🧨 Useable Dynamite

Version 2.0.0 — dynamite is a real item now. Hold it, pocket it, throw it unlit, and light it when you want.

Vanilla sticks light themselves the second they are near a player. This mod stops that for loot and held sticks. Primary finish-cast lights the fuse. Naturally spawned mesa hazard sticks still auto-light when someone walks too close.

Use ModConfig if you want to tweak fuse / blast / VFX live!

Find the mod in the Peak Modding Discord under #mod-releases for issues, reports, or thanks.

💡 How it works

• ✋ Held / inventory dynamite stays unlit until you finish a primary cast (default hold 0.4s, or instant if you set that to 0)
• 🎒 Pockets and backpacks work like a normal item. Pocketing a lit stick snuffs it (configurable)
• 🌵 Mesa hazard sticks still auto-light in their wick radius. Config radius is in meters
• 💣 A lit stick in your hand will still cook you and explode if you hang onto it
• 🧹 Default orb reduction and optional smoke fade help FPS; huge range / visual scale does the opposite

The old fuse-suppress loop is gone. No more fighting the wick every frame.

👥 Who needs the mod

The host must have it or everyone plays vanilla dynamite (self-lights when held).

• Host sends a handshake + gameplay config (Photon 167)
• Clients with the mod use the host's fuse / blast / pocket / throw rules
• VFX and audio stay local (orbs, smoke fade, sparks, mute, volume, visual scale)
• If the host does not have the mod, clients keep vanilla item rules but can still use their own performance VFX
• Guests without the mod cannot pocket or primary-light even if the host has it — they should install it too

🎮 Using it

1. Pick up dynamite (loot, luggage mods, whatever)
2. Carry it around. It will not light just because you are holding it
3. Hold primary to light the fuse, then throw it or run
4. Pocket it to snuff a lit stick (default). Config chooses whether the wick resets to full or keeps what was left

Walk up to a mesa stick in the world and it still lights itself. That is the hazard, not your loot.

Changelog

[2.0.0] - 2026-09-18

Complete rewrite. The old fuse-suppress loop is gone.

Item

• Held and inventory dynamite stays unlit until primary finish-cast
• Works like a normal pocket / backpack item
• Mesa hazard sticks still auto-light when a player walks into wick range
• Hazard radius config is in meters (game now squares it internally)
• Auto-light uses the stick's current position, not the spawn-point cache
• Pocketing can snuff a lit stick and either reset the wick or keep remaining fuse time
• Light-on-throw stamps the wick onto the thrown clone (vanilla destroys the held stick and respawns it)
• FuseTime is applied when a stick lights (primary, throw, or mesa)

Config

• Full BepInEx sections: General, Fuse, Explosion, Item, VFX
• Fuse length, light-on-throw, throw force, carry weight
• Blast damage / range / knockback / ragdoll / item launch / line of sight
• Fuse smoke / sparks, orphan VFX cleanup, mute + volume
• ReduceExplosionOrbs keeps one center blast visual (extra orbs are VFX, not extra damage)
• ExplosionSmokeLifetime fades the boom cloud early instead of deleting it
• Config descriptions note FPS cost / savings
• Removed BurnMultiplier, MassMultiplier, ExplosionMaxTTL, ExplosionAudioMaxTTL, and MaxExplosionOrbs

Multiplayer

• Host handshake + gameplay config sync on Photon 167 (tony4twentys.Useable_Dynamite)
• If the host does not have the mod, clients keep vanilla dynamite rules
• VFX / audio (orbs, smoke, sparks, mute, volume, visual scale) stay client-side
• Each client needs the mod to pocket and primary-light

Identity

• Plugin GUID / Harmony id / config file are tony4twentys.Useable_Dynamite (was tony4twentys.DynamiteFuseCancel)
• Old DynamiteFuseCancel.cfg is ignored — copy values over if you had 1.x settings you want to keep
