Fracture Warheads

Description

The Fracture Warheads (FW) is my third mod published to the steam workshop. I developed this mod as a fun experiment which evolved into what it is now. Beyond that, the major factor was turning ships into debris fields and staring into the abyss.

HOW IT WORKS
This mod works as a regular warhead however upon detonation, the warhead deletes nearby grids and spawns them as fragments from their position which they are then scattered. Fragments thresholds and their sizes are configurable allowing you to edit, add or remove thresholds along with processing settings.

HOW TO USE
  1. Build the warhead to your desire in design.
  2. Arm the Warhead (It MUST be armed otherwise it will function as a regular warhead).
  3. Enjoy the "Fireworks"!
Be cautions as fragments can be flung at high velocities and fragments can have unexpected collisions.

HOW TO CONFIGURE
  1. Load the mod into your world, load the world then exit and reload.
  2. Navigate to your save directory: "%AppData%\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\(YourID)\(WorldName)\Storage\"
  3. Open the "fracture_config.cfg" and edit the desired values, save the file, and reload the world!
  • If you forget the original values or wish to revert your changes, simply delete the config file (the mod will automatically generate a new one)



PIFP-1
The "PIFP" or Phase Induced Fracture Payload is a late generation fracture warhead originally developed for Military Strategic Operations. The "Leviathan" is the smallest warhead in its class, commonly deployed in compact torpedoes and missiles, designed for precision strike operations.
  • PIFP-1 "Leviathan" // 50M

PIFP-2
The "PIFP" or Phase Induced Fracture Payload is a late generation fracture warhead originally developed for Military Strategic Operations. The "Kraken" is a medium-sized warhead in its class. Commonly deployed via medium-class missiles. It is designed for strikes against larger ships and stations.
  • PIFP-2 "Kraken" // 100M

PIFP-3
The "PIFP" or Phase Induced Fracture Payload is a late generation fracture warhead originally developed for Military Strategic Operations. The "Jormungandr" is the largest warhead in its class. Commonly deployed in Interstellar Cruise Missiles (ISCMs), it is reserved for high-level strategic engagements or "red-button" scenarios.
  • PIFP-3 "Jormungandr" // 200M
  • PIFP-3/A "Jormungandr" // 200M

PRECISION ASSEMBLER
The Precision Assembler is a high-tier assembler that enables advanced fabrication with high dimensional accuracy. Used to fabricate components that are required to construct the 'fracture' warheads. Can be used to construct regular components as-well.
  • Precision Assembler

5 ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS
Used in the construction of the fracture warheads.
  • Phase Capacitor // Used to construct the Fracture Warhead
  • Ring Modulation Processor // Used to construct the Fracture Warhead
  • Seismic Core // Used to construct the Fracture Warhead
  • Logic Isolation Unit // Used to construct the Fracture Warhead
  • Tession Lattice // Used to construct the Fracture Warhead



  • All Models are custom created and support Build-Stages. Models further include, custom subpart animations.

  • Includes custom particle and sound effects (typically drowsed out because of collisions and other explosions).

  • Includes a configurable file for fragment thresholds and processing.

  • Items within inventories of blocks that are affected by the warhead will be lost.

  • This mod can cause severe performance issues. I do not recommend using more than one warhead per design or using more than one within the same engagement radius or using these warheads against extremely large grids (Your game will probably freeze for a while or it could crash).

All development for this project has been completed.

NOT A SCRIPT

@smok_2017 The name would be "PAR4". The other warheads follow the same naming convention with its appropriate number.

@ZedexPlayz

What is the name of PIFP-3/A in the file because I want to block the modem Block Restrictions
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2053202808

because when I search for elements in vs22, I can't find any line with that element.

If your near the bomb when is explodes it crashes the game.

Maybe make it to where the targeted grid comes apart in large chunks instead of from every block? That would definitely help make everything a lot more stable

@GigaCars Thank you for the suggestion! I may implement a similar concept in the future to provide flexibility for this mod!

Crashed my game the first time I tried it lol I love it
Hopefully it doesn't keep crashing my game because I have plans.
GigaCars Aug 24, 2025 @ 10:10am 
most likely it is lol

I have to know.....
Is this the quickest way to crash a server? XD

random suggestion

early gen warheads ig, all small grid ofc

SFP-1: a early gen shock fracture warhead, designed for precision strikes against ships or to cripple smaller ships, has no special materials, 15m range, size of PIFP-2

SFP-2: another early gen shock fracture warhead, designed as a means to combat defense stations, 30m range, requires a "Seismic Core MKI"(half price of seismic core, buildable in normal assembler, but not basic), 3x3x1(aka PIFP-3 secondary variant)

SFP-3: you already know lmao, used in cruise missiles often, 50m range, requires Logic Isolation Unit, and a Seismic Core MKI, 5x5x2/3x3x7

idk i got bored, these are entirely optional and will basically serve as the cheaper more early game option to PIFP's
