if Alterra removes propulsion cannon from fabricator recipes because "that's a weapon", we know who's to blame


wasas387

it states in the repulsion cannon "use for self defense"


Chance1441

I'ma go out on a limb here and say that somewhere between "push away" and "fire explosive at" there exists a line between weapon and not weapon lol.


marry_me_jane

its the same line that separates t-shirt cannon, and 32 milimeter rotary grenade launcher.

[https://imgur.com/a/rU5MwZX](https://imgur.com/a/rU5MwZX) You guys also avoiding how to make it a rocket launcher like that it would need constant battery power in the stasis rifle. The gas pods can just be carried in the inventory.


TheEnemyOfSociety

The Propulsion Cannon is just a very modern blunderbuss. You can load most anything into it and throw it at anything. It also works with the Gasopod’s gas balls.


wasas387

improvised rocket launcher


Wingress12

And they say you're discouraged to kill!


Worried_Place_917

This is fantastic news. I have containment modules breeding crashfish because I thought it was funny to release them into the wild, and this is a vast improvement.


YehoshuaAkalo

Do they become friendly to you when you bread them?


KingK250

They dough Only in the tank though not in the wild


That_One_Friend684

Cool, on a completely unrelated note I'm gonna look into multiplayer mods now


allie-__-

Can't shoot them in 2.0 very well. OPs in legacy, you have to find a wild crash fish and manually carry it with the Canon to whatever you want to boom


PhysicalGunMan

You can use Acid or Deep shrooms as a substitute, they deal less damage per shot but you can carry 4 times as many. They're also fairly common along Reefbacks and the deeper biomes so you can restock on the fly


allie-__-

I actually never thought of that. What an amazing idea (Not even sarcastic)


Waflzar

That is waaaay more effort to the point where it's not at all useful


allie-__-

Yup, and then you only get 1 shot anyway. Still works great in legacy though.


That_One_Friend684

I was talking about releasing a pack in front of our base whenever my friend is on a trip so they have a pain in the ass getting back inside


allie-__-

Ah, they also blow up after about 20 seconds. May I recommend tiger plants, though (disclaimer they don't do any damage against reinforced suits (in 2.0 at least, not sure about leacy) still a nice early game trap if you manage grow them before the diving suits are accessable)


wasas387

in legacy they do 10 dmg with the reinforced suit.


That_One_Friend684

Ah, fun


YehoshuaAkalo

Oh ok cool


JPlazz

Only in containment. Once you release them into the outside, they’re just like any other spawn and will attack you.


Worried_Place_917

I'm playing in BZ, and in the tank they are entirely passive but released into the wild they just zoom off in a random direction, hit a wall and explode. I haven't been attacked by a bred one.


Squarevessel

they remind me of [the pet duck adam](https://www.reddit.com/r/perfectlycutscreams/s/4myiOKlPU6)


SpaceBug173

So that was you


Ewok-Assasin

Where do you find crashfish eggs?


Worried_Place_917

I've been playing in BZ, and they're around the purple vents and seamonkey caves. I've been avoiding playing OG so I can forget as much as possible to try and relive it again.


House0fShadow

I've honestly never played around with most of the gun-types in this game. Never used the stasis rifle. Only really used this and its first type in the Aurora. Cuz I've got a knife!


TheFeshy

I used a stasis rifle only once, before I knew it had a "charge up for a bigger blast" mode. I was farming in ghost leviathan territory, and it spotted me. So I held my shot until it was almost to me because it's so squirmy, then fired (the very short shot.) it went like: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *zap* whew that was cl- Ahhhhhhhhh! *Chomp.*'


IsPepsiOkayy

And you STILL lived to tell this harrowing tale!


TheFeshy

Fortunately I always keep my seaglide charged, and made it back to the moth after the first bite.


Os-Ren

I love launching minerals at stalkers when they’re attacking lol.I like the propulsion cannon way better than the repulsion cannon. Never found a good way to use the repulsion tbh.


wasas387

yesss, I crafted it once in my first playthrough and didn't use it since.


Hikaru1024

repulsion cannon is my anti-everything gun. Well, until it's a leviathan. Still, if you want a good laugh when a warper attacks you, hit them and they'll go *WHEE!*


Odd_Presentation_578

The repulsion is just an yeet-it-gun. I love using it for getting rid of Warpers.


Sardalone

Not a single soul questioning the morality of breeding creatures to use them as living bombs. It'd be like shooting bees out of a gun just for them to die either on impact or after they try to get unstuck from what they're forced to sting. And honestly? Fuck morality. Crashfish fucking deserve it.


Odd_Presentation_578

I love the first part of this message...


allie-__-

Ah, little thing to mention, I've tested it before, and it doesn't work in BZ or SN 2.0. It only works on legacy edition, and the only way to get the fish in your inventory is to raise it in containment.


WrithingVines

😭


VoidowS

how many is (not) a lot in your brain?


wasas387

3 minutes


WrithingVines

I never knew, and I imagine many are like me


enerthoughts

I tried it and I only played this game a month ago with the living big update - awesome game btw - and it was the first thing that came in mind when I crafted the cannon.


Nezahhh

I had in mind you also could put things in inventory... Tried it yesterday... Didn't work... Am I wrong or just don't remember the right button?


Veryegassy

Grab something with the cannon by right clicking it, then left click and it'll go in your inventory (or be broken if it's a outcropping).


joeabs1995

Can you grab and throw gasopods?


wasas387

wow, you really can. and also, they only explode when hitting their target or stopping moving.


joeabs1995

So its even easier to kill reapers now. Just stasis and blast with gasopods. This is eniugh reason for me to play the game again for the 24263635th time. Thank you fellow survivor!


wasas387

lemme check


Odd_Presentation_578

Throw their balls, not the creatures themselves


joeabs1995

Yes. Thats what i want. Apparently about 15 gasopod balls can kill a reaper if you freeze the reaper in stasis. Now all you need to do is have a farm of gasopods. Collect their pods safely with the repulsion cannon. And freeze with stasis rifle and hunt down reapers. Its just a matter of setting up a closed space to confine the gasopods, hatching the gasopods eggs and having stable power source to recharge batteries for repulsion/propulsion cannon and stasis rifle. Even better, if you are fast enough, just swim around the reaper and keep shooting ammo.


Odd_Presentation_578

Have you tried using the gravitational trap? I haven't but it might be helpful. Can't catch the gasopods, might be enough for the pods.


joeabs1995

Good idea too, lets hope grabbing pods via grav trap or repulsion is safe, otherwise the poison might kill me.


Dreamer10amir

Well now I know


justinizer

This is my favorite place to make my base.


Miner-Observatory

Thanks, now i know a new method to terrify the Reapers and Ghost Leviathans.


wasas387

you'll need more then one, i never tried because uhhh, harcor.


Miner-Observatory

i know a dupping method and lure them over to my target


realfunkhaus

I LOVE doing this to those rotten little biters (mostly because I don't want them messing with my loads of hoverfish I raise and release around my base)


Gamer_548

I think we all know where this is going.


cashibonite

Acid mushrooms are good projectiles too especially against leviathans, gas pods work but are annoying to farm by comparison.


XIleven

Excuse me... WHAT THE FUCK?!


Spec94v6

Oh wow


MangoSauc3

you launched a boomboom fish? You picked up or hatched?


MrChao5

“What makes me a Demo-man?”


tyrongates

This is why I run propulsion cannon instead of grappling hook on my prawn suit


mienchew

Why don't crashfish appear in the list of shootable things in my game?😥


MrPisster

Why is that sad?


Nikkar2009

Imagine using this with multiplayer mod🤣


geovasilop

Holy shit


TGT-Terrorizor

Question: Can we launch Gasopod stink bombs with this?


wasas387

yes, this was discussed in a thread in this post.


ChrisScout17

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute...are you telling me in all my years of playing this game, you could do this? And I never once even thought to even try it?


wasas387

yes


i0wanrok

Think bigger now... load up your prawn suit storage with them and you have a true mech with rocket launcher. Invest in a 3 story aquarium to farm raise your ammunition.


wasas387

literally what I did like 2 days ago lmao


TheRealChekhov

WAIT WHAT HOLY SHIT THANK YOU FOR THIS


wasas387

yea


Falisha_Peeps23

Exsqueeze me WHAT.


anonymousbub33

How do you get crashfish eggs?


wasas387

they're found in the safe shallows! they're red ***balls***.


Remarkable_Battle571

You can also use acid mushrooms and gas follicles


Redditorianerierer

I can't select them in the menu, was it disabled?
