CDDA Beam Sword Construction

Adds the beam sword, a powerful and difficult to make endgame weapon made from a crystalized portal shard.

Be warned - the beam sword is quite an exhausting undertaking to create.

Detailed construction information and a full component list can be found on the Wiki tab above.

Constructing the weapon

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
┣━ the outer casing
┣━ a power assembly
┣━ a focusing assembly
┣━ a blade emitter

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
┗━ a focusing chamber for the blade
┗━ a shard of crystal from a portal

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
┣━ an energy channel the portal beam
┣━ the field energizer that keeps the blade ignited
┣━ an energy modulation circuit
┣━ a diamond focusing lens
┣━ the highly dangerous emitter matrix
┗━ a series of ever-looping circuity

Finding the recipe

A new book, Portal Shard Combat Applications, has a low chance to be found in bank vaults.

Finding the beam crystal

The crystal shard can be found in labs and is usually located near portals.

TO DO

• add tiles to chesthole's set
• sort recipes so beam sword is first
• balance out the all construction recipes
• make the crystal shard discoverable without the trailer park mod
• set up the beam sword to have an ON / OFF state
• beam sword sheath? maybe, but only when switched off
• more crystal types? electric would protect you from electricity, flame ignites on hit, defensive has mad parry ability
• melee mods? sounds like a lot of work

Possible melee mods, if I ever get that working..
