GHJ's Grenade Pack

A vanilla-friendly pack that adds 8 additional grenade types for more variety and tactical depth, with a focus on specialized advancements of the vanilla frag grenades. I always felt that the vanilla frag grenades were lacking and a bit clunky to use, although grenades in general had serious potential. This pack aims to address that, with different particular use cases in mind for each grenade variant. These are meant to complement and be used alongside the grenades from vanilla, DLC, and the Vanilla Expanded mod series.

All of these grenades can be produced with the same Machining research as the vanilla frag grenades. They are more resource and labour intensive to produce, but open up new and interesting avenues with their use cases, and are generally slightly superior in performance. This mod does not change the stats of the vanilla frag grenades whatsoever.

This is my first mod for RimWorld and it's a fairly simple one. I hope you enjoy using this mod as much as I enjoyed making it. ^^

Key for the stat cards below:
AP = Armour penetration
SP = Stopping power










Do you want to see the full detailed stats of each grenade type compared against the vanilla frag grenades? Sure, here's a spreadsheet on Notion.[greatheroj.notion.site]

Simple Sidearms (strongly recommended) - Allows your pawns to make use of multiple weapons, including grenades. Simple Sidearms can be easily manually configured in their settings so that these grenades count as sidearms, which I highly recommend doing.

Throw Them - adds a gizmo to target and throw a grenade in the pawn's inventory.

Range Finder - Displays weapon range of highlighted pawns. Handy for planning grenade throws and just in general.

Q: For the satchel charge, can I safely get my pawn out of the blast radius in time?
A: Yes, just don't be careless about it. The satchel charge's 6.67 second fuze delay gives you at least 3 seconds to run for your life after the cooldown finishes. An average healthy human should be able to get well out of the blast radius before it detonates. The precision charge is also safe for this same reason.

Q: Do you plan on updating this mod further?
A: I think it's pretty feature complete, as I set out with a specific scope in mind when making this pack. I'm also a university student, so consistent free time is not exactly something I have plenty of. I will continue to support the mod and likely perform balance tweaks and bug fixes, but mostly feature-wise what you see is what you get.

Q: Are there any known mod conflicts?
A: This should be compatible with most mods. It's a simple XML weapon pack, and doesn't do any overriding. That being said, I also don't play with CE (see below).

Q: Is it compatible with CE?
A: :(

This mod, including all art assets is the original creation of Great Hero J.
