Bring o lot of new explosives!

Nice, finally! This mod is such a must, can't live without the lighter as its so much better than the torch! 

Updated for 1.22
-Some recipes a cheaper now
-Some recipes give more bomb, double fun

Collab with uranium expanded?

Make it compatible with another Xskills mod

Ceramic Bombs are not worth their cost / effectiveness:
- This costs a flowerpot to make but blasts too small of an area to be worth the time to set up / special material cost compared to digging out or blasting the same area with other bombs.

Edit: This is the same pitiful blast radius as the vanilla stone bombs! Ugh

My suggestion to fix:

• Taking inspiration from the Scarab Bombs from Terraria, the ceramic bomb could instead be two flowerpots sealed together with clay (blasting power inside), and a fuse sticking out of the seam.
• When detonated, it carves a roughly 4x4 area in a wide / oblong shape, forming a tunnel section. Currently it's just a "small bomb", this change would give it the intended utility

Alternatively,

• The bomb itself (the current one) would be rotated on its side and blast a 4x4 hole forward, rather than a centered blast. This would aid in its intent of being a tunnel blasting bomb.

Been absolutely loving this mod, thanks for keeping it updated! Its been huge for a project near our base where we've been blasting literal mountains.

• Any chance the ore crushing barrel could have its damage to stone reduced?
  • Currently it's just a stone crushing barrel with like 2.5 blocks less of a radius and costing dry grass instead of stone.
  • Leaves too much of a crater, making it pointless to use over ore blasting bombs.

Thank you so much for keeping this up to date! I'm excited to play with it :)

Boom

MrFlame sweet. Thank you

NinjaKid225 yap, reed bomb is good for clearing annoing grass without toching any other blocks. Stone break bomb and stone crushing barrel is good to remove....mountains😅 Ceramic can easy dig tunnels if use properly.

Are any of these explosives useful for clearing massive areas above ground to help with terraforming?

BiggieCheeze Believe me, I would love to throw sticky dynamites myself, but unfortunately, my knowledge of C# is not enough.

Is there a way you could make it so we can throw bombs? because lighting and then throwing them would be really cool

Np dawg, thx for making my modlist 1 shorter now 🤣

FatherSarge Thank you for covering me, bro😃

AgentOfChaos I don't know yet, I haven't checked, but I'll definitely take a look, thank you!

If anyone needs it I patched the recipe for the ceramic bomb: https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/28613

compatability with primitive survival fuses?

Seems like everything is working in 1.21.0-rc4... looks like a small recipe error with whatever use the flowerpot but other than that, seems good

ritinae Thank you! Fixed

Hi! Stumbled upon this on the logs when debugging issues with other mods:

> Entity shape for entity bomb:spark-flintandsteel not found or errored, was supposed to be at flintandsteelmod:shapes/entity/air/spark.json. Entity will be invisible!

Seems like the "shapeByType" property in "entities/spark.json" still refers to the "flintandsteelmod" and not this mod. The domain prefix "flintandsteelmod:" just needs to be changed to point to this mods' assets instead ("bomb:").

Thanks for the great mod, keep up the good work!

This mod has officially transitioned from “content” to “code” status💪Using OmegaHaxors' previous work, I added sparks to the lighter, appropriate sound effects, temporary lighting for the area and update it. It's a small thing, but I'm learning.

Donovius sorry for late responce. Iron, meteoric iron or steel.

What metal is the lighter made from?

Adapted to version 1.20. Release candidates will most likely not break the mod in the future. In 1.20, 2 new vanilla explosives were added: for stone (but destroys ores) and shrapnel against mobs. These vanilla bombs were in the mod, but there are also other types of explosives in it that can also be useful, so I don't see any point in closing the mod

ManManGuy10 nah, I did not make any synergies with xskills

Are these bombs compatible with xskills mining skills that remove penalties and and increase droprates from ores/stone ect?

there is smth like that in primitive survival Dhon, but i didn't tried it, so idk if both mods work together

Maybe instead of forcing chain reactions with cheap explosives, allow to craft a long fuse to put on the ground, like in real life?

TheSlime fixed. That was a "type" bug
Thank you!

Can't craft the rock crushing barrel, is it a bug ?

WickedSchnitzel of course Even if you yourself put explosives in the privatization zone and set it on fire, it will go out. And if someone places a bomb next to a private person so that it must hit something that is planted - it will also go off, despite the fact that it is outside the zone. It is impossible to damage the private territory with explosives.
(Although you can turn everything around it into a lunar landscape, but I didn't tell you that))

Will this respect claims?

We will watch your career with great interest.

Rapidash glad you like it :3

Such delicious destruction! Very cool.
