I attempted to fuse a Solus Katana T6 with a Trunkcutter from Betabound. I chose the Trunkcutter visual, but the element and ability of the Solus Katana. What ended up happening is that the Solus Katana was consumed and it spit back out a completely unaltered Trunkcutter that was just renamed to Solus Katana. All of its properties were the same as a normal Trunkcutter. So it consumed my Solus Katana for nothing.

It seems to be incompatible with the FU attribute

I thought this was superfluous if you have Weapon Assembly, but this mod working with unique weapon makes it different. Weapon asembly only works with parts. This can change the properties of an unique.

heads up for anyone planning to give this mod a go, the order which you place the weapons seems to affect the combo it uses for the primary

also, don't expect all weapons, especially heavily modded ones to work, but ive done some testing and it works on almost all mods with some exceptions

shockingly works 9 years later, you made something incredible

had an error after slashing a creature with two modded swords that were fused. i cant send the starbound log file because i dont know if im even in the right one or how to tell the newest logs

Sadly, this breaks the Kluex Staff.
However, technically you can still fuse it into another staff, but it might be a bit weird.

@grug gaming
That... that is definitely a bit odd. I have noticed that it doesn't always work well with unique weapons, which the Protectorate Broadsword is one of. It works 90%+ of the time in my experience, but, thanks to different mod lists and all, results may vary.

Huh weird. I put in a protectorate broadsword on one side (DPS 50 or 60 can't remember) and the finished weapon came out with 35.

@grug gaming
Generally, yes. There's some weird edge cases, but the DPS is usually determined by the level of the weapon, and it keeps the higher stats associated with whichever is a higher level. Long story short, it doesn't *explicitly* keep the DPS as far as I can tell, but it does keep all the stuff that makes that DPS and therefore has the same DPS, yeah.

Do fused weapons just take the biggest DPS of the two?

Unfortunately some weapons compatibility are glitched and result in a not functional weapon, so the best thing to not get weapon loss is to make a prototype before the final wepon, and yes if you merge a very good gun with a bad gun you will get sometimes a bad result so merge weapons wisely, eh?

is there a max amount they can be fused? i find i always get tons of broadswords can i layer fusions and fuse them all?

lastly it would be great if you added in a damage combining mechanic?

for example: if i get a pistol that looks great but it only does 1 damage and i have another pistol that does 1.5 but isnt overly appealing to the eye, i want to be able to make a good looking pistol with higher damage same as broadswords spears etc. (mostly limited to weapons with atk under 10 to keep it from becoming too op, also helpful for early game)

currently playing on FU.. uh version? the newest.
it seems i am unable to merge Quarterstaves from Vanilla with Quarterstaves from FU.
all other weapon types seem to work?

also: Attempting o merge the Pyrite Lance with an Irridum spear (only taking over the Rocket spear ability) seems to turn the result into "Generic item"??

i just want a decent weapon with "Rocket spear"
my one wish, denied... ah

also. when you want to keep a "counts as X set bonus" keeping the "Visual" of desired weapon works.

Primary attack has had s far no changes on anything (i assume only changes Guns and Staffs/Wand attacks)

I don't seem to be able to combine two different shields. Is this intended, or is a bug of some kind? They're both from vanilla, and I've tried with several different vanilla shields and copies, so I'm not sure what's up with that.

Hey, I don't suppose it would be possible to add another option to the fusion panel.
The ability to pick which weapon has primary Damage per shot/swing + Rate of Fire?
Not separately of course as that would be op, but I've lost the good damage from a few weapons.. it doesn't seem to prioritise the damage from either side, it seems to pick at random

Latest update?
FU Compatibility?

Can it put modded elements onto regular weapons (solar type from Arcana onto a vanilla spear, for example)? Also, can it put modded specials onto weapons with a different type (solar flurry onto an electric type spear) and have it switch to that type?

I use RPG Growth and this mod seems to be turning my Durasteel-tier Avali Katana into a broadsword when fused with a Durasteel Katana, rendering it useless if I want to make a samurai avali. Also, the Dash Slash attack of the Durasteel Katana doesn't do damage anymore.

A separate mark for Rarity transfer would be nice.
Also lot of modded melee weapons either stop working after a first swing or simply crash, when I'm trying to apply secondary attack from another weapon. How should I do that? Which marks do I need to apply?

*throws litres of waters downstairs* this should help with the fire,hopefully

now fire get upstairs plzhelp

Help the man below me has gone mad everything is either full of holes or on fire send help.

IM GONNA FUSE A LAZERCASTER AND A SHOTGUN AND SEE THE CHAOS AS A MILLION LAZERS GO IN EACH AND EVERY DIRECTION

doesnt work with Axe weapons

Which weapon does it take its damage and rate of fire from?

Seems to break all axe-type weapons for some reason.

This is super interesting! I wonder, how does it know what to do what it does, even with modded weapons?

wow i just realized this mod was last updated in 2016 and yet from what i can see while playing it works flawlessly even with newer mods
just shows its well made

Does it work with weapon mod like FFS?

-casually names 2 gauntlets ''the world'' in the distance while jo jo music plays-

can you make it so mixing weapons together doesn't nullify their frackin universe's upgrades or make them unable to be upgraded

I tried to fuse patman big gun with patman gord freem get the glocc to make an insanely powerful rapid fire gun (gord freem's glocc is word, and counts as a pistol, despite being two-handed), it worked, but the stats only carried over from the weapon with the texture, so now I have a gord freem's glocc but pain

mod:
people: OOGA BOOGA DIS COMPATEBEL WITH FRACKING OM GGUYS I LOVE fracking so much i just can't.

Any chance this could be made compatible with Frackin' Universe?

@Dorian I've had fused weapons remain after removing/unsubbing from the mod.

@Aaron_Lykin More than likely not.

are the weapons supposed to turn into a perfectly generic item?

Suggestion: How about an Armor Fusion Panel? That would be very cool!

does it work with fu?

A question was asked by someone earlier, which I don't recall ever got an answer.
I believe it was...

"If I fuse a weapon and then remove the mod, does the weapon remain?"

This is a legitimate question, a curious one i'd like to know the answer to also.

It did not, I don't believe.

last time i played (roughly a year ago or something) i couldnt put the time pierce's ability into other weapons, did that get fixed?

@D.A.R.K. yes

Does this MOD still work with 1.4 update?

Brilliant. This mod is absolutely incredible.

Hey, sorry if I'm being dense and missing something obvious, but how does the fusion logic work for weapon rarity? When I merge a common and a rare gun, it seems like it's just random chance as to whether the result is common or rare. This is a big deal because elemental weapons only apply DoT if their rarity is higher than uncommon.
With this in mind, cosmetically merging in a prettier model can seriously nerf your damage because you can lose your DoT

Hey, would you mind if I were to mention and include this mod in a guide I am making? I will give full credit and other information if you want. (also weapon reinforcer pod)

When can the kluex staff be fixed?

If I fuse a weapon and then remove the mod, does the weapon remain?
