Adds "Technology" That Lets You Shoot Just About Anything!

Worried about running out of ammo when fighting Biters?

That's why I developed this! Why not just shoot whatever you have lying around? Stone, wood, gears, you name it!

Since these items don't come in magazines, the weapons make up for it by having a chance not to consume the item when firing. It might not be the most ammo-efficient solution, though.

You can also fire materials added by other mods.

How to Unlock

Unlocked by completing Gun Turret and Military technology research.

You can obtain these weapons by converting regular Gun Turrets and Submachine Guns.

Damage Calculation

  • Items with a fuel value (MJ): 2 damage per 1 MJ
  • Raw materials, such as ores: 6 damage
  • Processed materials: Damage calculated based on the cost of crafting them from raw materials
  • Fluids: 0 damage
  • Items with an unknown crafting cost: 6 damage
  • Certain items: 40% of their damage is assigned a special damage type
  • Maximum calculated damage: 200
  • Damage can be further increased through quality and research
  • Some ammunition behaves in absolutely unbelievable ways. Be careful, as some of it can even harm the player!

The 200 damage cap can be removed through the mod settings. With the cap disabled, firing high-tier science packs or processing units can deal enough damage to instantly kill even a Demolisher!

I've tried to balance the damage values to some extent, but some items behave in completely ridiculous ways, so it's probably best not to think too hard about it.
