
Personman 26 Oct, 2023 @ 6:13am 
Is this seperate? As in, is this all one recipe? If so, is it possible to make it seperate, like add the handle, the scrap. Something like that
Cake 25 Oct, 2023 @ 9:18pm 
helps a ton, way better than that realistic durability mod, thanks!
Erin  [author] 25 Oct, 2023 @ 9:16pm 
helps*
Erin  [author] 25 Oct, 2023 @ 9:15pm 
when it comes down the the math, current stats for the new version i'll upload tonight have stuff like the shoddier and less effective spears at 1 in 9 chance, and 10 max condition (~90 hits), moderate ones like the hand fork and screwdriver at 1 in 12 chance, and 12 condition (~144 hits), while more "well made" spears like the kitchen and hunting knives, along with the machete, are at 1 in 14 chance, with 15 max condition (~210 hits) hope this hends
Cake 25 Oct, 2023 @ 8:43pm 
fast reply! and glad to hear, i love the design of the spears, was really excited to use this mod! also if you dont know thats fine, but is the max durability in this mod more than the max durability in the realistic durability mod?
Erin  [author] 25 Oct, 2023 @ 8:39pm 
working on it already
Cake 25 Oct, 2023 @ 8:38pm 
metalworking 5 and it has no durability, this mod is great so please fix
HayleX 25 Oct, 2023 @ 4:32pm 
anybody using the mod how much durability do they have?
RyukoT72 25 Oct, 2023 @ 2:57pm 
thank you
Erin  [author] 24 Oct, 2023 @ 10:00pm 
i'll increase durability by a little bit for them all, and make them able to be repaired
黑荣黯墨 24 Oct, 2023 @ 9:31pm 
无法修理,而且做出来的长矛基础耐久很低
It was beyond repair, and the resulting spear had very low durability
RyukoT72 23 Oct, 2023 @ 12:42am 
is there any way to repair them?
hea 22 Oct, 2023 @ 8:24pm 
@Chozu no need to create compatibility mod.
I will add compatibility in SOMW with time.
I just was busy with content update.
For now it's time for more compatibility.
So... SOMW will automatically adjust Improved Spears stats when i release the patch.
Moderator of Tacos don't have to do anything. Just a little time.
Zokkon 22 Oct, 2023 @ 3:30pm 
Being a huge spear fan, I love the idea! I dove into other mods and did a quick passthrough on potential cross-compatibility.

Based upon what I've seen, it doesn't look like SOMW's crit overhaul touches upon Spear damage, so it's compatible in that sense.

In terms of stats, comparing SOMW's tweaks to the Machete Spear and this mod's Improved Spear with Machete show that Improved Spear's stats on that item are more closer to vanilla stats with some improvements, so your mileage will vary depending on the stat differences.

Trying to compare every similar item would be time-consuming, so creating a compatibility mod would be exponentially more work to do.

2 birds with 1 stone, thx
I haven't even started the game with this mod and I'm already loving it
Erin  [author] 21 Oct, 2023 @ 12:34pm 
Yes, it gives a fairly decent amount actually
Krizzy 21 Oct, 2023 @ 12:08pm 
Does making those metal spears add exp into metalworking?
Viperspider 21 Oct, 2023 @ 4:26am 
Thanks!
Althairs 20 Oct, 2023 @ 12:37pm 
Thanks for the answer, good luck with the mod
Erin  [author] 20 Oct, 2023 @ 11:35am 
i haven't personally tested it though, but i imagine you can still craft them fine
Erin  [author] 20 Oct, 2023 @ 11:31am 
should play nice with SOMW perfectly fine, but doesn't have any extended support for it or something like that.
Althairs 20 Oct, 2023 @ 10:37am 
does it work with SOMW? Nice mod btw.
PterribleDactylus 19 Oct, 2023 @ 1:53pm 
Finally! Im surprised we didn't have a metal spear mod yet, maybe ill actually try using spears for once.
