This is perfect, and so very much needed when going asteroid mining. Thank you!

Does this mod still function at all

Ok @PassJim , no problem , i understand ^^

the mod is quite literally just an easily accessible command.

i just decided to make it a mod so that it was a craftable instead of having to spawn in a string of text.

I was in College(uk) at the time i made it so i thought it'd be a fun challenge, i'm glad there's apparently people who still use it

much love <3

yes Twisted , we dont need mod at all for get that gun , an admin command can put together some assets and effects for create it.

since development on this has apparently been discontinued, I looked into alternatives and, thanks to some people on the Starbound discord, found this fancy little vanilla "admin item" you can make with commands: https://gist.github.com/macks2008/93718ab772eff9de1c96c24df6143a3b

Is it a new meme like "Does it work with frackin universe?". A gun with exactly the same functionality is already in Frakin Universe!

I haven't touched this mod in a few years now, i'd like to say it does but i don't know if it overlaps with any item ID's so your best shot is to just try it

does it work with frackin universe

I would consider this overpowered for the reason Sir Yeetus XIV mentioned, but even so, it only really matters if you are for some reason unable to beam up & redeploy without losing progress, as that resets your mech's energy anyway

They should be in your basic crafting menu.

Im probably going to sound really stupid but how do you craft it?

This looks a tad bit overpowered, considering how your own energy just replenishes so easily.
I don't care that it's overpowered. It looks awesome, and we needed something like this.

I personally would have made a wrench that did it, just to be fitting haha, but I love the idea. I was just thinking how this needed to be a thing because the mechs are cool to use.

makeshift titan =O
The emperor protects so I'm hoping you'll elaborate on that a bit

The udate looks great, cant wait to get back to repairing my makeshift Northstar-Class Titan :)

Rolled it back to 1.1, going to start tweaking everything and hopefully find the issue since there's some sort of json parse error with the item :/

XD

I've made that mistake before. Oh, btw, I was planning on offering later, but if you want some help, I wouldn't mind helping somehow. I can't draw particularly well, but I've worked on some mods for Starbound before, so hit me up if you want some help.

Yeah, my apologies, someone posted a bug and i 'fixed' it by being a derp and removing some code... troubleshooting now xD

From the looks of it, I came back to play SB in the short window of time that this mod was breaking it. XD

oops, sorry forgot i left that in there, i'll fix it xD

Confirmed that is the cause. Until it is patched, using a older version will work for now x_x
You can do it @PassJ !

Anyhow, good mod, especially with my friend who charges into a freezing planet with a low teir mech >.<

My best guess is PassJ made a copy of the adaptable crossbow in file mechtorch2.activeitem in anticipation of the upgrade, but uploaded it along with a "patch" by accident so now theres a duplicant object with the same name. ._.

my logs say "Cannot parse json file: /item/.../mechtorch.activeitem" and "Duplicate item name 'adaptablecrossbow' found" if it means anything at all.

Suffice to say I'd rather have the gun un-upgradeable than to have it turn the entire game unplayable. Guess I have to unsubscribe till it's fixed.

I am having teh same issue as Tymon. Game imidiately crashes now.

Starbound immediately crashes at startup after this update was pushed.

@ProfileName , Should be fixed now bud

i see no reason to upgrade it as of yet, but i'll get on that. thanks :)

UH OH
I FOUND A BUG
UPGRADE THE GUN AND THEN OH NO
IT SEEMS YOUR WELDER BECAME A PISTOL CALLED
CARTILAGE GUN AND IS INVISIBLE AS SEEN HERE: http://prntscr.com/g40wdk

@Xaliber , it is indeed. i found his mech post on reddit and i also wanted to make a mod of some sort to see how things worked, i figured what did i need the most and so i made this mod from some vanilla assets and a few tweaks since his post required admin privs' and commands to do it i added a way to obtain it in a 'less cheaty' manner and also plan on building on this :)

Is the inspiration for the code from quiqksilver's Mech Repair Gun?

Alrighty then.

once i start working on higher tiers of the weapon the base will eventually be reduced to a peashooter compared to the higher tiers, so don't worry ;)

That doesn't help with the firerate, and I was expecting an update to the repair amount to be less.

it's not intended to do damage since the projectile isn't even technically supposed to be fired...
as for the fire rate, just craft two and duel wield ;)

It does little-to-no damage and the rate-of-fire is slow for itself. Maybe make it more rapid and shoot less power out for the normal tier?

;)

PassJ take yo sweet time. dont rush anything :>}

@8bitbiff, @TobyM88, this is something i have planned and i will get around to it once i have some free time, I'm still learning as i go along so bare with me :)

@TobyM88 i really like that idea. dev, got on that

this is a greeeeeeeat idea, nice :D

Itd be neat if you could upgrade it at the upgrade anvil for better efficiency/new look

could you make this more like an actual welding tool, make the particle go more close and not far away, make it a thin flame?

im an idiot > w >

you craft it in your hands buddy, press C

Where do you craft it?

need better textures, but GODDAMN THANK YOU, FINNALY MECHS WILL BE SOMEHOW USEFULL
