its basicly a gun that you load any resorce into it and depending on what you use it has diferent efects

lwt me jsut get the list of resorces and we ca start figureing out what each one could do
solid crater
Sounds like a plan!

My general thoughts: there should be strong patterns here. For instance, all ores should share a similar mechanic and all refined items should share a similar mechanic.
Specifically, I was thinking that ores would give a "shotgun spread" or area-of-effect, and refined items would fire as a single projectile/ray.
What do you think?
small geyser
power is also technicaly a resorce, but we could get around that by just making it so the gun also needs power

that sounds like it could be a good idea

add ammo for shrapnel maybe

Sounds good.

I was thinking that sulfur could act as a flamethrower "triangle", and ammo could shoot little fireballs. Iron/steel were the shrapnel ones in my thoughts.
(Iron being shrapnel, steel being slugs)

guessing amunitons would have there base efects, so;
missiles explode,
emps emit some power drain
nukes make a bigger boom
mines make it fragment more
and tcm does some heat

hyperium makes the projectile hitscan lol

part itself be cheap (as its expenses come by its function)
perhaps practically justified by it being a light occasional flinger rather than a bulky rifled continuous
small geyser
in terms of item weght/damage i'd say it probibly goes something like;
uranium, tristeel, diamonds, steel, processers, hypercoil, coil
main reason tristeel is infront of diamonds is its literaly 3x stronger then diamonds
somehow
balmy skiff
how many resources would u be shooting at once, like just "40 total" or take into acount the stack sizes of resources
shut bronze
perhaps diamond increases shot HP by a lot?
balmy skiff
also mixing resources into one shot ye?
small geyser
yep
do you think 10 items per shot is too littile?
probibly is
could be a baseline
balmy skiff
what if shooting more resources costs more energy, but theres no limit
could have a capacitor module that increases energy storage for bigger shots
shut bronze
have a toggled minimum 👀
small geyser
have something like chaingun mags, being compacters that can hold an editonal 5 items
small geyser
could have a capacitor module that increases energy storage for bigger shots
thats aacttualy a better idea
the variaton would be chaotic which fits fringe
you have like big blasts with everything but the kitcen sink, then a bunch of small ones wich only have sinks
shut bronze
would also be a very welcome way for a cosmoteer to dump steel and other things even if it wasn't that sustainable
small geyser
lol

actualy could be a good weapon for cargo ships
and stations
imagine attacking a cargo ship and they just yeet a voltswagon filled with the backlog of a home depot shelf and a backback nuke at you
solid crater

Ten or twenty is what I was thinking.
solid crater
also mixing resources into one shot ye?
Oh, hang on; that wasn't what I thought this was going to do. Mixing resources makes it a lot more complicated.
shut bronze
part o the funy though
(and fits in some weird mechanic that would incentivise a vanilla demonstration around it)
solid crater
Yeah, I just feel like it'll be more confusing. It would also mean you'd need a lot of different stats for each one to fiddle with, depending on the quantity of each item in the shot!
shut bronze
would be more o a doozy than a thermal resonance lance for sure
solid crater
I'm not particularly creative, and I know others are more creative, but I think that it would be hard to come up with 21 different numerical stats for the different items to each affect!
I'm sure a lot of people would like it, but it feels messy from a game design standpoint--and not in a good way. If you just fired each item for a different, single result, you'd get predictability; you'd get repeatability; you'd get the freedom to make each item do zany things, without having to worry about mixing the effects together in a single shot.
small geyser
could have some of the more comon things be filler items
