Manipulator Gun
UPDATE 1.1: Tweaked Manipulator Gun stats, added Manipulator Gun Mk. IV at Accelerator crafting station. Manipulator Gun now uses beamaxe.png, so if you have a Matter Manipulator retexture or replacer, it will use that texture.
Unsatisfied with your Matter Manipulator’s manipulation of matter? It matters no more! This mod manipulates into existence your very own modification for the Matter Manipulator that allows it to shoot your enemies! Toss three manipulator modules into an anvil and just like that, your trusty tool gains the functionality to shoot anything that stands in your way. It even comes with a flashlight, for those dangerous cave encounters.
But what’s that, you say? You want to make your new pea shooter less "pea" and more "shoot"? No problem. Once you’ve upgraded your anvil, you can spend six more modules to increase the Manipulator Gun’s damage, capacity and fire rate! After an additional anvil upgrade, you can spend nine more modules to tune up the gun even further!
