intro:
there's a rod and spring mod for guns that increases rounds per minute but increases recoil, but no type of mods exist for melee weapons, so i thought, why not add an equivalent to melee weapons? ;p
this modlet adds in two new weapon mods and recipes for them:
all recipes need to be crafted at a metal workbench.
light melee frame:
- 10 generic schematics, 5 forged steel, 5 glue, 5 mechanical parts, 40 scrap polymers - also needs science crafting 3.
- increases attack speed of bladed weapons by 5% and blunt weapons by 10%, decreases stamina loss by 5%, but increases durability loss of the weapon by 15%.
- should be compatible with every other mod, except for its upgraded variant.
- this version of the light melee frame cannot be placed onto legendaries.
light titanium melee frame:
- 20 generic schematics, 10 forged titanium, 10 duct tape, 20 mechanical parts, 80 scrap polymers - also needs master labourer.
- increases attack speed of bladed weapons by 7% and blunt weapons by 13%, decreases stamina loss by 5%, but increases durability loss of the weapon by 12%.
- should be compatible with every other mod, except for its lesser variant.
- this can be placed onto legendaries, but at half of the bonuses (increased attack speed by 3%, blunt by 7%, stamina loss and durability loss remains the same).
- this is meant to be a small, but max upgrade to the regular melee frame.
item notes:
- the regular light melee frame can be found in where you'd find other item modifiers or be given as a reward by traders (same reward levels as the laser sight, burning shaft, etc).
- you can only craft the light titanium melee frame.
- q: "my whack speed isn't affected that much!"
- a: the higher your melee weapon skill is, the faster you'll whack. it's a part of df itself.
- q: "why can't we put the regular frame on legendaries/why are the bonuses halved for legendaries?"
- a: because legendaries already get a significant damage and attacks per minute buff for every mod you put onto it. while 3 or 7% may not be much at first, keep in mind that the bonuses are all additive. it's a part of df itself.
- q: "why are the bonuses so small, the item degradation is too disproportionate!"
- a: because it can be stacked with other mods. 5% less stamina cost is for ""logic"" but keep in mind that you can attach an ergo grip on it, as well; any bigger buffs would be too excessive. plus, the damage of weapons already increase the more mods you put on it; it's not as much as legendaries, but it's still extra damage.
installation:
just drag and drop into the mods folder where darkness falls is. c:
technical notes:
- this is a server-side friendly mod.
- this modlet is only compatible with version 5+ and version 6+ of darkness falls, not with vanilla or any other overhaul; i'd patch it for vanilla, but i have no clue how crafting works anymore on vanilla xd
- this modlet implemented in a non-conflicting way, meaning nothing should conflict with it.
- if you run into any errors concerning this mod, please contact me on the darkness falls discord (discord: celeryy.luniiva) - please do not contact the df team!
