[Mod 11.1] Hi-EX Tank shells

Post by thegreyman »

Super Edit: This project was rolled into my other mod Tankwerkz Unlimted (c) at https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=6751. Head over there for the latest and greatest!


I like the tank, but I was unhappy with the ammunition. The original tank round felt more like an Armor Piercing round, complete with being able to hit multiple foes in a line while dealing significant damage. Great for nests, bad for mobs.

Enter the Hi-EX tank shell. This shell explodes on contact with any object, still dealing decent impact damage to the target, but exploding over a much wider area, comparable to a Hi-ex rocket.

Edit: Thanks to cartmen180 and atgc for help and improvements

is there any way to have this mod on a game that is already running?
it wont appear on my current save that has the tank already unlocked but it seems if i re-do the research it will unlock

I think running "/c game.player.force.resettechnologies()" from the console will help.
"/c game.player.force.resetrecipes()" is helpful when recipes change.

does it replace the existing ammo or do you get a different item?

New item. Cosmetically, it looks the same and appears right next to the old version.

That won't do it. Include this in your data.lua:

Code: Select all

for index, force in pairs(game.forces) do
  if force.technologies["tanks"].researched then
    force.recipes["hiex-cannon-shell"].enabled = true
  end
end

Took the liberty of slapping another icon on it, waiting for something more professional.
