5. Steam World (Optional: Use if you want to give your game a 19th century setting.)

Tamias,
great work i need to say.
But i think you should put all 3 topic's into one topic, since they are more or less related together.
Or at last you should add forum link to the other 2 topic, so people can find them easyer.

[Tamias]

Ok, I'll be sure I link all the forum pages together when I get a chance.

[Man_Jones]

Oh so someone actually got around to updating this.

[Canute]

Hi,
just curious, why does the bowie knife got a so much higher DPS then any cavallry saber ?
Bowie 6.58  vs saber  hvy 4.17  light 4.76
Does the sabers got some hidden bonus ?

[Tamias]

@Canute: No, that has to be some kind of oversight, or a glitch. Thanks for reporting it, I'll look into it. Also, are you playing with or without Combat Extended?

[marc0910]

I played some Read Dead recently and really like the gattling gun

[Canute]

Tamias,
without CE. And the saber need some extra DPS too, light saber should have at last same DPS like a steel gladius, Hvy. saber like a steel Longsword.

[Tamias]

@Canute: Are you running any other mods that could be affecting melee weapons? I just checked with nothing but RWP and PrepareCarefully loaded, and got the following figures:

Bowie Knife: 6.54 base DPS
M1840 Heavy Saber: 7.5 base DPS
M1860 Light Saber: 7.27 base DPS

I thought that it might be a quality issue, since that can effect DPS. However, even the worst quality sabers never fell below 6 DPS, so there must be something else causing it.

[Canute]

Yep i got the value's from PC, so they are normal quality.
I am not aware about any mod that change weapons.

But i will look into it maybe i found some.

Edit:
About the spectacles, it remove the head piece of armor even it doesn't cover the same bodyparts.
Spectacles L/R eye's,  cowboy hat  head L/R ear.
Would be nice if you would find a way to wear them both.

Dear OP, is there any plans to add western style objects like saloon doors or bars (like counters from More Furniture) or pianos, etc?

[Tamias]

@Ser Kitteh: I'd love to add some furniture/buildings to the mod. If I can source the art assets (I'm a terrible artist) then I'll definitely make it happen. My priority with the first update is artillery, however, since Steam World disables the vanilla mortar, thus leaving the player with no artillery. I'll be updating the mod in the next few days to include an 1857 Napoleon cannon and a Coehorn mortar, so I'll give some more details then.

[Canute]

Why do you want/need Artillery ?
No siege, no mechanoid happen with Steam world either.
You can just modify a frag grenade into a pole of dynamite, Steam world allready got a pretty strong clockwork grenade too.

1: Sieges can wreck your base if you don't counter back with artillery.

2: Because sometimes you just want to watch a base blow up.

Plus, I like the idea of having an enemy that just wants to blow you up.

[Canute]

1. I never got problems with Sieges and i never build any mortar. It is easyer to kill them before they even build a mortar/sandbags.

And again, you suggest to use steam world, and that mod don't allow Siege.
But if you work with Modcheck tool, and check if steam world is active to surpress your own artilery, it is fine for me ! :-)
