Is there a mod that adds flamethrowers?
And I mean real flame throwers, not moltovs or Incendiary launchers. I feel like a flamethrower would be the most appropriate tool for dealing with an infestation. Or in general base defense.

Just curious, have you tried the flamethrower mod in the workshop? It was the first hit when I searched. Same person also made a grenade launcher mod.

I know I played with a mod that added a handful of extra weapons a while back and a flamethrower was among what was added. It was rapid fire and semi-aoe starting fires anywhere the 'bullets' landed but I cannot remember the name of the mod (and for all I know it's not compatible with V1 or B19).

I do think a flamethrower would be a rather potent option. However, most weapons that leave fire based explosions have an impact area (such as molotovs, grenades, mines, and the like).It'd be pretty powerful as it would more than likely spew out a lot of fire in a short time. But it'd either spread to other flammables and cause a mess, or have nothing to spread to and be snuffed out rather quick. I'd be definitely curious to see how something like that would pan out.

Considering how one of my earliest posts on these forums was talking about how I liked to shoot bears with mortars:

I would say that my mental state hasn't changed much.

Edit: Just realized you were the first one to post on that thread too. Has it really been two years?

I could see it being a super short range (3-4 tile range) but would be an AOE damage dealer, preferrably in a cone. Aim time and reload time would be about equivalent to a revolver, but like all ranged weapons (save for the pila) it would get interrupted melee attacks. Basically you would need to body block your flamethrower with a melee user of your own but it would keep the bugs/raiders at bay. Thats how I would implement it if I could actually code stuff.

That seems almost like an Incendiary launcher getting rekinned and buffing the aim and reloading times. It's a start but it's not exactly what I am looking for.

I remember that post! Also, eesh, we HAVE been posting here for a while now. I suppose that shouldn't surprise me, I've started to remember names here, like yours :). Not something that happens on many steam boards.

I'm active on a few steam boards but this is definitely the one I am most active on. I like the community here.

Try the 40k Mechanicus mod, it adds a bunch of guns and the flame thrower is pretty nice.
