Description
Spiritual Successor to Better Engineer

With 42.9 ragdoll physics have been added to explosives, this also applies to the items in this mod.
HOWEVER.... currently only thrown explosives use the ragdoll mechanic, placed explosives (even vanilla) work the way you'd expect pre-42.9 explosives to work.
This doesn't mean you can't use triggered items with the cool new ragdoll effects, you just need to link your detonator & then equip the linked bomb to your primary & 'throw' the bomb to land where you want it to be placed.

Makes taking the engineer profession worth more than just the free generator knowledge.
  • A fourth level of remote trigger for extra long distance
  • New Noise Maker as loud as a house alarm
  • 5 New Bombs
  • Recipe to add shrapnel to vanilla Pipe Bombs making them lethal
  • New 1 point Trait to start with a toolbox of engineer goodies
  • Recipe magazine to unlock everything in the mod

Nothing in this mod is locked or gate kept behind the Engineer profession BUT a lot of the main ingredients in the recipes are items that only the engineer can craft by default.
If you have other mods that get you access to craft or loot the vanilla Bomb items then you’ll still be able to use 100% of this mod.

All the recipes are located in the crafting menu in a new tab called Extra Bombs



Extras

A 4th tier of remote detonator, lets you activate from a safe distance (has a 55 tile Range) so you won't get caught inside your own explosions

Flux powder, lets you make your own sparklers out of repurposed welding rods

Napalm Mix, found any of those kids pillows? the ones full of polystyrene balls. Yeah cut them open & mix with some gasoline, now thats some sticky flammable stuff.



Big Noise Generator

The power of a house alarm in your pocket.
Combine with the long range remote or set it on a timer to precisely gather the whole neighbourhood to one location.
Hmmm.... I wonder if a second long range remote linked to a bomb could be a useful combo.



Lightbulb Bomb

A very small explosive (1 tile) perfect for setting traps at choke points like doors or windows.
Due to the small range only the close range motion sensor & a remote trigger can be attached.
Although small, its glass fragments can still one-shot anyone in range & could on rare occasions start a fire.



Napalm bomb

You are legally required to shout ”I cast Fireball” when using these.
These will cover every tile in range with fire, including buildings, loot containers & you, so you’ve been warned.



Lunchbox Bomb

The complete opposite of the napalm Bomb, does not start fires but still does a lot of damage.
Best saved for use indoors or anywhere you care about.
Makes use of either a smoke bomb or an aerosol bomb (good reason to keep hold of that useless insect repellent can) & a choice of shrapnel from nails to lego blocks.

Also available in Pink



Mini Propane Bomb

Bigger range than a Pipe Bomb, not as big as a Propane Bomb.
What else were you going to do with those spare propane lantern bottles?



Propane Bomb

The pinnacle of pyromancy.
The average survivor couldn't even begin to fathom the engineering genius required to conceive of the mind bending level of intelligence to think up such a weapon of war....... duct tape a Pipe Bomb to the side of a Propane tank.
Because of the range of the explosion you CAN’T throw it far enough to not be in the danger zone, so you have to attach a timer or a motion sensor or a remote trigger for it to work.

Save game safe, B42 single player only.

@darkmoriarti Then, do you have any way to make the traits support translation into other languages?
[KUN]喜欢吃皮蛋拌粉 21 Jul @ 10:26pm 
@darkmoriarti You can refer to other mods for reference — for example, single-trait mods like this one (mod ID: 3519916139), I think yours are quite similar. Or you can check the vanilla game's localization format.

I want to promote your mod through short video platforms, and localization is essential for that.

@darkmoriarti
Excuse me, how do I translate the "Electrical Toolbox" trait into other languages?
I tried using the vanilla format and formats from other mods, but it seems like the description might not have any localization support added.
I saw someone using getText("UI_trait_NepOverdrive"), but I couldn't find anything like that in the Lua files.
So when I translated it, I used this format:
UI_trait_EngiToolbox = "电工工具箱"
UI_trait_EngiToolboxDesc = "初始携带电工工具箱(含基础电子元件和实用配方杂志)"
But I'm really confused about how the translation is supposed to work.

When I right-click, an error occurs.
I don't know if it affects other mods.
Is it okay to recover it under normal circumstances?
右クリックでエラーが出ます
他のMODとの影響は解りませんでした
通常であれば回収できるということで良いでしょうか

@yochi as with the vanilla noise maker, to pick it back up after use you use the right click menu. It can be a little tricky if the area is covered in bodies so you may need to move them out of the way

I can't seem to retrieve the Big Noise Generator I placed on the ground.

does this mod still work and is the napalm compatible with the new fire models
darkmoriarti  [author] 25 Jun @ 3:40pm 
@SDgamer All the items in this mod are throwable, with the exception of the Propane bomb, due to not being able to throw it far enough to not be damaged yourself
