📋 About This Mod

A huge thanks to both Lee23 and EldritchCarMaker from SubnauticaModding Discord that helped me understand more about Unity and some nautilus utils.
This was my very first take on 3D Modelling/ SFX / VFX thing, i can hardly believe i'm finally releasing this.
V1. 1. 0 - Fixed a bug where sometimes the config multipliers wouldn't work.

Ionic Light Saber is a direct upgrade to the Thermoblade in Subnautica, adding a third and final knife tier with custom sound and visual effects. Damage and reach are configurable, offering a fresh endgame tool for players who want more power. With 37 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but functional addition.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Configurable damage and reach means you can tailor the saber to your playstyle, whether you want a balanced upgrade or an overpowered meme weapon.
- Custom SFX and VFX make it feel like a proper endgame tool, not just a stat stick.
- Fills a real gap in the game's progression—Thermoblade is the last knife, so this gives veterans something new to craft.
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count (37) means it's not widely tested—you might hit bugs or balance issues that the community hasn't ironed out yet.
- Only adds one item—if you're looking for a broader content pack, this won't scratch that itch.
For Subnautica players who've maxed out the Thermoblade and want a final, flashy upgrade with customizable stats. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or want a larger content overhaul—this is a single-item tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version is compatible with the mod's last update (October 2025) to avoid crashes.
- If you're using a mod manager like BepInEx, make sure to place the mod files in the correct folder—usually 'BepInEx/plugins'.
- Test the configurable damage and reach settings in a creative save before using it in survival, so you don't accidentally make the game too easy.
