Mission Statement:

  • This is a mod series themed around Star Wars. It will add fully-functional deflecting craftable slot-loadable crystal-enhanced lightsabers, force powers with a leveling system and skills, a simple quest system to grow your colonists into proper wielders of the force, and classic Star Wars factions to crush your new colony. Each mod can be loaded independently of the others, but also cooperate when loaded together.

I truly can't understand that sense of balancing a LOT of modders have, pouring more resources on something doesn't make it more difficult, but more annoying. It is not engaging, even if i'm swimming in silver at late game ¿why to bother?, why all the effort to get there?.

O wow, I just tried the lightsaber mod! It works really well! Awesome!

I've modified it a little to work with Hardcore SK, just change up the recipe a little, it really give my melee pawns much more utilities!

I'm going to try out the force mod now!

*Shake fist*
You left out the factions Jecrell!

factions is the 'general star wars stuff' part of the mod: 
Blasters - Imperial Uniforms - Stormtrooper Armor - Vibro weapons - Rebel equipment - and of course - Rebel and Imperial factions.


https://github.com/jecrell/Star-Wars---Factions

It's functional, but not finalized - Imperials need one or two more gear items made up (Snow trooper armor) and rebels need a bunch of random stuff. Plus whatever else I end up making graphics for on the side that we decide should be in there (Maybe some furniture and stuff - who knows)

Feel free to hit me up on the project discord if you want to throw down any resources.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do I craft lightsabers? i dont see them in the machining table, is there a special crafting table for them?

XenGrimm

Component bench - we put that lazy huge space-eater to work.

ok thanks! also I noticed an issue where the Lightening storm doesnt seem to do anything, and the force powers that require you to target yourself dont work. I'm assuming these are known issues but I wanted to let you know just in case it had slipped your notice  :)

The light-sabre animation would look better if it rotated around the sword hilt instead of the center of the icon.

We update almost every day (and I don't fiddle with the version numbers much while it's WIP), so the version you have will be outdated. Try a newer version.

If you guys want, I might send you some WiP sprites I made for Mandalorians. I used to work on a different mod, but didn't have enough time to finish it.

Here are some previews if you'd curious how'd they look.

Drop me a PM if you're interested. I'll zip 'em and post on sendspace or somewhere.

@jecrell  Awesome Pic for the Mod and glad you choose the best possible release date :)

I hope Tynan doesn't drop the update bomb on you.

===== EDIT II =====

HOLY SHIT .. I just had my first 2 Lightsword Wielders in Combat ..

Way better than shield bait.

One problem though.
One got downed and dropped an activated lightsabre.
Maybe the sabre got destroyed by fire or rain.
But the active humming won't stop .. I can't find the lightsabre anywhere.
I have a critical stockpile for collecting lightsabres and had a smelting job targeting the missing hilt-type. Both come up empty.
My other lightsabre is turned off. But still my workshop hums like a beehive ..
this noise could even drive Yoda to the dark side ..


( ProTip : do not fight manhunting boomrats in melee )

Sorry my good man. It's a known issue to be fixed (and it's easy to fix) -- probably this weekend. =3

Thank you, thats all I wanted to hear :)


===== EDIT =====

Is dark/light alignment a cause for social fights ?

Luke started a social fight with Vader. Reason Luke did not want to join the dark side.

===== EDIT II =====


Hmm I am not quite sure if I like the mechanic with the interchangeable Focus Crystals

On the other Hand I don't really know where they will come from except from smelting them.
