Thermonuclear Bomb - Nuke Mod

Mod ID: 944526017

If you know a server that is running this mod, please send me an invite. I would love to play it.


This mod adds 4 new craft-able items to the game: A 'Thermonuclear Bomb', 'Nuclear Device Parts' and 'U-235 Target Rings' and a 'Radar'.

This weapon is beyond powerful. It uses a custom script that allows it to destroy everything within a large radius, without causing much lag or other performance related issues.

The nuke needs to be placed just like you would when building a structure. After that you can access the nuke's inventory and place the 'U-235 Target Rings' inside. You will then be able to initiate the detonation sequence from within this inventory. The sequence will take some time to complete and warn everyone about the incoming blast.
At this point you can abort the detonation and remove the 'U-235 Target Rings' again. The nuke can also be found and destroyed with explosives, which will avoid a succesfull detonation.
If the detonation sequence is allowed to run its course, the nuke will eventually go off, destroying everything in its path.

The Radar is not finished yet and does not sound alarm. I will update the mod in the future and add functionality to it
The nuke can't be destroyed / deactivated on dedicated Servers it seems, I will need more time to fix this.


Follow this link to learn how to create custom crafting requirements for your server.
In order to make customization easier, the bomb itself is crafted with a new resource called 'Nuclear Device Parts'. You can simply increase or decrease how may of those are required.
The 'Nuclear Device Parts' themselves require a lot of items, you can also customize those indiviualy if you wish.
This makes the whole process easy and guarantees you will quickly find a suitable setting for your server.


In order to hide the engrams and prevent players from building nukes, add the following code to your server's Game.ini
OverrideNamedEngramEntries(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_Thermo_Nuke_C",EngramLevelRequirement=0,EngramPointsCost=0,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)
OverrideNamedEngramEntries(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_Thermo_Nuke_u235_C",EngramLevelRequirement=0,EngramPointsCost=0,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)
OverrideNamedEngramEntries(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_Thermo_Nuke_Parts_C",EngramLevelRequirement=0,EngramPointsCost=0,EngramHidden=True,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

I believe if a player has already learned the engram, this will not prevent them from building nukes. So make sure you lock it down before you start your server.
