Oh, I misunderstood this. It's a gun that creates flares. I thought you could use flares at ammo to shot things.

very helpful

extra crispy

how much does it cost to build and which tier is it

Why does nothing modded appear on the foraging table? I cant see the flare gun in the foraging table on the flares tab

question-does the flare gun do damage since the bullets are flameable and if not can u make it where u add flareguns damage 1 since they don't do alot of damage but makes the target cooked(u khow burning ☞◔ヮ◔☞)

Are there different colors?

GREAT

thats a good idea zankastia

"but you can mod in guns that shoot anything using the item spawn code."

Nah, I prefer your amazing flare gun.
Still, I would like to make the flare stay "on" longer and make the projectile do incendiary damage on contact to enemies.

Technically there isn't a "flare gun" in vanilla, but you can mod in guns that shoot anything using the item spawn code. I highly recommend going through the projectile list and making a gun that shoots all of them at once, it's a lot of fun!

Yes. type /admin to go admin mode. Then copy and paste that code. Free flare gun. type /admin to leave admin mode.

@MasterWaffle do you mean there is a flare gun in teh vanilla game?

Reminds me of the first Alien Vs Predator game. And that's awesome <3

very good

I really enjoy using this mod as the flare gun is very, very useful in the early game. But it took me about a month to realize I don't need to bring along flares because, like every other gun in this game, it doesn't require ammo. It took me so long to get out of the habit of pressing R after shooting because doing that did nothing but it completely skipped my brain that I didn't need to bring along a stack of flares.

.

Vanilla Flare gun. No mods required. For those with too many mods:

/spawnitem rarepistol 1 '{"shortdescription":"Flare Gun","level":6,"seed":449,"animationCustom":{"sounds":{"fire":["/sfx/projectiles/throw_item_small.ogg"]}},"primaryAbility":{"fireTime":1.5,"projectileType":"flare","baseDps":0,"inaccuracy":0,"projectileParameters":{"speed":60,"power":17.5,"knockback":10}}}'

mmph mph

This thing is well worth 200 Core Fragments. Nice mod!

MMMMPPPHHHH MMMMMPPPHHH, HUDDA HUDDA HUH...

If I fire this in a casino, will some band write a song about it?

You jest had to do it Tesserat.

"There's another settlement that needs you help, General. Oh, before you go, you might be needing this. Use it to call any nearby Minutemen to help."

Just subscribe to it and make sure your friend is too.

If I used direct Multiplayer rather then a Server, how would I need the Mod installed for it to work?

Das som gud shit.

You should only need 200 flares worth of volatile powder, which... makes me realize I screwed up the numbers on this and it's currently 400, which is ridiculous. I'll push a fix to this, reducing the recipe by half.

"but don't want to keep a stack of 999 flares on hand"
You need 999 flares to craft it
the fucking irony

@Arturo: You could always find a Garden planet and go to the mine that it has. Good source of Core Fragments

Aside from the fact that you need to core out an entire solar system to get enough volatile powder, this is a really neat utility.

You could always make patches instead. That's what HybridAir did when he had an idea for an improvement to that other mod I did, and people loved it.

also besides it wouldn't make sense to make a mod out of ideas to improve other mods because it would probably confuse the community of whether or not to choose one or the other.

Sssstab.

Thanks for the info, I may take ya up on that. But in the meantime, most of my ideas are support ideas for the potential limit of improvement that can be made for mods that already exist. I can at least find solace in knowing that people can make use of them and make things a bit better than before, and i'm fine with that much. I'm not after popularity or things like that anyway. I just enjoy watching progression move forward most of the time. I guess I just have that happy to help and go with the flow personality. I also have a tendency to probe ideas all the way to a potential limit for improvement to certain things. Like a deep mirky puddle i know not the limit to it until i stab it and can't go any further without hitting solid rock or packed dirt. A Floran would love that analogy.

You should give modding a try! Google some tutorials, unpack a few mods to see how they work, unpack Starbound's own assets to see how they built the game, there's a really good tutorial here [starbounder.org] on how to do that... Starbound was built from the ground up to be easy to mod, so if you're full of ideas it's a great creative outlet!

another type of flare which would be exceedingly useful would be the sticky flare. i think you could probably use the same setup a sticky bomb has just without all the exploding.

and to be honest i kind of annoy myself with that fact.

the thing is that i have so many ideas that are structuraly sound that people can wrap their heads around but i have no actual skill to impliment them. it's sad but it's the truth.

cool

cool idea

cool. everyone has their preferences. anyway on the note of ideas why not make a flare gun setup similar to the addaptive crossbow but with different flare types? smoke trail, sparkle trail, cave flare, and of course the ground to air burst flash flares. switching between those modes would be holding right click down for 3 seconds and switching colors would be tapping right click. trail flares and stuff for location or signaling would give people a directional HUD telling what color and mode was used when firing, and show them the general direction.

finally i can shoot flares at some douche bags online thank you

I'm pretty comfortable with the current pace.

I have a feeling that if that change were to come, it would be a refreshing change of pace for both your subscribers, and you :).

If you don't want to be bothered by hekler comments, regular comments, ideas and/or bug report comments from mingling with each other and getting too confusingly mixed up to understand, then you may want to make an idea thread and a bug report thread under the discussions tab. This is a page I took note of in the book of common sense from experience of going to other modders paged who have set it up like I have described. It actually works really well to seperate the regular comments from important information regarding possible improvements people can make to their own mods. Then maybe you will find it easier to narrow down on problems or improvements that are worth while concepts and challenges to accept for fun or just because.

hudda hudda huh

As someone who wants to have a light without shooting a weapon, I will love this.
