You copied Zeus’ Wrath and named it after a trauma condition for edge factor. That’s not dark humor—that’s weak signal masking as provocation. Rename it, or own that you're farming clicks off pain you’ve never held.

Hey, stop overthinking the fun with wordplay.

Also I am going to credit the Zeus Wrath's mod creator!
While I found his mod after I created my version, his solution helped me to the correct lightning graphics.

Overthinking? Why don't you say what you really mean.

This is what happens when irony becomes your only god.

When you mistake chasing your tail quickly for actual movement.

Good luck with that.

Well arighteousgod, what should it be named? It is a personal thunder strike defense. At least offer some other name

Call it the fool who chased their tail with such velocity they fooled themselves into thinking they were going somewhere.

And in case it’s unclear, PTSD is extremely painful. If you can’t tell.

Local Reactive Lightning Emitter. Time spent thinking—2 seconds.
Thunder is not lightning—it's the auditory consequence of light and rupture.

Send a link to this mod for everyone you know, so you can rub it in my face how Wrong I am!

What "trauma condition" do you think the mod is named after? The closest thing I could find is an AC/DC song...

If this is confusion—time might fix it.
If it’s performance—I won’t indulge it.

I can't really say its a copy of my mod when the way its sed is completely different. I offer a gun/ammo and a turret while this is a personal equipment so the only similarity is the lightning strike which is made by Wube anyways. If anything I'm freeloading more with using a crop of the old beacon sprite crop that someone else had to do by hand.

Yeah the two mods are really different. This one is more about personal safety and that one is more like:
"Hm... what will I do today? Oh I know, let's be zeus and shoot lightning at biter bases to show them who is the boss around here!"

Also pickle, have you tried using that weapon against a demolisher? It seems really op agains them

Haven't tried this mod yet really haven't been on Factorio for a while which is why I've fallen so behind on bug reports.

Hey PickledCow,
Thanks for dropping by! I almost gave up on the idea of making the lightning work when I found your mod, and it proved it is possible and helped me solve it!
And yes I went with a much simpler automated solution (I hate using the discharge defense remote).
