Rolling Thunder – Pogesque

Description

Get ramping attack speed and stamina reduction per-hit with any weapon! You thought you were fast before? Now you’re even faster!

Introducing: The Rolling Thunder collection! A mod that adds item attachments designed for those who can’t get enough attack speed. Make mid-late game melee and resource gathering satisfying with how quick you can land those blows.

The ‘Rolling Thunder Mod’ has the following effects:

• On hit, provides 5% more attack speed, 0.75% less stamina consumption but 0.75% less damage.
• The effect above stacks up to 10 times, for a total of 50% more attack speed, 7.5% less stamina consumption, and 7.5% less damage.
  • You’re swinging wildly at this point; you can’t make each blow at full strength 😉
• Stacks last 3 seconds before all fall off but refresh the duration with each new stack.
• At max stacks, the buff duration can be increased by 1 second per hit, up to a cap of 10 seconds.
  • This is for those long-winded fights like Day 7 where the zombies are coming, but they might take more time to get to you.

Important things to note:

• This mod can be applied to anything with the ‘melee’ tag, including tools
• The ‘on-hit’ condition only applies to other entities, including their corpses.
• If you switch away from the item with the ‘Rolling Thunder Mod’ attachment, all stacks are instantly lost, and the buff goes away.
  • I’ve tested this well, try to get around it if you want 🙂

For you resource gatherers, there’s the ‘Railroad Driver’ mod with the following effects:

• On block hit, provides 5% more attack speed, 1.5% less stamina consumption, but deals 0.75% less damage.
• The effect above stacks up to 10 times, for a total of 50% more attack speed, 15% less stamina consumption, and 7.5% less damage.
• The ‘on-hit’ condition only applies to blocks, destroying or damaging them.
  • Hitting an entity will instantly cause all stacks to fall off.
• If you switch away from the item with the ‘Railroad Driver’ attachment, all stacks are instantly lost, and the buff goes away.
  • I’ve tested this well, you can try to get around it if you want 🙂

These mods can be crafting at a workbench (no schematic), bought at the trader, or looted. They don’t have a schematic as I’d like anyone with the resources to make them as soon as they can. They’re more of snowball items, anyway, adding to an already strong character.

There is a legendary variant of these attachments called ‘The Blitzkrieg’, allowing you to stack a more potent attack speed buff when hitting ANYTHING. You can only buy it or craft it after acquiring the schematic from the shop or a rare loot drop. Get out there and explore!

This is the mod I’m most proud of now, with how intricate this is, and I’ve learned so much. I might be looking to make a larger mod with more attachments in the same vein, so stay tuned 👀

Can it be used with other mods?

• Yes! I’m curious to see what other mods you can pair this one with, like ‘Club Mods for All‘

Can I use it on an existing save?

• Of course!

Can I use it on an EAC server?

• Sure! It does manipulate the XML code but would not be detected by EAC.
