Important:
Entity culling may not be incompatible with this mod, but it is not clear what is needed to do with the config to me to make it function correctly. If you are someone who knows how to fix this issue(a necessary entity skipping rendering because of entity culling) please do contact me on the discord. Otherwise, to casual players, I would not reccomend using Entity culling with this mod.
New kosmogliphs:
Tear: Nailgun kosmogliph Nails apply a stack of Impaled on hit entities. Entities with impaled will take 0.5 * stacks of impaled bonus damage to a max of 15 when hit with any melee damage.

Aesthetic changes:
- All railguns have been given a new beam effect, this should just look better then the old particles.

- Electricity from conductive and capacitance has a new beam effect so it looks better.
- Kosmic gem has a new sprite(and so does it’s slot in the table)

- Fixed an issue that caused explosive railgun nukes to deal extra damage in hard and lower damage in easy and peaceful.
- Fixed an issue that caused players to gain wrong horizontal momentum with jump.
Notes:
I'm sorry this update is so small. It originally had a much larger scope but that scope just couldn’t be reached due to just how entities are and how inexperienced I am.
Hopefully this update packed full of aesthetic and QoL changes makes up for that somewhat. Sorry this couldn’t be what I’d hoped, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
Happy holidays, Enjoy 2.0

Bug Fixes:

Notes:
We have done it, that is every vanilla weapon with at least 1 kosmogliph, expect future content to be focused on new weapons and reworks for existing kosmogliphs.
A lot of reworks of this update, and that is intentional. Snipe has been needing to feel more fluid and dynamic, it was just hard to use before. Astral slash and deep wounds are also hopefully improved by this, making them a bit more than just throwing it out.
Quite frankly, the nailcannon needed some heavy nerfs, but I did like some aspects it had before, so it is keeping certain features it did have in its slow_fire mode while still making it worse than it was, hopefully I’ve not undertuned it.
This update will be the final update for a little while as I am off on holiday soon enough. There might be an update next week that will include balance changes, but unlikely to contain reworks. I hope this update is nice and fun for y’all for the next couple weeks.
As always, if you want updates on the mod as well as spoilers for upcoming content, join the Team Voided discord server and if you want to report issues please put them on the Github repository. There are likely to be issues with descriptions so the more eyes making sure it's all okay, the better.
Bugfixes
- Fixed an issue where server logs would be clogged with many printed lines("sorry" - astra)
Bug fix time :)
- New Cosmic table rendering. The table now only renders a Kosmic gem if it has one in its inventory. And it also renders the tool that placed within. (This is the reason the rendering was broken in 1.12)
- Nails particles are now more random
- Nails no longer lose their hit sounds after hitting a block
- Nail damage has been added to
KEEPS_MOVEMENT - Nailcannon now has shooting sounds
- changed creative tab to be KOSMIC_GEM
- Updated and fixed the kosmic table UI
- applied kosmogliphs now have a custom background
Added a new weapon!
Say hello to the Nailcannon, a rapid-firing weapon that regenerates ammo over time, storing up to 100 nails. Each nail deals a couple nail damage and adds a new effect to the entities hit. The nailcannon comes with 3 new kosmogliphs of its own.
New effects
Conductivity: A new effect that does a few things. When the target is hit by plasma or lightning damage, it will take 1% more per level, shoot out arcing lightning to nearby entities, sharing some damage, and reduce the levels on the entity by 5.
New kosmogliphs:
Capacity: Increases the number of nails the nailcannon has by 2x, reduces the time it takes for 1 nail to recharge by 50%. Overheat: After 10 nails are fired, nails are set ablaze, dealing 1 extra fire damage and causing the entity to be set on fire. Static release: After a volley of nails is fired, an extra nail is. This nail deals 1 extra electric damage.
QoL changes:
- In the cosmic table, when hovering over kosmogliphs, some text is displayed to tell you about the kosmogliph.
- Changed the colour of kosmogliph related text in the item tooltip to be more visible
Changes to kosmogliphs
Movement kosmogliphs â–²

- Now applies +1 level of bleed when hitting a melee hit
Basic railgun â–²

Snipe â–²
- Now deals 22.5 damage to non-player entities each shot
Explosive â–²

Time bomb â–¼
- Increased cooldown 5s -> 20s
Brand new kosmogliphs
Ankle guard: Prevents falling below 1hp when falling. Helmet exclusive
Parry: Holding up the shield at the right time lets you parry attacks. Parrying projectiles sends an explosive beam forwards. Parrying other attacks deals the damage to the attacker.
Frost thorns: When the shield is hit, spew out a set of ice bolts.
Changes to kosmogliphs
Protection kosmogliphs â–¼
- Changed it so that damage reduction is done after armor. This should mean you take more damage overall.
General changes:
- Changed/added some damage types to type tags. This has various effects.
- Bleed and drain now properly ignore armor, drain now also ignores effects
- Plasma damage does not trigger thorns on guardians.
Bugfixes
- Fixed an issue that caused explosions from astral arsenal to deal damage based on difficulty, they should now do the appropriate amount of damage in all difficulties. Note that this does not effect vanilla explosions. Creeprs, ghasts, TNT, crystals, etc. should still do the appropriate amount of damage.
Notes
There are no proper balance changes in this version because 1.9.0 was never properly tested by me, and nobody came forward with any suggestions. With new kosmogliphs being added, there are likly to be more balance changes to shape the mod into a new meta.
However, it is likly that balance changes will be fewer and further between and new content will by my focus. 2.0.0 is going to be a rework of the code, and aesthetical switch-up. But until then, expect new kosmogliphs and such. I am likly to leave things be a little more to let the meta settle.
As per usual, feel free to join the discord for sneak peaks on newer features, and to talk about the mod. Otherwise, enjoy Astral Arsenal 1.10.0.
Changes to kosmogliphs
Endurance â–¼
- Damage reduction 75% -> 65%

- Added a new mechanic - Crimson time. Crimson time works as a coyote time for melee attacks. This takes heavy inspiration from Enchancement which has the same mechanic. Crimson time, when activated, will change the crosshare to red. Credit to blur for the implementation, and Moriya for the inspiration.
Bugfixes
- Fixed an issue that caused reduce to not work or scale
Notes

Notes:
The absorption gained from deep wounds has a cap, so it isn't as broken as it seems at first. it also only lasts 5 seconds, so youll find it hard to get too much use out of it. it just felt like a fun thing to keep PVE fights engaging and relentless.

- Now increases number of arrows with multishot 10 -> 15

Notes:
Nothing to really note, dash, jump, and dodge all had problems with how much they'd be reduced by frost frames, and ray of frost was very broken.
As per usual, balance changes will continue to happen every week. If you feel something is too strong, or too weak, please contact me on discord in the #astral-arsenal channel on the Team Voided discord server. Additionally please report bugs to the Github repository.
Enjoy, and have a nice week!

- Dash now boosts you 25% less when at 25% or less hp. Hard damage counts towards max hp, so if you have 10 max hp thanks to hard damage, you’d need to have 2.5 hp or less to count.
- after being airborne for 5 seconds leads to an increase in air movement speed.
- Jump is 70% quieter
- dodge is prettier
Cannonball, Mortar, Explosive â–¼
- Reduced damage of the explosive railgun + cannonball/mortar 20 -> 17.5
Hard damage â–²

- Jump now recharges when in fluids

- Hammer and vein mine no longer effect blocks outside the world boarder
Notes:
This patch I wanted to focus on making fights more interesting. PvP fights had a tendency to continue on and on, with one player backing out to eat and heal every 5 seconds. Im aiming to reduce the effectiveness of this strategy by making it harder to run, more rewarding to fight, and giving more ways to attack escaping players.
The increase in airborne speed is to just make moving feel more fun, that's it. Speed = fun :3
Railgun and snipe have been changed for a more PvP oriented design, rewarding good aim with high armour-piercing damage. To make this more interesting then a 1-click-delete half hp button once per fight, the hard damage mechanic has been introduced. This should make it a risky, but highly rewarding play.
Hard damage changes have been made to make it a more interesting mechanic overall.
Beams of light have been hard to use, or outright worthless. Changes to them are here to try and make them more usable.
Major update this week with a lot of changes, hope you enjoy. As per usual, balance changes will continue to happen every monday. If you feel something is too strong, or too weak, please contact me on discord in the #astral-arsenal channel on the Team Voided discord server. Additionally please report bugs to the Github repository.
Thanks for playing
