Star Trek Phaser

Star Trek Phaser

⚠️ Requires BepInEx and StationeersLaunchPad to run ⚠️ In multiplayer, the host and every player must be on the same version of the mod ⚠️ First release: please report any issues

A hand phaser for your Stationeer: stun, kill, heat and mine, all from one battery.

This is a fun, flavour mod inspired by Star Trek.

This mod adds the Phaser, a small swept-handle hand phaser with a lit setting bar on top. Hold the trigger and it fires a continuous beam; right click and it steps to the next setting. It has a safety, and is switched off until you switch it on.

Features

The Phaser

• Hold it and hold the left mouse button to fire. The beam lasts as long as you hold the button
• Right click steps through its four settings. A light on top of the phaser shows which one it is on
• Safety: switch the phaser on and off with the game's own key for a tool in your hand, O unless you have changed it. Switched off, it cannot fire and its light is dark. A new phaser is switched off
• Runs on a battery cell in its slot, like the mining drill. Kill uses the most charge and Stun the least
• Held in its own grip, with the thumb on the controls

The four settings

• Stun (blue): knocks out whoever the beam is held on
• Kill (red): burns whoever the beam is held on. Structures and loose items glow hotter and hotter under the beam until they are white hot, then vaporise
• Heat (orange): warms the air where the beam lands, and will light a flammable mix
• Mine (green): cuts rock at a distance and collects the ore, as a mining drill does

Vaporising

• Whatever is vaporised leaves its heat behind in the air of the room: a structure a lot, a loose item less
• That heat will light a flammable mix, so mind what you vaporise in a room full of fuel
• Out in the open there is no room to heat, and nothing happens

Making one

• Phaser is made in the Tool Manufactory: 5 Steel, 5 Copper, 5 Gold, 5 Electrum, 5 Silicon. The battery is not included

Settings

• ChargeMultiplier (1): multiplies the battery charge the phaser uses
• VaporiseStructures (true): whether the Kill setting destroys structures and loose items
• VaporiseHeat (200000): heat in joules that a vaporised structure leaves in the air of its room; a loose item leaves a quarter of it. 0 turns it off
• OwnGrip (true): hold the phaser in its own grip. Turned off, it is held like the hand drill

In multiplayer the host's settings decide what the phaser does to the world.

A note on shared servers

The Kill setting can remove structures, including someone else's. On a shared server, the host can turn that off with VaporiseStructures.

Goes well with

Star Trek Replicator: make almost any item from power alone.

Star Trek Transporter: a transporter room for your base, pads to beam down to, and a badge to bring you home.

Star Trek Tricorder: a hand scanner for ore, air, life signs, machines and power.

Star Trek Door: an automatic sliding door with an LCARS panel.

Star Trek Force Field: an open archway that holds the air in, with nothing solid in it.

Star Trek Holodeck: a console that turns the room it is in into a holodeck, with the grid and a forest clearing.
