Engi & Artificer Tweaks

Tweaks for Engineer's TR58 Carbonizer mobile turrets and Artificer's projectile speeds. Every value can be changed in-game with sliders through Risk of Options.

Engineer: TR58 Carbonizer mobile turrets

Setting Default Vanilla
Laser beam range 50 m 25 m
Firing engagement range 50 m 25 m
Chase range 100 m none
Sprint while chasing On n/a
X-ray targeting Off Off
  • Laser beam range sets how far the beam reaches.
  • Firing engagement range sets how far away the turret starts shooting. Keep it at or below the beam range.
  • Chase range: in vanilla, a turret only fights enemies within 25 m and otherwise follows you. With this mod it walks (or sprints) toward visible enemies within the chase range until they are in firing range. Set it at or below the firing range to turn chasing off.
  • X-ray targeting: in vanilla, turrets (like monsters) only pick up new targets they can see. Turn this on and they spot enemies through walls, then walk around to get a clear shot instead of firing into the wall.
  • The vanilla leash still applies: a turret more than 110 m from you runs back to you.

Ping to attack

Ping an enemy and all your Engineer turrets (mobile and stationary) switch to it. Mobile turrets chase it past the normal chase range and walk around walls to get a clear shot.

  • The focus ends when the enemy dies, when you ping something that isn't an enemy, or after Ping focus duration (default 30 s; 0 = no time limit).
  • The 110 m leash to you still applies.
  • In multiplayer this needs the host to have the mod.

Artificer: projectile speeds

Skill Default Vanilla
Flame Bolt 160 m/s 80 m/s
Plasma Bolt 160 m/s 80 m/s
Charged Nano-Bomb 80 m/s 40 m/s
Cast Nano-Spear 240 m/s 120 m/s
Tectonic Shards 240 m/s 120 m/s

Tectonic Shards only last 0.3 seconds, so their speed also sets their range (120 m/s reaches 36 m, 240 m/s reaches 72 m).

Settings

  • In-game: Settings > Mod Options > Engi & Artificer Tweaks. Changes apply immediately.
  • Config file: BepInEx/config/com.ewan.EngiArtificerTweaks.cfg

Multiplayer

Every player should install the mod.

  • Turret behaviour is decided by the host's settings.
  • Artificer projectile speed follows the settings of the player who fires.
