Spear Traps

Install more than one spear at once?
So I've been frequently asked to have the possibility to install more than one spear at once. I intentionally made it a tedious process because I was afraid it would make it a bit too OP. What's your opinion on that topic?

It wouldn't be bad, BUT ...

- the installation time of 5 spears must be adequate
- aborting the installation will do what? Will he remove all the spears back? Will only keep the
spear installed before the interruption?
- will it be necessary to have the necessary 5 spears with you? I personally install 2-3.

Lots of questions and no positives.

Time saved? Maybe.
Dislike to click 5x on one trap? Sure.

I like the current state, so DO NOT add more features.

I'm posting a message from MixMakMax:

Perhaps I should rephrase the idea. So yeah, installing 5 spears at once with 1 click, yes OP.

Basically make the timer to install 5 spears with 1 click take about the same amount of time it would take to install 1 spear at a time manually, thus it balances it out, and you click less. It's like when transferring logs from one container to another, you transfer each log one at a time, not all at once. It will help make it less tedious for those who are trying to surround a large area with these traps with many many grave traps like this:

Thanks!

BeatlJoe: Thanks for letting me know you like it the way it is, so many people are asking to make it too OP basically, so it's good to know :)

Regarding your questions, here are my answers:

> - the installation time of 5 spears must be adequate

Installation time should take the amount of time to install one spear multiplied by the number of spears (as suggested by MixMakMax)

> - aborting the installation will do what? Will he remove all the spears back? Will only keep the
spear installed before the interruption?

I think aborting the installation should keep the spears already installed before interruption, but cancel the current and next ones.

> - will it be necessary to have the necessary 5 spears with you? I personally install 2-3.

Of course not, it should allow you to install any amount of spears between 1 and 5

It should be implemented in new version 0.0.6. Let me know if that suits your need, then I'll archive this thread.

Thank you for adding the 1 click install multiple spear with multiplier installation time, it works just as I pictured it! Huge bases will benefit greatly with this new feature! Also thanks for patching the inside a car death!
