Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

55 (71.4%)

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

17 (22.1%)

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

M.U.G weaponry was my interpretation concerning the addition of "mug cannons". To be totally frank, how they function is left to the imagination. M.U.G stands for "Mass Urist Generator", and is a black box that produces a tremendous energy. And somehow, you need mugs to build one.

Looking through the raws again, I overlooked some tiny details. Will need to update them, I will do it today a little bit later.

EDIT: Will also add a text file summarizing the additions.

EDIT2: Oh well, might as well do it here and now.

Weaponry :
- Stubguns (require a stubgun tech datachip obtained from decrypting a datachip)
- Chainaxes and Chainblades (require a chain tech datachip obtained from decrypting a datachip)
- Railguns and Magnetic Disc Launchers (require a magnetic tech datachip obtained from reverse-engineering railguns)
- MUG Cannons, MUG Hammers and MUG Sawblades (require a MUG tech datachip obtained from reverse-engineering MUG rifles)

Ennemy exclusive :
- MUG Rifles

Armory :
- Battlesuits (cover whole body+limbs)
- Combat Helmets
- Battle Gauntlets (cover hands+hands)
- Combat Boots (cover feet+legs)

Encoded Technology Datachips : (sold by entities)
- Uranium refining
- Titanium refining
- Cobalt refining
- Aluminum refining
- Staballoy smelting
- High-Speed Steel smelting
- Titanium Alloy TI 6-4 smelting
- Stubgun technology
- Chain technology
- Battlearmory technology

And of course, all the reactions associated to these items.

I corrected some bits of incorrect info in the raws I posted, here is the link (previous link was updated). Furthermore, some raws were missing in the previous iteration, my bad.

Also, I would like to have your thoughts concerning balance.
Currently, here are the costs :
- 15 railgun slugs/MDL discs = 5 metal bars
- 25 stubgun bullets = 2 metal bars
- 15 MUG ammo = 5 metal bars + 10 inorganic mugs/goblet
- MUG weaponry = M.U.G. (1 uranium + 10 mugs) + MUG wiring (1 copper+1 aluminium) + MUG special components (1 cobalt+1 platinum) + 5 metal bar of Steel/Titanium/New alloys

EDIT: I still need to add some more things, like dangerous reactions results.

[Mr Frog]

Wooooooo Nakeen delivered like a boss (*DEAFENING APPLAUSE*)

Sorry I dumped all of this on you; I earnestly thought I was dividing everything equally but it looks like I underestimated just how much of a pain in the ass reactions can be to work with :V

[Nakéen]

No worries ! I honestly thought it wouldn't take so much time too, but the "perfectionism" got the better of me.
Now I can say I can mod reactions like a boss, haha @_@

To expand on why it took so much time.
For every weapon added, I had to create a datachip and the corresponding encoded datachip. Then a reaction to decrypt it. Then, I had to create one reaction per weapon-grade metal for the weapon, to allow players to choose what to make their weapon out of. Considering we have 10 weapon grades materials, this is 10 separate reactions.

Total : 1 weapon = minimum 3 items to create + 11 different reactions (+another 10 if ranged because of ammo)

And that is when the weapon wasn't made of various components, which added one reaction per component.

Thank you for the applause !

Currently adding dangerous results to some reactions.

For example, MUG reverse engineering has a chance to explode into the face of the operator, cooking him at a temp of 50000°Urist. Hehe.

Will update soon.

[Amperzand]

*thunderous applause*

[Nakéen]

Updated the file (again). Now reactions using uranium can potentially affect dwarves of radiation poisoning.
Some reactions with the new metals can affect dwarves of toxic waste poisoning.
Reverse-engineering can fantastically fail by turning the dwarf into ashes.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/my07rptg0tt5ede/spearbreakers.zip?dl=0

Oh, and reverse-engineering won't yield anything even in case of fail. I was too lazy :x
May increase the odd of success if it happens to be too low. (currently at 20% for MUG and 30% for Magnetic)

Also, a note concerning new metals. I am aware that melting abuse may be a problem with these, but there is nothing we can do to stop that. Initially I intended to make them not meltable by normal standards (by making them non-metals), but it came with its (big) share of problems. 
In the end, the best solution I could think of was to modify the raws of every meltable item so that the yield is inferior to 100% (I didn't do it, just thought of it).

Aside from this, critics/suggestions are welcome.

*long, slow whistle* Dayyyyum, son. Nice attention to detail there.

>Mods announced complete.

>All activity halts.

Good job, Frog. The Spawn apparently got everybody.

[TheBiggerFish]

Yo guise do stuff.

[Nakéen]

Not everything is completely done, I think the nanite paste thingy is left to do. Frog finished the spawns quickly, but he can't post it yet because of the surprises added.

Though it would be nice to have a centralized file to begin testing !

[Amperzand]

It definitely would. If I knew how them shenanigans worked, I'd do it for ya.

[TalonisWolf]

  I herby dub Nakéen the title of 'Nakéen the Perfectionist Machine' in honour of his deadly journey through the lands of Modding Reactions, which I am total crap at.

[Terrahex]

Have you guys still not restarted? XD
