I wonder who still play with this sandbox
@InterAction_studios Iāve changed the overheat times for some weaponsā lower firepower levels. They will start with a higher overheat time that gradually decreases through higher fp levels, until they are able to start handling crowds proper. Iāve gotten some people to test it, and they said it was fine.
Also included: A damage nerf for Plasma Rifle.
PS: I also a found a bug using the Excels. Apparently, you can use them to see what waves will show up in Daily Challenges, surrender, and itāll be as if you never played the mission. This allows the player to know what waves show up in the mission, and then turn the excel off to actually do the mission with foresight as to what waves show up, and what to bring.

Thanks, Iāll have a look.
Acknowledged, but wonāt fix. Excel override functionality will be removed eventually anyway.

I had a look. I didnāt really anticipate the overheat times to rise that much 
But I have no problem with making the change.
However, there is an issue with your Lightning values. Look at the āc_DamageUntilOverheatā chart. Thereās a sharp decline between powers 5 and 6.

At FP 6, it gets itās second bolt, which makes it better for crowd control, so I donāt think the decline will be too impactful.
But of course, I can nerf the buff for lightning so the decline is gone.

The reason why Lightning had a constant higher overheat till fp 6 is because it only has one bolt, which makes it hard to deal with more enemies at a time.

I made some changes to Vulcan, Utensil, and Corn. If you have the time, please have a look.
Vulcan has been made slightly stronger, since Boron really outperforms it on higher heat levels.
The change was made so that itās on par with heated Boron. Also makes the āoverheatedā Vulcan slightly less of a pushover, since it will barely hit anything.
Has an increase in DPS and DUO. (Damage Until Overheat).
Utensilās firerate was increased, and is now a constant value.
Felt that it was a bit too sluggish, and it doesnāt feel like what it used to be like, so I made it faster.
Has a slight increase in DPS and DUO.
EDIT: I nerfed the damage for the forks. Forgot to do so before. Oops.
Has a slight decrease in DPS and DUO.
Corn was made faster, but does less damage.
This is the counteract the probability of missing shots, and also to make it better against waves where enemies can escape.
Has a slight decrease in DPS and DUO.
If itās possible, please implement those changes.
If you have any feedback for the changes, please let me know. Thanks.

Changed in v.75 Idea
Two thoughts:
-
I find it slightly worrying that you havenāt been able to test these values using an external Excel. Maybe itās worth bringing that feature back.
-
Iāve made all suggested changes, except that Iāve left corn damage values as they were before. I felt it would otherwise be too much of a sideways move rather than a straight-up improvement. But let me know if itās OP now.

Yes please. This makes it so I can let others see if the changes will be ok or not.

I assume itās not possible to make it so that only certain users may use that functionality, to avoid exploitations

Thatās sadly not possible.

Starting with v.75, the capability to override weapon values though an external Excel file has been temporarily reinstated.
The link to the Excel file has been updated in the original post.

How about Ion Blaster? Since they change the damage but nerf the OverheatTime make this weapon still unpopular and weak, I think they should buff the overheat time of this weapon to make this weapon back in the space !! ( sorry for my bad english )
Unpopular is true but weak is not anymoreā¦maybe
