Description

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 and mythic variants of these attachments that are much stronger than the standard versions:

The Blitzkrieg – A marvel of science, provides a more potent buff that stacks attack speed upon hitting ANYTHING.
Hellfire Storm – From ash and brimstone, a ‘Rolling Thunder’ variant that can stack endlessly.
Divine Augment – A gift from above, a ‘Railroad Driver’ variant that can stack endlessly.

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.

Changelogs

v0.3: Mythic Variants, Tweaks, and Bugfixes

Added mythic variants for Rolling Thunder and Railroad Driver
Allow the player to stack attack speed with no cap.
Damage and stamina consumption reduction is capped at a set amount of stacks.
Stack duration is slightly shorter, so keep them going!
Can only be found at high loot tables or bought at a high price.
Requires a schematic to craft, which can also only be looted or bought.
Stats unknown, so get out there and find them!
Added a UI element for buff duration.
This is coded as a secondary buff that only shows the duration of the real buff you’re receiving.
Does not provide any additional effects; Purely for information.
Tweaked the buff duration refresh/increase mechanic.
Old: On-hit, at max stacks, add 1 additional second. If the buff did not have max stacks, set the duration to 3 seconds.
New: On-hit, at max stacks, if the current duration is at least 3 seconds, add 1 additional second. If the duration is less than 3 seconds, set the duration to 3 seconds.
Upon reaching max stacks, it felt like a punishment to keep the buff going. Now it will ensure you have at least 3 seconds instead before trying to give you additional time.
Fixed the junk sledge not benefiting from the attack speed boosts.
Similar to motor tools, they are based on an ammunition system.
This fix only applies to when being held; Placed turrets still see no benefit.
Attempted a solution with no results; Does not warrant delaying this release.
Known Issues:
- The buff % display shows trailing zeros at random intervals.
- An issue with how TFP display decimal values in XML; No real solution.
- Does not impact functionality.

Previous Updates

v0.21: Balance Tweaks and Bugfixes

Fixed an issue with motor tools not getting any attack speed benefit from any of the attachments
- Motor tools are coded like guns, so they need a ‘fire rate’ boost instead.
Adjusted the damage and stamina usage reduction for each attachment to be ~25% less.
- Damage penalties were large enough to discourage survivors from applying this attachment over others.
- ‘The Blitzkrieg’ had its damage penalty reduced by 50%, especially since it’s a legendary variant.
Reduced the cost of ‘The Blitzkrieg’ attachment by 15%.

Added a rare hybrid attachment called ‘The Blitzkrieg’, providing more potent stacks when hitting ANYTHING.
Can only be bought or crafted but requires a schematic.

Stats of the attachment are for you to discover 😉
Buff icons tweaked to provide clarity of the effect.
