Weapon Idea:
(BM means BioMass)
Incendiary Rifle (70 BM):
Not quite a flamethrower. Instead it is a rifle that starts with a magazine of 5 large caliber bullets. More can be grown at the polyp for 30 BM for each magazine. This rifle will shoot an incendiary tracer bullet which causes a fireball where it hits (3x3, low severity), but it will do a whopping 50 burn damage if it hits an unarmored human/monkey, and set them on fire. Also, if said target is at very low health (-50), it'll just gib them in a glorious fireball of death as their burnt gibs and clothes fly everywhere.
A direct hit on a plasma canister in an oxygenated environment will cause the canister to leak and burn. If it's a pressure mix of plasma and oxygen... Kaboom.
This weapon will NOT fire in space or anywhere where combustion cannot happen (I.E a room filled with CO2.) Also the maximum range on this rifle is a measly 6 tiles. So yes, if you wanna blow up a burn mix, good luck with that.
The rifle also needs 5 seconds to recharge, nerfing it further, so you can't just mow down a crowd with this.
