Description
Fireworks for everyone!
For when you really need to celebrate something.

Suprisingly, nobody made firework mod yet (or it is burried so deep that i couldn't find), so i did one myself.
This mod is meant for scenarios or mostly creative applications. It is purely visual. It offers over 50 combinations of different shapes and colours of fireworks. It is operational, but still work in progress, so there is stuff missing, things needs adjustments and so on.

  • Items are not yet craftable in survival, but i plan to add that.
  • Sounds, icons, models coming in future.
  • I plan to reduce number of individual blocks and make them customizable instead, but still need to learn how to do that.
  • All firework guns use same firework ammo magazines - it's placeholder for now, with absurd number of rounds.
  • Most of fireworks are based on smallgrid Gatling Gun. Use it the same way - aim and shoot. Be carefull with holding down the trigger. I did leave them at 600 firerate. It can create nice effects, but can overwhelm framerat on weaker machines.
  • I gave up on using turrets, as SE does not save turret's rotation and reset them on every load. Rotors/Hinges are your friend.
  • Handheld firework guns suffer from some animation bug and need to be shot with RMB, otherwise weapon may shoot in random direction.
  • Until i find better solution all the effects are technically edited muzzle flash particle effects of weapons. They are completely non-physical and can not interact with environment.
  • And guns do no damage at all - this is on purpose.
I'm still new to modding, any feedback greatly appreciated.
Hope you'll enjoy some colors.

Keen always builds the inspired additions from scratch, but it's the idea and the proof of concept that lays the foundation. Don't sell yourself short. I haven't done a side by side comparison, but I suspect your firework explosions are better. What would be useful now is a small grid single barrel version that can be placed on a hinge or rotor for directional control and effect. And wouldn't you know it, Keen has just made the assets for it available (*hint- hint, wink, wink)
Again, congrats!

For real tho, I'm glad to finally have fireworks in the game. Its something I've wanted ever since I discovered this mod

Not exactly my mods, but rather the idea itself got implemented. They seem to have created their own version from scratch. But I can still claim I have inspired them, right? ;)

Understandable. I don't know how to mod for crap, but how would ya feel about someone possibly picking this mod up for ya?

Not in the nearest future, i'm afraid. I'd love to give it some care eventually, but life is getting in the way all the time.

Are there any plans to update this mod?

What skybox is that in the thumbnail? Or is that photoshopped?
