An idea that complements this one nicely... (shameless advertising, yay) http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/pneumo-spear.6521/ A pickaxe or drill or massive mining beard (Hey, how am I supposed to know what we dig with?) that you can select a worthless material on. When you mine this worthless material, it doesn't go into your inventory... it's put into an ammo counter. When in the Right Hand, it goes into battle mode. Use it this way and BAMBAMBAMBAMBAM! You shoot lumps of stone or dirt through enemies. Maybe different materials have different attributes? Stone: Basic Iron: Increased damage Stone on fire: Fire (aduh) Diamond: Piercing, massive damage Anyway, post improvements. PEACE!
No, we got duel wield weapons. we got Saw-off shotgun which easily hold a drill in the other hand I don't think attributes would be in play YOU THINK DIAMONDS R EZY TO FIND THEY PROBABLY SPAM IRONS AND OTHER MINERALS IN THERE! please do not post random idea, I could say "lemme have a gun that shoot chickens so I can eat it"
A "shotgun drill" would mean you wouldn't need to worry about your ammo, where as you would need to be very strict with your ammunition while in caves if you're going to rely on a sawed off shotty. Now onto the actual suggestions, there is a contradiction in your testimon- I mean post. You have stated that it stores useless materials into the drill, while you then stated what sort of damage the diamond does. I don't think diamonds are useless, unless you're suggesting that you can manually place diamonds in there? Also, instead of just firing the different types of stuff you collect, it would be easier to just "convert" them into ammo. Eg. Stone = 1 pellet. Grass = 2 pellets. Shoe = 3 pellets. So instead of relying on the materials, you have to rely on the drill itself for the attack damage, by upgrading it etc.
from what I can tell that is incredible common when dealing with ChaoticGamer. I like the idea though, kinda like a weaker weapon with plentiful ammo.
Lemme translate: We have developers use with and without ammo for shotgun. There is shotgun use ammo in mag, for energy shotgun is infinity ammo there cuz it only use only ur energy and of course what is the possibility that they might have energy saw-off shotgun. I know they had developed that which I hope for they did. What did you think attaching a shotgun with a drill...its too hard swap between shotgun that is semi-shot or auto-shot or pump action with a drill, unless your planning modify the bullet to be a slug shot drill <.<
OKAY I HAVE A NEW IDEA. What about if it filled a clip? Up to 20 or so. 5 dirt for 1 bullet, 4 stone, 3 corestone (ultra condensed stone found near the core of planets?) and ores are usually 1 or 2
i think it is a decent idea but should be rare and not very effective to avoid cheating or not thought of uses
