Added a new mission and support for usage on the new VTOL. This version of the mod should be considered final, with the exception of bug fixes.
This mod adds a Rocket Launcher to the game, which fires explosive rockets by using Explosive Powder as fuel.
Installation
Automatic
I recommend you use AstroModLoader, which you can find binaries for at Github.com, to manage this mod with a user-friendly GUI as well as to seamlessly ensure mod compatibility with most other mods you may wish to install.
Manual
You will need a copy of AstroModIntegrator; you can find a binary of it on the Astroneer Modding Discord community or build it from source at Github.com.
On Steam: Place the .pak file in the %localappdata%\Astro\Saved\Paks directory (create it if it does not already exist). Then, run AstroModIntegrator.
On the Windows Store: Place the .pak file in the %localappdata%\Packages\SystemEraSoftworks.29415440E1269_ftk5pbg2rayv2\LocalState\Astro\Saved\Paks directory (create it if it does not already exist). Then, run AstroModIntegrator.
Usage
- You can research the Rocket Launcher for 8,500 bytes, to the right of the Hydrazine Jet Pack.
- The Rocket Launcher can be crafted in the Backpack Printer for 1 Titanium Alloy.
- To use the Rocket Launcher, place one Explosive Powder into the slot on its back, and then activate it through a vehicle, an actuator, or by pressing the context keys with it placed into a backpack aux slot.
- When fired in a backpack aux slot or on a VTOL, the rocket launcher will aim towards where your mouse is pointing. In all other cases, it will fire directly forwards.
- Rockets fired by the Rocket Launcher have the same strength as a piece of dynamite. They can destroy terrain, but not items.
- In adventure mode, this mod also adds a couple of missions related to the creation and usage of the Rocket Launcher.
- This mod works in co-op and on dedicated servers, but needs to be installed on both the client and the server.
- The source code of this mod is publicly available as an example mod on the AstroTechies ModdingKit: Github.com
