Mushroom Cloud 2

Ported from the Factorio 1.x original Mushroom Cloud by Arcitosr.

Why?

I wanted to experience appropriate feeling atomic weapons in Factorio 2.0

Mushroom Cloud Reborn does exist, but unfortunately it appears its author has abandoned the mod as they haven't responded to bug reports/mod compatibility requests, so I wanted to fix those issues as well as take a stab at porting a mod from 1.x :)

Also now (badly) supports French, and Spanish, in addition to the original German and English.

This mod supports the following mods

It will not support Stopgap Nukes Expansion as Xeraster has internally bundled their own verison of MushroomCloud, and I don't see value in forcing my version overtop.

(Mostly) Original Description

Mushroom Cloud

Introduction

Nukes are fun. Lets make them more fun.

Details

This mod has three key features:

  • Every detonation of a nuclear weapon will immediately unleash a powerful nuclear flash, bright enough to light up your whole screen. Enough nukes provided, you're able to turn night into day - cooperative biter hunting has never felt more apocalyptic. (This feature can be disabled in mod settings tab if bright, flashing lights make you feel uncomfortable)
  • Each nuclear detonation is accompanied by a nice mushroom cloud explosion animation, which was originally created for the now abandoned Uranium Power mod. The explosion ground emanates a reddish nuclear glow that will let you feel the burning heat, even if you are spectating from save distance.
  • Experience different explosion sounds, depending on the distance between you and the place where the nuke set off. If you are far away from the explosion (imagine targeting a biter nest with a M.I.R.V), you'll just hear some echoes. If a nuclear explosion happens within a kilometer or less, the sound will be much more intense. And firing a nuke next to you will result in an earsplitting, awe-inspiring detonation sound.

If you want to see this mod in action, please check out the mod spotlight video created by Xterminator!

Now, just grab some nukes and turn up your speakers - and have fun!
