[Release][Tconfig][WIP]Drills and Tools

2/14 Added the ladder to allow block placement nearly anywhere on screen (goes to just about the border). Version uploaded is for 28.3u (beta) so repack for older versions.

1/31/13 Download link updated for latest version. Wondering what else I could add...

Hope this is in the right spot. So I decided I wanted to make drills for nearly every type, as they are a bit speedier and help reduce some of the monotony of using a pickaxe. They are the same stats as the pickaxe brothers, just faster--so for the most part, they're already balanced but need some minor tweaking.

The only difference is in the recipe--they need at least one Iron Chain to work, as well as the original recipe which can be found on the wiki.

Holy crap this is awesome. I hated how there weren't any drills pre hard mode. Thank you for making this. Btw do you think you could post the source?

Sure, I'll need to make a zip file though, so may take a little bit.

This looks like a nice mod actually, i like the techie toolbelt, it helps, as well as how you can make drills out of pre-hardmode bars, gives a bit more use to them.

Added the Luckier Horseshoe as well as fixing the animations for the drills today. If anyone has any suggestions as far as tools go, let me know. I'll probably work on pre-hardmode chainsaws at some point.

Okay...hold on. Doesn't the GPS already include a watch?

It does, and I got this response somewhere else also...I had it include the watch just so the recipe wasn't TOO easy, but I can take it out if people like. Not a big deal to me, honestly.

Those drills look nice, one of the reasons I don't bother starting over is pickaxes. Slow, weak, pathetic pickaxes.

You should also post what stats they have, as making them too overpowered would take the fun out of having to switch out of mining tools and into murdering tools.

To avoid overpowering of recipes, I suggest adding souls. Fright, Sight and Might if you really want people to have to work for the awesome.

I like it, it's a neat little thing to add to the game.

Any plans on making chainsaws as well?

Yes actually, I was just getting ready to work on that.

That's great news. Are those going to be it or is there going to be more stuff for the mod?

Updated with chainsaws, as well as a new shield mixture. Going to upload the pictures for the chainsaws momentarily.

This mod just keeps getting better. Awesome job.

Edit: I don't see the new items in the source folder. Forget to upload them?

Let me change the download and make sure it's right, it's possible I thought I changed it but didn't

EDIT: It's been added, hopefully that works for you.

It's still not working for me.

Interesting...you're right. They're there when I check the .zip on my own computer, then not after being uploaded. I'll get back to you shortly, need to eat then I'll fix.

Try it again. It worked this time for me.

Just downloaded used the installer but it fails to reload the mod. What did i do wrong?

Rebuild the mod.

Oh i see. Now for hours of trying to figure out how to do that.
