particle accelerator and treskton

Post by deuxhero »

What is the purpose of the first one, and where do I find the 2nd?

I think he means that machine that radiates you in ABI. (Near the blue lasers and the turret, which lead to the big ABI/WC battleground.)

Oh, that's just some experimental weapons technology they've been working on down there. Maybe it has something to do with the gibinator? Maybe it doesn't. In any case it's neat :)

But then I do say so myself - and I was the one who added it to the map.

I take your confusion as evidence that you didn't add the nearby book that explicity calls it a particle accelerator?

"Particle accelerator" and "experiment weapons tech" are not mutually exclusive, of course.

Technically a gun is a particle accelerator: it's just accelerating a lot of particles in one big clump. ;)

Wait, what? Like I just said, just because it's a particle accelerator that doesn't mean it's not also an experimental weapon. Yes?

Or to put it more viscerally: "I have here a beam of positrons travelling at 0.7C: would you like to put your hand in the beam?"

No I certainly added that as well, but have you seen how huge this game is!? I can't be expected to remember every text file in the mod :P

That's why I keep a list of them...
