[ETF] My Personal Psychic Lance Pack

---

======> ABOUT | READ ME FIRST <======

---

This mod expands psychic and biomutation lances by letting you combine them into stronger, more efficient versions. Instead of carrying multiple single-use lances, you can merge them into one item with either higher charges or area-of-effect capabilities. --- #1 Comment Not sure if anyone using this mod is reading this, but just a heads-up that the next update will most likely cause errors with existing saves. I am changing the defNames, packageID, and some other code-related stuff. Potentially adding mod settings as well. I know that in some situations you can probably just brush it off, but if the mod is heavily integrated into your save, there is a chance it could cause some major issues. So, I recommend backing up the current version of the mod to a local folder and using that version for now. That way, you can keep using it with your current playthrough and switch to the updated version on your next one. Alternatively, you can go to the official source code section and download an older version from there. This is really only a concern for current players whose saves are using the old version of the mod. Any new saves made after the update should be fine. --- #2 Comment Also, I am really sorry about the current mod presentation. I was definitely rushing it and, honestly, felt pretty lazy with it. The next update will give it a proper makeover and make it look a lot better. Anyhow, good day to you all!
