Suggestions collection: Embers isn’t death it’s burning Strong, but it could be Stronger.

I heard many people complain about embers which I totally can’t agree with since I love this mod. It may be a bit rough around the edges like the resetting codex or the random inconveniences when you accidentally put your favorite enchanted toll into the melter and it turns to liquid. But I do think it still holds a lot of unused potential with this Dwarven/Steampunky themed tech mod. I personally like themed tech and magic mods that don’t have boring interfaces on blocks, as these would just make them into just another different looking ore procession mod.

And embers does deliver exactly that! Nice looking animation for energy transmission, spinning ore seeds that pop off nuggets, a giant flame that stores energy and a beam cannon crafting system.

And here are some ideas I had that would make for a great addition to the mod and help it compete with the many other mods around.

1. Metal/Ore Seeds need to not be hardcoded items but rather have it automatically generate a seed for every metal in the ore dictionary. It could be created with infusing a base ore seed with the metals in some way or simply crafting. Currently you only get the normal items and can’t get the many modded ores to grow with these seeds you can’t even craft the Dawnstone Seed which is sad I mean who wouldn’t want to grow little ardite nuggets instead of going to the nether all the time.

2. Better Ember borer: I think at some point maybe when you get Dawnstone or some of the special items made you should be able to make an enhanced Ember Borer to support your system it could simply be powered by embers itself and be self-sustaining as well as mine more embers and faster.

3. Weapons: The Staff and the Gun from this mod are already pretty fun to play with. But the Dawnstone hammer for example doesn’t do much you should consider giving the melee endgame weapons a bit of love like a chargeable ground slamming attack that rise flaming pillars on the sides (ok maybe a bit too much XD). And maybe add a better base dmg configuration for these weapons so people can adjust them for their modpacks. Many other Mods adding dmg items do just that like IE adds config for bullet dmg adjusting. (I increased the ember dmg by configuring the emberdamage type with a 8x modifier to make the weapons compete with the many other strong weapons and Mobs in my Modpack but sadly the golem also seems to draw from that dmg type making him be the super laser cannon of doom with his 8 times stronger death beem attack)

4. Mobs: You could add some more mobs the golem is nice and all but is there no plan to add a boss mob? Or at least some grumpy Dwarves into the Mountains?

5. And lastly…..A frigging Tank! XD … Well not really more like the car from the Flintstones strapped with a beam cannon at the front and an embers energy cell at the back. But yes I had the idea for a Mount that would fit in with this mod and pretty nicely to that. I came up with the idea of adding a vehicle/mount simply works like a horse just that it doesn’t die or drawn you can ride it go up one block high and so on but to craft it you would need to go pretty deep into the tech tree of the mod. But you could add upgrading features to it to make it less like just a better horse. For example you could instead of a saddle in its inventory put a beam cannon slot to make it a tank and you could fire it at mobs XD that would be fun. The second Slot in the inventory would be something you always need to fill in for it to drive … an ember energy cell filled with embers energy (drains by driving around or firing the cannon. Well you would have to walk if it runs out and you have no spare one). I just love the idea of being able to drive around in a Blocky Stone care made from bricks, Dawnstone plates and some ember technology etc, and fire stuff to death with the beam cannon. There are already many new mods adding vehicles but they have no style and only add a ton of real world cars nothing fantasy like but this Dwarven/Steampunky themed mod holds just that potential to go Mad Max.

Well with all of that said my ideas end here. If you like them or think wtf does this guy want from me all garbage ideas mod isabandoned anyway… I don’t mind just wanted to get the ideas out of my head and into yours. Here have some tiny tanks for reading all this.
