what does redux mean?

Brought back. Here it's used in a positive sense.

The original Liquid Flame Gun wasn't so much of a gun...it didn't do damage. So I made it do damage.

that brings something to mind... can you make a reverse strength digger? It would destroy metal the easiest, then concrete, and it'd take longer for it to cut through softer stuff like ground and dirt.

No you can't. There are ways to make weapons damage actors more than the terrain, which is almost like reverse strength, but metal actors will still take less damage than weaker actors.

No....
In order to destroy stronger materials you need to raise the overall power of the digger. BUT there is hope. With LUA there is a small possibility you can set diggers to act on different materials differently.

I love your mods.

Nope, it's only going to be for scenes.
